CELTIC ARCH JIG SHOES
Celtic Arch is engineered to support the dancer’s natural alignment, absorbing impact while enhancing posture and balance. Its structured spine and metatarsal support board work in harmony to reduce joint stress, improve shock distribution, and help prevent overuse injuries common in Irish dance
From its innovative arch structure to its shock-absorbing heel and metatarsal support, Celtic Arch is designed to work with the dancer’s body — improving posture, enhancing control, and reducing the risk of overuse injuries.
FITTING
Celtic Arch only come in standard width at the minute. They will NOT stretch in length but they will stretch in width eg across the toe box, easily.
Our Shoes DO NOT STRETCH IN LENGTH! – measure your feet and check the online chart (at sizing) 99% fit perfect 1st time… Anywhere leather will soften but they do not stretch in length.
METATARSAL SUPPORT BOARD – prevents over roll of the ankle when landing – keeping the small metatarsal bones behinds the toes protected and supported
HEEL SUPPORT – board under the heel bone creates structure for the foot, and a compressed support when up on toe pointe
ARCH SPINE and STAR SHAPE – Creates the combined structure of compressed support when up on pointe, also allows the shoe to bend in the proper place to point toe with definition without stretching the sole This is the magic that prevents the shoe stretching in length – it expands and contacts with the foot.
SHOCK ABSORPTION – thick layer of shock absorption take the stress out of the hips, knees and ankles when landing – cushions the landing and delays fatigue allowing the dancer to dance for longer periods of time.
