No. Dorothy's shoes were silver in the book and ruby red in the movie.
The Ruby Slippers were worn first by the Wicked Witch of the East and then by Dorothy Gale, in the 1939 film version of The Wizard of Oz. In the original book, and in the 1902/1903 stage version, by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919], the shoes are Silver Slippers. But those involved in the making of the film found the silver to wash out in comparison to the riotous colors in their Technicolor production. And so red was the color of choice.
Dorothy's slippers in "The Wizard of Oz" are famously ruby red in the 1939 film adaptation. However, in L. Frank Baum's original book, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz," they are described as silver. The change to ruby red was made for the film to take advantage of Technicolor, creating a striking visual element in contrast to the black-and-white scenes at the beginning.
In "The Wizard of Oz," Glinda the Good Witch gives Dorothy the magical red shoes after the Wicked Witch of the East is killed by Dorothy's house landing on her.
Dorothy ends up in the magical land of Oz after her house is swept away by the cyclone. She lands in Munchkin Country, where she embarks on her journey to the Emerald City to seek help from the Wizard of Oz.

Dr Oz has not mentioned where he gets his mule shoes that he wears on his television show. You can visit your local shoe store and see if they can help you in ordering the shoes.
In the book, Dorothy's shoes are silver. The movie changed them to ruby red to show up more vibrantly in Technicolor. Also, the book assigns blue to Munchkinland, yellow to Winkie country (the land in the west of Oz), and red to Quadling country (the land in the south of Oz). These color schemes are not represented in the movie.
