  • All our Pumps are carefully handcrafted at our factory in Fife, Scotland. Since each pump is made to order, please allow some time for us to work our magic as we create yours.

 

  • We’re happy to adjust any of our pump styles to suit your needs. However, these custom changes will make them unique to you, so we won’t be able to accept them as returns.

 

  • We recommend going only one full size down with your competition pumps. Choosing a smaller size than this could put extra pressure on the stitching and may cause the seams to split.

 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.
