Once he grows out of those shoes or advances out of the Beginner/AB level you should consider boy reel shoes (any feis vendor could help with those). My son now loves banging and clicking with the heels on his reel shoes, but your sons are better starting without them to learn basic dance technique (plus it's less of a distraction in class!).

It also gives them something to work toward - I treated the reel shoes with a heel as an incentive for my son to work hard and "level-up" to get them. He earned them and was a better dancer for it as he had the technique down before getting his reel shoes.

Good luck! Love to see more boys participating. :)

[> Agree with Ballera (formerly TrepArt) in Brookfield with the black jazz shoes with no heel. Later on past beginner they get heels added but start with the black jazz shoes. -- Mom of former male dancers in Milwaukee, 20:57:40 10/11/21 Mon (cpe-70-92-165-145.wi.res.rr.com/70.92.165.145)
