Balzac's and Littré's (a nineteenth-century man of letters, author of an important dictionary), to be precise. They stipulated the verre/vair confusion. But "pantouffles de verre" (though in various spellings) are in Perrault's tale, and also in Catalan, Irish and Scottish versions.

Indeed, the original text of Perrault's tale " Cendrillon ou la petite pantoufle" does use pantoufles de verre ("glass slippers") not once but three times (see below), so it's clearly neither a mistranslation nor a (simple) misprint. However, the argument against mishearing seems to me to be extremely weak. Though I'm not any sort of expert in the history of French, a bit of poking around on Gallica suggests that vair was still used to describe a glamorous and valuable kind of squirrel fur, in the context of talk about the olden days, quite a bit later than 1697. If the word had indeed gone out of everyday usage, then that creates exactly the sort of context in which a creative mishearing would be likely. Claim: Cinderella's slippers were made of fur in the original versions of the fairy tale, but they became glass slippers in later versions as the result of a mistranslation.

Similarly, Quevedo in El mundo por de dentro (1612) has amber slippers being used to disguise sweaty feet (“a veces los pies disimulan el sudor con las zapatillas de ámbar”). Amber slippers were still available in Regency England, and are evoked in contemporary advertising for Miss Natasha Perfume (“this princess of perfumes makes her way on Amber slippers and Lily négligés. A warm and slow burning temptress that stands on her own”).The first edition of Perrault's stories contained illustrations, but I could not find out if there was any of them displaying Cendrillon/Cinderella 's "pantoufles de verre". Though Hugh Rawson in his "Devious Derivations" (1994)correctly signals that the glass slippers cannot have been born from a mistranslation from French to English, he does not really solve the riddle how "vair" became "verre". My own preferred hypothesis is that Perrault "mis-understood" the oral version of an existing folktale. But who can prove that it was not just a stroke of genius: Perrault sensing that a "glass" slipper had infinitely more poetic potential than the obsolete "fur slipper", and consciously re-shaping this detail? The relevance of this is to be found a while later in L0pe de Vega’s La Dorotea. Published in 1632, 65 years before Perrault, it recreates the author’s passionate and disastrous fling with actress Elena Osorio in the early 1580s and has the heroine worrying of having to trade in her amber slippers for crudely bound sandals (“Si don Bela quiere, tú verás estos pies que celebrabas trocar las zapatillas de ámbar en groseras sandalias de cordeles”).

DH Green ( Language and History in the Early Germanic World) notes that both Pliny and Tacitus used glaesum/ glesum to refer to amber, despite being aware of the difference in manufacture between it and glass. This conscious confusion was based on the transparency of both materials, and in the competition between products manufactured thereof–native beads and Roman glass objects.Warm & Kawaii: Your feet will be surrounded by cozy lining, which will give your foot enough support.

The principal difficulty with the standard explanation is that pantoufle de verre appears in Perrault's original text, so this is definitely not a question of mistranslation. Nor does it seem to be a case of mishearing, with Perrault writing verre for vair when transcribing an oral account, since vair, a medieval word, was no longer used in his time. ( Vair, variegated fur, from the Latin varius, varied, also is a root of miniver, originally menu vair, small vair, which referred initially to the fur — perhaps squirrel — used as trim on medieval robes and later was applied to the prized ermine, or winter weasel fur, on the ceremonial robes of peers.)

The standard explanation for Cinderella's famous footwear is that it is the result of a mistranslation, someone having mistaken pantoufle de vair, fur slipper, for pantoufle de verre, glass slipper, when making an English version of Charles Perrault's Histoires ou contes du temps passé avec des moralités (1697). (The title of Perrault's collection — in English, Stories or Tales of Olden Times with Morals— also is known as Tales of My Mother Goose, after a line that appears on the frontispiece of the original, Contes de ma mère l'oye.) Golden suggests both "expensiveness" and "light-reflection". So both "vair" ( expensive ermine-like fur) and "verre" ( glitter) fit the poetic core of this fairy-tale, of which there exists an unending list of variants. Some even Native American. Chi lo sa ? As long as philology has not decisively proved it was some sort of linguistic misunderstanding or orthographic error, there should remain room for "poetic invention" as the explanation. In that case we owe a wonderful detail to one man's creative genius. In this case not a metamorphosis of details brought about by the " anonymous folk", but by an identifiable author. Alas there is no proof, no certainty. I'm not entirely convinced. The fact that the Grimm bros. have "golden slippers" resonates with de Chateaubriand's observation that only knights "avaient le droit de porter ... l'or, le vair, l'hermine, le petit-gris, le velours, l'écarlate" ("had the right to wear gold, vair, ermine, gray squirrel fur, velvet, scarlet"). Note that "glass" is not on the list (though in fairness, I guess that glass was also a luxury item in medieval times). And I wonder what the collection date of the Catalan, Irish and Scottish versions is. I believe that there has been much more diffusion of folk tale details in recent centuries than is commonly assumed. Unless the other versions are from the era of 1700 -- which seems unlikely, since the collection of such tales was more typically a late 18th or 19th-century activity -- it seems as just as likely that Perrault's invention spread to other cultures as that there was a common pre-Perrault source for the idea of "glass slippers".
