In The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the Woodman tells Dorothy not to worry because she has something that will protect her: the Silver Shoes. These Silver Shoes have magical powers and play a significant role in Dorothy's journey throughout the story. The Silver Shoes help her in various situations, including her quest to return to her home in Kansas. The shoes are made of pure silver and have the ability to transport the wearer to different places by simply clicking the heels together three times and saying the magical phrase, "There's no place like home."
