Designed for Highland Dancers
Highland Dance Pumps—also known as ghillies or soft dance shoes—are specially designed to support the precision and technique required in Scottish Highland dancing. Lightweight and flexible, they allow dancers to move with control while maintaining balance, clean footwork, and strong presentation.
The Glenshee style is ideal for dancers seeking a more structured and supportive pump with a traditional competition feel.
Key Features
Soft Leather Upper
Crafted from soft black leather, the Glenshee pump is designed to mould comfortably to the foot over time while maintaining durability for regular practice and competition use.
Secure 4-Finger Lace System
The Glenshee style features a supportive 4-finger lacing system, with a 3-finger variation available in smaller sizes. This design provides a secure, adjustable fit to help improve control and stability during performance.
Traditional Front Seam Construction
Unlike seamless styles, the Glenshee pump includes a front seam with loop, offering added structure and helping the shoe maintain its shape over time. This construction provides a supportive fit around the toe area and is preferred by dancers who favour a more traditional feel.
Straight Last Construction
Built on a straight last, the Glenshee pump promotes improved balance, even weight distribution, and overall control during rehearsals and performances.
Enhanced Ankle Support
An additional ankle eyelet helps secure the heel firmly in place, reducing movement within the shoe and improving stability during jumps, turns, and fast footwork.
Flexible Chrome Suede Sole
The soft chrome suede sole delivers the flexibility and grip needed for precise Highland dance technique, allowing for smooth turns, controlled landings, and accurate foot placement.
Distinctive Colour Detail Options
The Glenshee range features coloured stitching and eyelet detailing, allowing dancers to personalise their look while maintaining a traditional appearance.
Available colour options include:
Red
Blue
Green

Protective Storage Bag Included
Each pair is supplied with a cotton drawstring protector bag to help keep your pumps protected between rehearsals and performances.
Crafted in Scotland
