Traditionally Made

At Thistle Shoes, we take pride in our Highland dance pumps — a tradition rooted in our origins in Fife, Scotland, and one we continue to uphold with the same dedication today.

Straight Last

The Loch Lomond Scottish highland dance pump are lasted on a straight last to enhance balance and stability which helps reduce pressure points.

Front Seam no Loop

The Loch Lomond Scottish highland dance pumps are made from two piece of leather with a central seam. This design gives a slimmer fit to the toe area.

4-Finger Lace System

The Loch Lomond Scottish highland dance pumps are designed with a 4-finger lace system to ensure a secure and snug fit, giving dancers confidence and support during their movements. However, for toddler sizes 10-13, the pumps have a 3-finger lace system instead. This is because a 4th finger would rise too high on the foot, making the fit less comfortable for smaller sizes. This thoughtful adjustment ensures that every dancer, regardless of age, gets the perfect fit for their needs.

Extra Eyelet At Ankle

We added an extra eyelet near the ankle to give better support and help the heel sit securely in the heel cup at the back of the pump. This design makes the fit more comfortable and keeps the pump in place while dancing.
