Straight Lasted Childrens Shoes Before and After

These shoes were slippery.

We installed soleguard material to help with traction.
It's been awhile since we've worked on leather soled children's shoes.  These shoes were getting to slippery, so we installed soleguards to give more traction. These are straight lasted shoes.  You may ask what is a straight last? From about.com  Definition: "The shape of the shoe. A straight last shoe is symmetrical relative to a line drawn on the bottom of the shoe from the middle of the heel to the middle of the toe. It is best for neutral walkers who do not overpronate."  In other words, looking at the shoes you can't tell if they are left or right, they are straight lasted."
Shoes during the Civil War Era were straight lasted.  You could wear either shoe on either foot.

Steven Stompers For Clogging

We installed Steven Stompers on this pair of clogging shoes.
     We carry the Steven Stompers for your clogging dance classes.  We also carry the spray dye that many dance classes use to match the color their shoes to match their costumes.  Many people don't realize that often you can transfer Stompers.  Children grow fast and sometimes go through a couple sizes of shoes in one season.  Transfering Stompers can save you money! 
      I tell all my dancers that "If you are really good, you may dance the nails loose.  If that happens, we will always take care of that at no charge".
