I made a quick little video on Clog Shoe vs Tap Shoe. Please let me know if you have any questions! I would be more than happy to help you find your shoes.
Preschool, and 5:40 classes- Black tap shoes will be required (any kind)
All other classes- Clogging shoes are very highly recommended but tap shoes can also be acceptable. (Black or white)
The cheapest way to get clogging shoes in Albuquerque is to purchase tap shoes and clogging taps. Then I can swap the taps for you at my home.
Step 1- Purchase your tap shoes of choice (see below for recommendations)
Step 2- Purchase clogging taps from me ($35) or order them from Amazon or Lebos.com. Clogging taps sizes: Small for young children shoe size smaller than 11, Medium for children and women, Large for men shoe sizes.
Alternatively, I believe you can purchase clogging shoes with clogging taps already installed from stevenstompers.biz (kids and adult sizes). I've been told that the shoes are very narrow so you should order a size or two up from this website.
Preschool classes
Sizes 6 Toddler - 12 Little Kid
Good style choice for preschoolers for them to put their shoes on by themselves. Any brand is fine.
Sizes 5.5 Toddler - 13.5 Little Kid
Classic style and also a good choice for the preschool class. Any brand is fine.
Older classes
Sizes: 8.5 toddler- 2 Kid
or 2.5-6 (here)
Capezio is a well known dance brand.
These taps can be taken off and replaced with nail on clogging taps
Sizes: 4-12
This is the shoe I have. I love them for the comfort and durability. The split sole allows for the capability to do advanced steps.
These taps can be easily removed and replaced with clogging taps
These can also be found used on websites like Ebay or Poshmark
