When trying on and testing out our tap shoes we highly recommend trying them on carpet to prevent the taps being scratched in case the shoes need to be returned. Shoes returned with scratched taps will not be accepted.

Cleaning: To clean your BLOCH tap shoes, wipe them with a damp cloth to remove any dirt and debris.
Drying: If your shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally. Do not place them near direct heat sources, as this can cause the material to warp or crack.
Storage: Store your tap shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use a shoe bag.
Maintenance: Regularly check the taps and screws to ensure they are securely fastened. Tighten any loose screws to maintain the sound quality.

Ensuring the proper fit for your BLOCH Economy Timestep Tap Shoes is essential for optimal performance, comfort, and longevity. Here’s how these black tap shoes should fit:

1. Snug Fit: Your tap shoes should fit snugly but not too tight. There should be no significant gaps between your foot and the shoe, ensuring that your foot feels supported and secure. This snug fit helps in achieving better control and precision in your movements.

2. Toe Room: While the fit should be snug, ensure there is a small amount of space at the toe. Your toes should not be cramped; they should be able to move slightly without feeling squeezed.

3. Heel Fit: The heel of the shoe should fit securely without slipping when you walk or dance. A proper heel fit is crucial for stability and preventing blisters.

TRYING TAP SHOES ON:
Wear Dance Socks: When trying on your tap shoes, wear the type of dance socks you plan to use during performances to get an accurate fit.
Break-In Period: Keep in mind that tap shoes may have a short break-in period. Initially, they may feel a bit tight but will gradually adapt to the shape of your foot.
