Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes does the Só Dança Tobias TA852V come in?
The Só Dança Tobias TA852V is available in adult sizes 4.0 through 14.0, offered in both Medium and Wide widths, making it one of the most size-inclusive professional tap boots in the Só Dança lineup.
Does the TA852V run true to size?
The Tobias TA852V generally fits true to size. Dancers with wider feet or a preference for extra room should select the Wide width option rather than sizing up, as the structured leather upper will conform to the foot with wear.
What is the difference between the leather double sole and using the included rubber pads?
The TA852V features a full leather double sole as its standard configuration, which delivers a direct, resonant tap-to-floor connection preferred by many professional tappers. The rubber pads are included separately in the box and can be applied over the leather sole to reduce slip on certain stage or studio floors, giving dancers flexibility depending on their performance surface.
Are the taps on the Só Dança TA852V replaceable?
Yes. The taps on the Tobias TA852V are screwed on rather than nailed or glued, which means they can be removed and replaced as they wear down. This is a significant advantage for professional dancers who perform frequently and need long-term use from their footwear.
How should I care for the leather upper on the TA852V?
To maintain the leather upper on the Só Dança Tobias TA852V, wipe the shoe clean after each use with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Apply a leather conditioner periodically to prevent cracking and extend the life of the material. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Is the Tobias TA852V suitable for both beginners and professionals?
The TA852V is designed with professional and serious intermediate tap dancers in mind. Its leather construction, screwed-on taps, double sole, and split sole architecture are features that support advanced technique and frequent performance. Beginner dancers may find this shoe to be an excellent long-term investment as they progress in their training.
