When you enroll your child in dance lessons, the studio or instructor may have requirements for which type of children’s tap shoes to buy. But some dance instructors fail to give any guidance for buying children’s tap shoes and leave the decision making completely up to the parent. With children’s tap shoes, it is important to buy a pair of quality tap shoes that will handle rough use but feel comfortable for tap dancers. These children’s tap shoes are the most reliable and price worthy brands, available both online and in most dance apparel stores.

Dance Now Children’s Tap Shoes are great because they offer maximum sound for tiny children’s tap shoes! They can withstand a lot of wear and tear because they are sturdily built. The taps are riveted to the tap shoes and there is a non-slip balance behind the front taps which will help young tap dancers keep their balance. Despite their sturdy build, these children’s tap shoes are comfortable, thanks to the padded insoles and inside lining.
“Premiere” Capezio Tap Shoes
This line of Capezio tap shoes is very economical, at $16.00 per pair. The tap shoe shank is strong and lends itself well to supporting the foot. The reinforced toe makes this a good choice for tap dancers who are learning toe stands. These children’s tap shoes are great for both girl and boy tap dancers.
Another great line of Capezio tap shoes! The Mary Jane style of Capezio tap shoes is adorable for preschool age tap dancers.

These children’s tap shoes are developed with heavy use in mind. The upper portion relieves pressure on the Achilles Tendon often caused by other brands of children’s tap shoes. The leather stacked heel and riveted taps offer the loudest and best quality of tapping sound.
Bloch Tap Shoes -Child “Tap-On”
Another high quality line of Bloch tap shoes offers children’s tap shoes in both tan and black. While the quality of the tap shoe is great, and the style is very sleek, I would not recommend these children’s tap shoes for tap dancers with wide feet-they come in medium width only, and tap dancers with even slightly wide feet will find that their feet rub on the insoles of the tap shoes and get blisters.
