where to buy tap dance shoes in Vancouver?

butterflybabe_300 · 11-09-2006, 10:51 PM

Hi, I am going to Vancouver this weekend (I live in Victoria and don't go to Van often) and I should have thought of this earlier but I forgot.
I am looking to buy some tap shoes for my guy friend as a present... but he has HUGE feet. He is a size 14 street shoe. There is really only one dance shoe store in Victoria and they don't sell that big shoes.
I was wondering if anyone knows good dance stores in Vancouver that have a lot of shoes that may have some large sizes of tap shoes.
I don't want to order online in case it doesn't fit him and then it is a big hassle to return them.
If anyone could help me out, that would be great.
Thanks so much!

There's a dance shop on West Broadway. Acutally...it may even be called "The Dance Shop!"

Try Limbers at Kerrisdale.

Hmm. I may try calling some of the stores since most tap shoes come in largest size 14... and i'd need size 15 or 16 for my friend (for men you go 1-2 sizes up) so hmm, I don't know if regular stores have those big shoes and wouldn't want to drive all the way out there for them not to have any
