| Popular amongst advanced male dancers
for some time, as the split sole allows dancers to demonstrate a clear point and offers greater flexibilty. The split sole is not recommended for very young dancers or beginners who are advised to consider the traditional boys reel shoe as it offers greater levels of support.
This shoe has been adapted for Irish dancing and as such has not been designed with Irish dancing in mind. Consequently the leather upper is extremely soft and susceptible to tearing if heel are clicked incorrectly.
We would strictly recommend these shoes are only worn by experienced dancers to reduce the chances of heel tear!

If you are unsure of the shoe size you can send us a foot tracing by letter post. Make sure the dancer is standing on a hard surface, and trace closely to the foot as possible. It's also possible to consult your Dance Teacher for help in picking the correct size too. This Conversion Chart is intended to be used as a guide to help you. Sizes are an estimate on what UK(!)-Size to order. No guarantees can be made. Irish Dance Shoes are made of leather and are likely to stretch. |
