How are tap shoes made?

Professional Irish tap shoes, the "iron piece" at the bottom is made of FRP. From the cross section, the glass fiber reinforced plastic part is U-shaped, about 3-4 cm thick, which is very different from ordinary tap shoes. Because of the glass fiber reinforced plastic on the side of the shoes, when the body dances, the feet can land at various angles and make a pleasant sound.

There will be a "gap" in the middle of the U-shaped FRP heel. Professional actors will put a microphone in the U-shaped gap, so that the audience can hear the rhythm of different footsteps more clearly, as if the heel is knocking on your ear. But at present, there is no such shoes in China, and the market valuation is difficult to predict.

Beginners can choose this kind of ordinary patent leather tap dancing shoes, the market price is about RMB in 200 yuan, and the styles are strap, lace, patent leather and pigskin.
