This is an interesting question and could have several
different answers:
- The Fairy Godmother who
created the shoe incorrectly sized it. It's possible. She was old.
- The glass slipper, though referred to as "glass," may
have actually been another see-through material that expanded (or stretched) over the
course of the night when the heat from Cinderella's foot was applied to it. This makes
sense because a true "glass slipper" more than likely would have cracked at some point
in the evening, mauling her foot. - As she danced,
Cinderella's foot got sweaty, providing lubrication, and while running her fit simply
came out. She was likely barefoot in the slipper, so this makes
sense. - The Fairy Godmother designed the shoe to come off
at the critical moment. In her wisdom it was planned all along so that the prince would
have something to track her by. - Cinderella may have
wanted to lose the shoe herself as a way for the prince to find her.
These are my guesses.
