How to fit irish dancing shoes

Ensuring your jig shoes fit perfectly is crucial for optimal performance and comfort. Here are some tips to help you find the right fit and break in your new Irish dancing shoes:
1. Snug Fit: Jig shoes should fit snugly but not too tight. Your toes should have enough room to wiggle slightly, and your heel should stay in place without slipping. A snug fit ensures better control and support during dancing.
2. Poodle Socks: Wear the same type of socks you plan to use during dancing when trying on your jig shoes. This helps in getting an accurate fit.
3. Lace Up Properly: Ensure that you lace up your jig shoes tightly and evenly. This provides better support and keeps your feet secure within the shoes.

Breaking In Your Jig Shoes:
1. Wear Them Around the House: Before hitting the dance floor, wear your new jig shoes around the house. This helps the leather and suede sole to mold to the shape of your feet.
2. Short Practice Sessions: Start with short practice sessions to gradually break in the shoes. Avoid wearing them for extended periods initially to prevent discomfort or blisters.
3. Flex the Soles: Gently flex the soles of your shoes by hand to soften them up. This makes it easier to perform intricate steps and movements.
