From the stills (which usually don't give an accurate depiction of what occurred) it appears that Missus Clinton continued on after having stepped out of her shoe.
Why wouldn't she have stopped, backed up, and put it back on? Also, why didn't Sarkozy exercise his chivalry and do this for her?

Aside: Anyone making fun of Sarkozy's height need only look at Mrs Sarkozy - then, if you're a female, look in a mirror, if a male, look at your wife or girlfriend.

C'est la vie :^)

In re: President Sarkozy’s height: My husband is barely 5’6”, I am taller than him, and I would have to say the old adage is true, good things do come in small packages!
