Which Soft Shoe Would Be The Best For Me?

Antonio Pacelli Looped Pump

Appropriate to Beginners, Amateurs and Children

• Antonio Pacelli Looped Pumps
• Bonye Walk Regular Brigaduns

If you have absolutely no experiences from other dances or footwork intensive sports you should consider that beginners, amateurs and children should always decide for a jig shoe with a thicker and stable leathersole because of a weak musculature, ligaments and tendons at the first time.

Appropriate to Championship dancers and Show dancers

This Irish pump has a seamless toe which reduces friction and irritation around the toe area, a preshaped arch to reduce arch fatigue and a contoured heel which is shaped to support and hug the heel so the pump feel secure during movement.

For choosing an order size it's important to know your common street shoe size an how long or often you are dancing. You will find a general sizing recommendation in each item description of a dance shoe. When ordering a dance shoe we are also asking for additional data to verify the order size. We will automatically recommend another size if necessary.

When ordering Irish dance shoes by the help of our comfortable online-shop we always ask for important "shoe and foot data" in advance to verify (or identify) the right order size. This will help to reduce misdeliveries and disappointments. So please always fill out all form fields, thank you.

Please note that Irish soft shoes should always fit narrow and tight. They will become wider and a little bit larger after a while depending on your grade! The sizes of soft shoe models are not comparible among each other. E.g. When wearing a Pacelli Loopes Pump in size 5 a Fays Celtic Choice in size 5 does not match!

You will always find exact sizing details in our item descritptions.

I need a better cushioning!

Just take the Fays Black Suede / Platinum Pump which has the best cushioning that we have ever seen!

Left and right soft shoes?

Only some Boyne Walk soft shoes have an arch support area which is to find on the insole. This area is the inside of a foot (e.g. if printed on the right side this will be a left shoe and vice versa). Other Irish soft shoes usually do not differ in a left and right shoe from production. But we always recommend to tag one of the shoes to make sure that you'll always take on the same shoe to the same foot. This will help not to wear them out and will increase the soft shoes live because the most pairs of foot have different lengths and shapes.
