Are you searching for the right Irish Dance Shoes? Whether you call them jig shoes, heavy shoes, hard shoes, treble shoes, or even Riverdance shoes, you’ve landed in the perfect spot. We offer an extensive collection of Irish dance shoes from leading brands like Antonio Pacelli, Hullachan, Rutherford, Feis Fayre, and Fays, ensuring quality and performance for every dancer.
From your very first steps to advanced routines, having the right jig shoes is crucial. For beginners, comfort and flexibility are key. The Superflexi and Essential jig shoes are excellent starting points, designed to support new dancers as they learn the fundamentals. Choosing between these often comes down to personal preference, and exploring our detailed guides can provide further clarity for new dancers and parents alike.
For intermediate dancers looking to refine their sound and technique, shoes with black suede soles are highly recommended. The Antonio Pacelli Ultraflexi range provides a variety of options to match different budgets and preferences in tips and heels. From the balanced Leinster tip and heel to the exceptionally loud Liberty tip – Concorde heel combination, intermediate dancers can customize their shoe to their developing style.
Advanced Irish dancers often gravitate towards Ultralite styles. These lighter, more flexible jig shoes, like the Hullachan Ultralites, offer immediate flexibility, allowing for toe stands right out of the box. While Ultralites provide enhanced responsiveness and feel, it’s important to consider their lifespan. They are designed for ultimate performance and may require more frequent replacement compared to Ultraflexi models. A snug fit is ideal, but avoid going too small, as it can damage the heel and compromise the shoe’s integrity.
For dancers prioritizing maximum comfort, the Hullachan Prestige stands out. Engineered with advanced comfort features, including a dual-layer insole for cushioning and shock absorption, and padded ankle and heel collars, the Prestige ensures dancers can perform comfortably for extended periods.
Choosing the correct size is just as important as selecting the right style. We highly recommend using our foot measuring guide video to ensure an accurate measurement. Once you have your measurements, consult the size chart available on each jig shoe product page for our specific sizing recommendations.
