What size Taps do I need for my tap shoes?

What size Taps do I need for my tap shoes?: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"

Sophie has transcribed the almost mythical, ethereal laws for choosing the right sized taps for tap shoes! Why has this not been done before? Well, probably because, whilst it is an easy thing to do in actuality, it is not an easy thing to explain.

Dancemania has an extensive range of tap shoes, all with pre-fitted taps, but since juniors start with shoes with only a toe tap it becomes necessary to retrospectively fit additional heel taps. Of course, many people wish to upgrade to teletone heel taps and teletone toe taps.

Sophie's blog post provides a helpful taps sizes guide for choosing the right size taps or teletones for your tap shoes. However, this is still very much work in progress and will be updated as and when new shoes and taps come online, but Sophie has made the best first steps at documenting this awkward subject I've yet seen.

I commend this post to you :)
