Bloch Women's Jason Samuels Smith Dance Shoe

Product Information

Capezio tap shoes are some of the most recommended for tappers with wide feet. Even though these are made with leather as well as others, the designers have a way they make these Capezio shoes stretch a bit to sit perfectly, even for tappers with wide feet. Another important characteristic – although dependent on preferences – is the weight and flexibility of the tap shoes you use for tapping. Depending on how much sound you wish to make, toe and heel plates are very important and can determine the volume of sound you make while tapping. Some tappers do not like tap shoes with toe and heel plates – but that doesn’t change the fact that they play an essential role and are highly recommended for professional tappers. Today, Jason continues to tour the world, performing with his company A.C.G.I. (Anybody Can Get It), India Jazz Suites, Dormeshia’s And Still You Must Swing, Chasin’ the Bird and many others. The shoes were too small although My daughter wears a 6youth so i got a 7 1/2 winner abs they were still too small Fit: Runs very small Comfort: Durability:

When trying on and testing out our tap shoes we highly recommend trying them on carpet to prevent the taps being scratched in case the shoes need to be returned. Shoes returned with scratched taps will not be accepted. I have bunions also, which is a huge concern for me with tap shoes. The front of the shoe is sometimes narrow for a snug fit (for obvious reasons) but for those of us with bunions, the pain can be unbearable. With the JSams wider style, padded ankle area, cushioned insole and lower heel, it's a perfect combo for me. Miller and Ben tap shoe manufacturing brand is the most recommended, alongside Bloch and Capezio. The thing about selecting a brand all depends on your personal experience with the brand’s products. This is my daughter’s second pair of these shoes. She loves that there really isn’t any “breaking in” and she’s never gotten blisters. Her teacher likes the louder sound the taps provide. We will continue purchasing, for sure. Most recently, Jason performed as a special guest with Lalah Hathaway, appeared in an internationally televised documentaries on Fred Astaire, and Award-winning Tap World (Executive Consultant); and was featured in RED magazine (UK).Cons – these don’t come with a reinforced toe box. Therefore, you do not get toe protection. Capezio I bought these for my daughter in December. She loves the sounds they make and says they are very comfortable. I like the durability of the leather sole. Would not recommend for an inexperienced dancer or a child whose foot is still growing. Additionally, the culture-rich environment of his father’s dance studio, Jo Jo’s Dance Factory (later known as Broadway Dance Center), was foundational for his future. Heavy tap shoes make the most noise. In other words, more sound. The weight of your shoes also determines how you move and what kind of steps you repeat repeatedly. Heavy tap shoes are alright and good to go for someone dedicated to tapping, no matter the steps.

They are designed to offer a casual expression even though they are tap shoes. Not tapping in a tap shoe with arch support is a significant risk with all the pressure poured down on your feet. The Bloch and Capezio tap shoes offer good and recommendable arch support.
