Thanks to all our customers who have provided feedback on our custom made Tai Chi shoes over the past couple of years. We have had many compliments (especially from people with hard to fit feet), and have also received constructive comments which help us meet customer needs such as improving the glue, laces, introducing the plain sole for long, wide feet.

We have worked with our shoemaker and are able to offer a variation to our standard Tai Chi shoes which is now also available with a velcro closure as well as the popular single lace.  

These Tai Chi shoes are perfect for competition, demonstration or the daily practice of Tai Chi.  The shoes are equally appropriate as Kung Fu shoes or, more generally, as martial arts shoes. The Tai chi shoes have a leather upper, a synthetic sole with a pivot point on the ball of the foot - thus facilitating the practice of tai chi or kung fu.  The sole is relatively thin which ensures good contact between the feet and the floor when wearing your Tai Chi shoes for practice.  The lining of these tai chi shoes is semi-absorbent and has an inbuilt arch support thus your feet are well supported when wearing our tai chi shoes which are also the same for kung fu shoes.

We have also introduced a simple cotton slipper. Once again they are custom made to measure so we cannot compete with some of the very cheap shoes available, however we have kept the price as low as possible. It is a very simple slip on style with a cotton upper and corrugated synthetic sole. 

TO PLACE YOUR ORDER FOR CUSTOM MADE TAI CHI SHOES AND KUNG FU SHOES, PLEASE FOLLOW THESE 3 STEPS:-

STEP 1 - Take your measurements

Length - Stand with your weight evenly balanced with your sock or stocking on, draw around both your feet on a piece of paper or 2 pieces of paper. Use a thin pen or pencil and keep it at 90 degrees to the paper as you draw around each foot. Mark the longest point and measure the length.

Width - Stand with your weight evenly balanced with your sock or stocking on. Using a tape measure (or piece of string), measure all the way around the widest part of your foot forming a circle, where the toes join the foot (at the bunion). 

Height - Stand with your weight evenly balanced with your sock or stocking on. Using the tape measure (or piece of string), place it all the way around the foot ie around the arch to where you do up your laces. The tape measure should go around the sole of the foot at the arch to the top of the foot at the highest point in the same way you did the width.

Please measure to the nearest mm or fraction of an inch to achieve a good fit.
