BankruptMum Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Can anyone offer any help with regards to tap shoes - my daughter is looking for something beyond the regular bloch audeo shoes she currently wears . Her feet have stopped growing and I am happy to invest in something which will last her a while. Her teacher has recommended Miller and Ben shoes and these are a good option but they are very rigid and whilst good for paddles and similar steps they arent a good all-round shoe. I have looked at the So Danca professional shoe and this looks similar in constrution. Does anyone have any experience they can throw my way - seems to be sooo much information on pointe shoes but nothing for the tappers! Many thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariejen7 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Bloch split sole tap shoes or Capezzio split sole tap shoes. My son and daughter have both danced at All England Dance finals wearing these types of tap shoes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BankruptMum Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Tap shoes are an instrument - its like purchasing a standard violin and then purchasing something which has been constructed to suit your style/requirements. There are a lot of good tap shoes on the market and a few which are marketed in a completely different price bracket - just wondered if anyone had any experience?

Fiz Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I like the look of adult tap shoes that look like normal shoes, but they weren't allowed at my DDs school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swe Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Youngest dd not a ballerina but a fab tapper and we have tried several types-she loves Capezio split soles (think they are around £40) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathyG Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 My tapping DD currently wears Bloch split soles. But she has found they have stretched so she wishes she had brought half a size smaller. She also said she had to loosen the taps quite a bit to get a good sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
