Irish hard jig dance shoes, also known as “hard shoes” or “jig shoes,” are specialized footwear designed for traditional Irish step dancing. Here are some key features:
- Sturdy Construction: Made with durable leather or synthetic materials to withstand the rigorous movements and impact of dancing.
- Reinforced Toe and Heel: Hard shoes have reinforced areas in the toe and heel to create the distinctive percussive sounds. These areas are often made of a hard material like plastic or metal.
- Taps: The shoes feature metal taps (usually on the toe and heel) that create the signature clicking sounds during dances. These taps are securely attached to ensure they don’t come loose.
- Flexibility and Support: While sturdy, the shoes are designed to offer a good balance of flexibility and support, allowing dancers to move fluidly while providing the necessary support for high-impact steps .
