Helpful advice when choosing a Tap shoe:

 

• There are many styles of tap shoes but beginners should choose a low heel height, preferably with a buckle.

• A new tap shoe must be snug, but comfortable. If it is too lose the tapper will not be able to make clear sounds or have precise footwork. If a poor fit it may also cause personal injury.

• Always wear socks whilst wearing tap shoes - these will help cushion and protect your feet.

• Keep your screws tight.

 

IMPORTANT! Always check your tap shoes are suitable with your teacher before you wear them.
