So when Prince Charming visited every home in the kingdom, he was just trying to reach her about her shoe's extended warranty?

In the original brothers Grimm story the prince had covered the palace stairs in sticky pitch to trap her, causing it to slip off. The original story was pretty messed up. Like the stepsisters cut off the their heel or toes to make the shoe fit, and got narced on by some crows saying their foot was bloody.

Didn't they also get their eyes pecked out at the wedding?

A lot of og Disney stories that were originally Grimm stories were brutal and surprisingly dark. You think Disney Pinocchio movie was dark? The original was even bad

A lot of Disney Stories were based on older fairy tails that did not necessarily have a happy plot. In The Little Mermaid by Andersen, after receiving human legs in exchange for her voice, the mermaid described the pain of walking like stepping on knives and her feet constantly bled iirc. However, despite of this, she often danced because the prince liked watching her dance. The prince eventually fell in love with someone else, breaking the mermaid's heart. She was eventually given the option of reclaiming her legs by killing the prince. Unable to bring herself do so, she jumps into the sea and dissolves to foam. Silver lining is that she went to heaven.

Even worse when you realize that if the shoes fit her perfectly, it never should have fallen off. And worse still when you realize that glass shoes are really not that great for your feet due to a lack of flexibility and durability.
Basically just don’t think too much about it

Well-fit shoes to fall off. Just look at videos where little girls are hit by trucks.

I'm pretty sure a lot of things fall off when a fast moving object collides with something.

Shoes don’t have to be flexible to be comfortable. Wooden shoes were worn for a long time and weren’t replaced because they weren’t comfortable or practical to wear but to manufacture at scale due to needing precise adjustments for comfort.

So what you're saying is, she wasnt the one the prince danced with, and totally stole another girls spot.

It was a plot by the Fairy godmother. She needed the favor of the Prince so she planted Cinderella in his path. That way she could always have an in to the BLUE Kingdoms foreign policy and affect the BLUE Kingdoms decisions regarding the RED Kingdom. For she was a RED spy sent by the evil Supreme Comrade of the Eastern Friendship Club.

Easy: it's a midas touch flavor of magic. She wasn't in contact with the shoe at the end of the wish period, so it persisted past it's planned expiry.

Glass is magically and chemically inert, hence why it can still hold the most volatile of potions

Fairygodmother gave her the slippers, she didn't transform anything.
