The Silver Shoes are magical footwear appearing in L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz as heroine Dorothy Gale's transport home. They are originally owned by the Wicked Witch of the East but passed to Dorothy when her house lands on the Witch. At the end of the story, Dorothy uses the shoes to transport herself back to her home in Kansas, but when she arrives at her destination finds the shoes have fallen off en route.
