While wearing the Red Shoes, the user's feet start dancing on their own, with the user having no control over them. The user will thus be able to perform great dance moves whilst wearing these shoes, without having to practice the particular moves beforehand. Once wore, the shoes will keep dancing until the user's heart stops, however, their effects can be nullified by the wearer's strong sense of shame.<ref name= "Episode 211">Fairy Tail Anime: Episode 211</ref> |

While wearing the Red Shoes, the user's feet start dancing on their own, with the user having no control over them.

History
Gray confronted Eclipse Cancer in a discotheque-like battlefield and was told by Cancer that they were going to have a dance battle, much to Gray's annoyance. Cancer claimed that refusal to participate would result in death.
Gray tried dancing a bit, but got embarrassed and immediately fell to his hands and knees in shame. Gray lamented that he had no idea how to dance, so Cancer, more interested in the dance competition than an easy victory, conjurered a pair of Red shoes which took the form of boots. Cancer used his claws to shreds the shoes, he then reconstructed them into a pair of slip-on shoes and transfered them to Gray's feet, taking the place of the regular shoes he was already wearing.
Gray was initially confused by the crab mans actions. Cancer explained that they were the legendary Red Shoes that would make the wearer dance until their heart stopped.
The shoes took effect and Gray's feet started to dance on their own, much to Gray's confusion, and later, agony. Gray pleaded for the shoes to be stopped, claiming he would rather die if he could keep his dignity. Gray's shame nullified the effects of the shoes and he fell to his hands and knees in embarrassment once more.
Cancer shot a cut at Grays heart, cutting out his sense of shame. With his shame gone, the other side of Gray was able to freely release his desire to dance.
The new Gray completely surrendered himself to the Red shoes and started to dance professionally.[1]
