Amira - TA49

I love the look of the t strap shoes. They are very comfortable as far as tap shoes go, and they look great.

I like the height of the heel- it makes me legs look longer but isn't too high. After a day-ish to break them in, I actually felt these were pretty comfortable taps to stand in during rehearsals. My feet hurt far less than in my normal character shoes after a long day of dancing. However, the heel has begun to separate from the base and the toebox has already cracked. I'm super bummed as the comfort cannot outweigh the fact that they're not made to withstand multiple performances. $100 is too much for a shoe to only last one production!

When these arrived I tried them on to ensure that they fit, no dancing or anything, there were incredible stiff but I figured they just needed some time to break in. I also noticed that the lining of the show did not align properly with the actual inside so at the toes the lining was curliness up into the sides and it's glued down so it camping be easily fixed. I took them to rehearsal for a musical and wore them for a single run through of a 3 minute dance. Not only were they the most uncomfortable tap heels I have ever worn out of the box, and I have broken in a fair few, but after less than 5 minutes of use both shoes were separating at the side seams. I have been looking all over for 2" T strap tap heels so it was so disappointing that these turned out to be so awful.
