Capezio has announced a new "athletically styled" tap shoe named Tap Dawg. Available in January, 2006, the shoe is similar in style to their existing Fierce tap sneaker but uses the superior 3-screw taps. Any chance these shoes will make sounds on the sides of the shoes? Looks doubtful.
Capezio To Release New Hybrid Tap Shoe
Well I am an avid Tap Sneaker user primarily for comfort when I teach 5 hours in a row. My two biggest problems with the shoe are the heel taps which are not flat and therefor way too quiet and the arch support is a little weak. I am excited at the prospect of the new "Tap Dawg" show having flat heel taps now that they are going to the 3 screw tap.
