These tap shoes are great!  I hate that my daughter can never stay in one size for a whole season, but I found these on Amazon last year and this is my second pair I purchased.  I use to buy them from a chain store for like 30.00 and they were so cheap and had no padding.  When my daughter first tried these she was like "oh my, they are so soft"  They also have a great elastic band where the ribbon is that helps keep them on, the ribbons then are just for show and not needed.  My daughter had a costume last year that had bows that went on the shoes and it worked great to clip them to the elastic and she didn't eve need the ribbons. (Great if she can't tie shoes yet too! Just remove the ribbons)  Awesome Deal!!!
