I haven't had a pair of tap shoes in a very long time and I am so happy with these that I am dancing through my days.

The quality is first-rate and is apparent in every stitch of these shoes.  The factory-attached taps are just fine, although a professional might prefer a different set.

The sizing said "true to street shoe" and that is almost correct.  Mine seem to be just a little smaller than street shoe size--I wear a 8.5 Medium or a 8 Wide, and these 8 Wide are just a little too tight in my larger foot (smaller foot is fine).  I know the leather is going to stretch and, so far, the too-tightness hasn't been a serious handicap, but you might want to keep this in mind.

I love these shoes and wouldn't hesitate to buy another pair.  In fact, I AM going to eventually buy a beige pair so that I can have them dyed to a flashy turquoise just for fun!
