How to Lace Irish Dance Pumps

Irish dance pumps can be laced in different ways depending on the style of shoe. Some pumps use a traditional lacing system, while others feature arch eyelets designed to help create a more defined arch profile.

Correct lacing is important for both comfort and appearance. Pumps that are laced incorrectly may feel loose, uncomfortable or fail to provide the desired fit around the foot and ankle.

The videos below demonstrate the correct lacing method for different styles of Irish dance pumps. If you are unsure which method applies to your shoes, please contact us and we'll be happy to help.
