The ruby slippers are the magical shoes worn by Dorothy (played by Judy Garland) in the 1939 MGM movie The Wizard of Oz.
The ruby slippers were designed by Gilbert Adrian.
One pair is on permanent exhibition at the National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. (ROAD TRIP!!!!!)
The Ruby Slippers play yet another integral role in the 1985 Disney film "Return to Oz", in which Disney had to obtain rights from MGM to use reproductions in the film. Unlike the slippers used in the 1939 film, the hand-made British spool-heeled shoes for Return to Oz were covered in hundreds of red crystals.
