Everyone has the right to DANCE!
Hello Kateryna – I think you name is Kateryna, right?
Well, first of all my english is awful, I hope you can understand at least 50%.
Another thing that I’d like to say is that you webpage is reeeeally awesome. I saw it for the first time in my life and I really loved it.
Well, kateryna, I got my hard shoes and I am learning Irish Dancing by my own, with some instructional video. My hard shoes are a bit different – I think- it has the resole, you know…the part which we step so hard, I mean they’re not flexible as I saw in a video on youtube. Are they wrong??
here is the link which you can see a photo of it:

Is that any chance about it get much more flexible or do I have to buy new kind of Irish Hard Shoes?
Can you help me ?? I would be so thankfully for the rest of my life.
Once again congratulation for the website. It is amazing.
Respectfully.
Pedro Ivo
P.S. I forgot to tell you, my name is Pedro and I am from Brazil. Here has no irish dancing school or any professor, that’s why I did buy my shoes on internet.
Hugs!!!
Dear Pedro, congratulations! And thank you for your nice words.
You have to work, i.e. dance, hard to make them soft. That is the point.
As far as I know, both soft shoes and hard shoes are HARD to try on, like Cinderella.
BUT: you can also leave them folded (with some rubber around it) over night, so that they become more flexible, so you can make a perfect toe in them.
Hope it helped
Love
Kateryna
