STRAIGHT EDGED PUMPS

1) Metallic: There are only two sets of straight-edged metallic pumps that I know of, so they are easy to identify.
Chrome Pink (Insides are silver, pink coating can vary from light pink to nearly red.)
Came with the following doll
Original Jem/Jerrica only
  • If you find these with sort of "crusty" finish, they may be Mexican.
    		•
    Gold
    Came with the following doll
    Only The Beginning only

    2) Opaque

    If your shoes have two little holes in the soles of the shoe, they are knock-off Jem shoes, most likely belonging to Jewel by Totsy.
    If your shoes are sort of metallic grey, gold or are pearly, they are also knock-off Jem shoes, most likely from Sears. 
    If your shoes have a star stamped on them, then they are from Creata Rock Star fashions.
    Pale pink to pale lavender (can vary quite a lot)
    Came with the following doll

    		•
    Raspberry Pink (much brighter and pinker than it looks in the scan, a bit more orangey in tone); Extremely minute colour variations between these shoes, and those from Come On In, and Award Night.  They are essentially the same colour and each slight variation seems to occur regularly among the outfits, among US and non-US distributed fashions.  Just for curiosity's sake, they are all shown here side by side so you can see how similar they are in person.  Scans are all from Rhonda Robinson.

    Permanent Wave only
  • Scan courtesy of Rhonda Robinson
  • There are apparently variations among the two years, thanks to Liz here are some nitpicky details:

    • 1st year: Orange sherbet color; slightly translucent/fluorescent & thick sided; 
    2nd year: Bright "crayon" orange, Opaque & Thin-sided
  • 1st PW is still darker and more translucent/fluorescent than Up & Rockin', but clearly lighter and less opaque than 2nd PW. It Takes A Lot and 2nd PW are pretty close in color and intensity.  Lightning Strikes is darker still than 2nd PW.

    Pure yellow
    3. First Edition Roxy only

    There are two different outfits with similarly coloured shoes,

    1: Running like the Wind
    2: There Ain't Nobody Better

    Looks like I've been wrong about these shoes for awhile-- Tommy, Thumper and Annessa have agreed that the thinner-edged, lighter shoes (#1 in the photo) are for Running Like the Wind, and the thicker sided/darker shoes (#2) are for There Ain't Nobody Better.  Thanks guys!
    White
    Came with the following fashion;
    Music Is Magic only
  • The only white shoes in Jem's size.
    		•
    Gunmetal Grey
    Shoes have an iridescent lavender sheen. 
    1. Pizzazz, 2nd edition
    Thinner sides. Light will shine through them if held up to a light source. Shinier. 
    2. Pizzazz, 1st edition
    Thicker and paler grey, the irredecent sheen shows more on these shoes.
