Tap shoes for special feet?

My friend has Lymphodema in her left foot. She wants to learn to tap dance (She loves Happy Feet). Is there any way to buy a tap shoe for her foot that can adjust to fit her changing size. Her foot swells and changes often. Her other foot is normal so that complicates things.

Tap shoes for special feet?
Go to a dance shop and explain the problem, perhaps they can contact one of the shoe companies(capezio, bloch, danceco, so-danca, etc) for further assistance. It is important for the shoe to fit securely when tapping, not slipping off the heel. Perhaps she will need to buy several sizes to use as the foot changes size? Maybe one of the companies will help you with this special order.





They make tap sneakers, a bit more expensive that your run of the mill tap shoe, but they lace up so there could be some changing of loosening or tighten it up.





How does she handle wearing normal shoes? You can attach taps to any shoe with a leather sole, have it done professionally for the best result. Perhaps she has a special shoe already that taps can be attached to? Just a thought.
Reply:i would talk to a company that makes tap shoes. maybe theyll make a shoe special for her...


if its too different sizes maybe shell have to buy 2 pairs of tap shoes.
Reply:God bless her;The Lord will heal her foot. Thank the Lord. You will see it with your own eyes.
Reply:tell her to make her own.use a slipper and put the tap on it.
