Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes does the Só Dança Val TA35 child tap shoe come in?
The Só Dança Val TA35 is available in toddler sizes 5.0 through 9.5 and child sizes 10.0 through 3.5, covering a wide range for young dancers from their earliest classes through their early school years.
What widths are available for the Val TA35?
The Val TA35 is offered in four widths: Narrow, Medium, Wide, and X-Wide. This makes it one of the most inclusive tap shoes for children in the Só Dança lineup, accommodating narrow feet as well as wider foot shapes that are common in toddlers.
How does the Val TA35 stay securely on a young dancer's foot?
The Val TA35 includes both a ribbon tie and an elastic snap strap, giving parents and teachers two options for securing the shoe. The ribbon tie allows for a traditional look and adjustable tightness, while the elastic snap strap offers a quick, consistent fit that holds during active movement in class or on stage.
Are the taps on the Val TA35 replaceable, and will they loosen over time?
The Val TA35 features riveted aluminum taps, which are secured with rivets rather than screws alone. This construction makes them significantly more resistant to loosening during regular use. The taps can be replaced by a professional cobbler or dancewear repair service when worn down.
How should I clean and care for the Val TA35?
The upper is made from vegan leather, which can be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoe in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the material and affect the sole. Allow the shoes to air dry fully between uses to preserve the shape and lining.
How does the Val TA35 compare to other Só Dança children's tap shoes?
The Val TA35 is a classic, entry-level tap shoe designed specifically for toddlers and children. It prioritizes comfort, fit flexibility, and sound quality through its cushioned lining, multi-width sizing, and riveted aluminum taps. It is a strong choice for beginners in a studio setting and for first-time recital performances, offering more width options than many comparable shoes in its category.
