Watch the final Wicked: For Good trailer

At the start of the first Wicked film, Glinda famously made fun of Elphaba's clothes and even tried to make a mockery of her by giving her a black hat to wear to the Ozdust Ballroom. However, when Glinda saw people were laughing at Elphaba, she danced with her and the two characters struck up a powerful friendship.

In the final Wicked: For Good trailer, we see that Elphaba and Glinda are at odds. However, there are glimpses of the two characters sharing emotional moments together. Most notably, fans have spotted that Glinda appears to take Elphaba's boots that she once mocked and wears them herself.

On top of that, fans think that Glinda takes the boots to wear to warn Elphaba about the munchkins marching to Kiamo to kill her. We see someone riding to Kiamo right after Glinda picks up the boots.

In a viral tweet, a fan wrote: "The concept of glinda deciding to change for good and literally putting herself in elphaba’s shoes".

Another wrote: "When you realize that Glinda kept the boots that Elphaba let her borrow back at shiz..."

In a separate first look Wicked: For Good video, Elphaba and Glinda can be seen holding hands as Glinda wears the boots in what appears to be Elphaba's Kiamo set. With this in mind, it looks like Glinda does indeed ride to Kiamo wearing Elphaba's boots.

Could the boots reflect Glinda's journey as she finally stops caring about appearances and does what's right?
