Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes does the Só Dança Temple TA44L come in?
The Temple TA44L is available in adult sizes 5.0 through 13.0, offered in both Medium and Wide widths, making it one of the more size-inclusive tap shoes in the Só Dança lineup.
Does the Temple TA44L run true to size?
The Temple TA44L generally fits true to size. Dancers with wider feet should select the Wide width option for the most comfortable fit. If you are between sizes, sizing up by a half size is recommended.
What type of taps are included on the Temple TA44L?
The Temple TA44L comes with screwed-on, high-quality taps fitted with metal sound boards. Screwed-on taps are more secure and durable than nailed taps, and they can be replaced or adjusted by a cobbler when needed.
Is the Temple TA44L suitable for both class and stage performance?
Yes. The Temple TA44L is designed for studio training and stage performance. The leather sole with attached rubber pads provides traction on most studio and stage floors, while the metal sound board taps produce a clear, resonant tap sound appropriate for recitals and performances.
How should I care for the Temple TA44L tap shoe?
Wipe the artificial leather upper clean with a damp cloth after each use and allow the shoes to air dry fully before storing. Avoid submerging the shoe in water or exposing it to prolonged moisture, as this can affect the leather sole and tap hardware.
Is there a child version of the Temple TA44L available from Só Dança?
Yes. Só Dança offers the Zelda TA44S, which is the child-sized version of this tap shoe. The adult Temple TA44L is sized for teens and adults, while the Zelda TA44S is sized for younger dancers.
