These shoes are made for tapping! Ready to go straight out of the box, they have the rubbers and taps already attached. Smooth artificial leather upper with cushioned lining throughout. Thicker ankle strap lays flat across the top of the foot and goes through the buckle that is secured with an elastic. Durable leather sole with attached rubber pads to prevent slipping. 1.25" Cuban heel for the perfect balance of height and stability. Screwed on high-quality taps with metal soundboards.
