| As seen in Irish Dancing Magazine, Corr's
Irish Shoes™ is thrilled to officially introduce its brand new soft shoe,
the Corr's Wild Irish™ Ghillie, to its many eager customers. A split-sole
design, the Wild Irish is not intended to replace the Corr's Champion™
Split-Sole Ghillie, but is instead an alternative to that more traditional
design – with the many different foot types usually suiting one style or the
other.
Like the Champion, the Wild Irish has been designed to
emphasize the dancer's arch in every way, but has a modern design that does
away with a center-seam over the toes. Unlike other soft shoes of similar
modern design, the Wild Irish has been constructed to allow for a secure fit
over the dancer's heel without bagging or puckering due to excess leather –
a fit that is smooth and clean, resulting in a beautifully enhanced point.
With the introduction of the Wild Irish ghillie, Corr's is
also introducing a new, improved and more advanced padding in its soft shoes
– EVA. Deceptively thinner, Corr's EVA padding (that is combined with a
reinforced lining that wicks away moisture – aiding in blister prevention –
and, as with all of our soft shoes, an additional layer of neoprene padding
in the ball of the foot area) has many advantages over the commonly used
Poron padding in that it provides the same or better shock absorption, but
takes up less space within the shoe, provides better grip/traction, and does
not crack or split. In addition, Corr's uses it's finest Champion™ leather
on the Wild Irish, which offers a remarkable balance of suppleness and
durability.
