Frequently Asked Questions
How should the Só Dança TA68 tap shoe fit?
The TA68 is designed for medium-width feet and fits true to size for most adult dancers. Women are generally advised to size up half to one full size from their standard street shoe size. The cushioned lining provides a snug but comfortable feel that holds the foot securely during performance.
What type of taps come on the Só Dança TA68?
The TA68 features high-quality screwed-on taps at both the heel and toe. Screwed-on taps are more secure and durable than nail-on alternatives, producing a crisp, resonant sound preferred by intermediate and professional tap dancers. The taps can be replaced by a cobbler when they wear down.
Is the TA68 suitable for beginner tap dancers?
The TA68 is best suited for intermediate to professional adult tap dancers. Its split sole, professional-grade screwed-on taps, and durable leather phoenix upper are features designed for dancers who have moved beyond beginner-level footwear and need reliable performance in class or on stage.
How do I care for the leather phoenix upper on the TA68?
The textured leather phoenix upper should be wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth after each use and allowed to air dry away from direct heat. A leather conditioner applied periodically will help maintain the material's flexibility and appearance. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place to prevent cracking or warping.
What does the split sole design offer in the TA68?
The split sole on the TA68 allows the foot to bend naturally through the arch, providing greater flexibility and articulation during tap combinations. This design is preferred by experienced dancers who need full range of motion and want to feel the floor more directly than a full-sole construction allows.
Are the rubber toe pads on the TA68 replaceable?
The rubber toe pads on the TA68 are attached at the metatarsals to reduce slipping and add grip during performance. They are not designed as consumer-replaceable parts, but a professional cobbler can assess and replace them if they wear down over time. The riveted lace holes are built for longevity to support the shoe's overall durability.
