🔬 We're doing something we've never done before.
For 40 years, we've designed and manufactured Irish dance shoes — developing products we believe in, for dancers we care about. We speak to dancers, we listen to dancers, and their feedback shapes everything we do. But we've never conducted a study of this scale. In fact, nobody in Irish dance ever has.
Until now.
The Big Jig Shoe Study is the most comprehensive research project ever conducted on jig shoes — and we need your help.

What we're asking
The study covers eight sections — from your current shoes and buying history through to what you'd build if you could design the perfect pair from scratch.
Who should take part?
If you've ever worn a jig shoe, we want to hear from you. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or an Open Champion — every perspective improves the data.
- ✓Dancers — at any level, any age. Your direct experience on stage is the most valuable data we can collect.
- ✓Parents — the people who research, buy and pay for the shoes. Your view on value, fit and durability is critical.
- ✓Teachers — you influence more buying decisions than anyone else. Your expertise shapes a generation of shoe choices.
