Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Só Dança Titus TA861V different from a standard tap shoe?
The Titus TA861V is a tap boot rather than a standard Oxford-style tap shoe. It features a full leather double sole and a built-up heel, which together provide enhanced sound resonance and greater floor connection than a single-sole tap shoe. The boot silhouette also offers additional ankle coverage and a more formal stage appearance.
Are the taps on the Titus TA861V replaceable?
Yes. The taps on the Só Dança Titus TA861V are screwed on, which means they can be removed and replaced by a cobbler or experienced dancer without damaging the shoe. This extends the overall lifespan of the boot significantly compared to nailed taps.
How should I size the Titus TA861V tap boot?
Só Dança tap shoes are generally sized close to street shoe size. Because the Titus TA861V is a leather boot that molds to the foot with wear, dancers with wider feet should select the Wide width option rather than sizing up. Refer to the Só Dança tap shoe size chart for precise measurements if you are between sizes.
Is the Titus TA861V suitable for both practice and performance?
The Titus TA861V is designed primarily for stage performance and professional use. Its full leather double sole and screwed-on taps deliver excellent acoustic response on stage floors, but the structured construction makes it best suited for performance rather than extended daily rehearsal wear.
How do I care for the leather upper on the Titus TA861V?
Wipe the leather upper with a dry or slightly damp cloth after each use to remove dust and sweat. Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, and store the boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the leather and sole integrity.
What is the difference between the Titus TA861V and the Tarryn TA851V?
The Titus TA861V is a tap boot with a built-up heel and a full leather double sole, designed for professional performance and a high-fashion stage look. The Tarryn TA851V is the standard Oxford-style tap shoe version that shares similar construction quality but without the boot silhouette or built-up heel. Dancers who prefer a lower-profile shoe for rehearsal or a more traditional tap shoe shape should consider the Tarryn TA851V.
