Oh the vagaries of reconciling such similar languages! maypanic did a splendid job at explaining, I was going with the prompt and I think of Dorothy's shoes, despite having a heel, as ruby slippers. I did go back and nix the pumps though and tried to do something about the 'slipper' thing so thanks for the heads up!
If anything, I learned something new!
Though, maybe the shoes just morph. *nods* Yuppers. Magic Ruby [insert choice footwear here]. Rose was just undecided as what to wear. She thought trainers because she knew she'd have to run as soon as she met up with the Doctor but as soon as he opened his mouth she needed something suitably pointy and limb-threatening to toss. *nods*
Thank you for pointing that out! And I hope it was cleared up, if only a little.
