You can be sure that our jig shoes can stand up to whatever you throw at them. After all, they are made by the Rutherford Irish dance shoe company as mentioned before. The Rutherford company has been in business since the late 1970s. John Rutherford founded the company and at the start, it was a one-man team. A native to Cootehille, Co. Caven, located in Northern Ireland, he was a father of five children who were all involved with competitive Irish dance. During his children’s competitions, he noticed that the sound quality of the heels and tips of dance shoes needed major improvement.
At the time hard shoes were made of plastic and a thin layer of fiberglass. So taking this knowledge he began to experiment. He started by making heels completely out of fiberglass, foregoing the classic plastic. For the tips he changed them to be made out of his special mixture of fiberglass. Suddenly his kids had the best sounding jig shoes on the market and people took notice in the feis scene. After a surplus of people came to get their heels and tips replaced he took the next logical step, sell his own jig shoes.
Throughout the years he’s kept the same drive to improve Irish jig shoes. He continues to launch new technology that changes the game in the Irish dance community. If you buy Rutherford jig shoes you can be sure that you have the latest and greatest in dance shoe technology.
