Customer Reviews Leo's Giordano® Spectator Tap

Looks great, fits well - I have extremely wide feet, and have trouble finding shoes that fit, in general. I ordered a pair in Wide, 2 sizes larger, as recommended for men. They're a little long, but the width was good. Some heel grips do the job. It's a comfortable shoe, fairly flexible, good heel height. Not great for toe stands, though. Most of all, though, they look fabulous. I'm using this in a show, and the spectator design reads well from a distance.

Looks and sounds great, but no support- This shoe looks fantastic, and does fit pretty well, considering I always need a pretty wide shoe. I noticed, though, that my feet felt tired and sore AFTER an hour of dancing because there is no arch support. I didn't notice much discomfort WHILE dancing, just after. My Bloch slip-ons feel terrific and have good support, but the sound is terrible. So, I'll keep dancing in the Leo shoes, because they're good and loud, and in tap that's what I want, but I wish they felt better. I ordered a 9W, because there was no longer an 8.5W available, and I would say it's true to size, slightly too long for me, as size 9 shoes usually are.

Coolest tap shoe EVER - I love the look, the butter soft leather, the sound...come on, this is the dream tap shoe, isn't it? When you grew up watching Gene Kelly just go...this is what you wanted to look like when you joined him in the next dance! They are so comfortable. Leo's is the way to go for tap, in my opinion. The sound on this shoe is great, as well as the low heel making it much easier to get a fuller sound. Having tapped mostly in character heels before, I am just loving this shoe!

Loosened Quickly - I tapped in these for a few hours and they loosened up and I wish I had went a full size smaller.

I have the 5028 SZ Giordano with Leo Taps, but I can't get a solid sound out of them. My teacher suggested that I get these, but I feel like I'm falling short on tap, especially from the heel.
