We loooove new trends here at Inishfree and we are delighted to be now making the super shiny Inishfree RED PATENT Irish Dancing Soft Pomp .
As worn by our very own Siobhan Phelan on SKY’s ‘Got To Dance’ we think the simplicity of her dress and the burst of colour on her feet is really beautiful.
We wonder if it is a sign of things to come. Would you wear a pair of pink patent pair Irish Dancing Shoes or maybe even a green patent pair for St Patrick’s day??
We better get sewing…
There is nothing worse than suffering from dreaded blisters when you are trying to break in new Irish Dancing Hard Shoes.
Say goodbye to those plasters and hello to NEW EZeeFit Ankle Booties. These tight fitting pull-on anti-blister Booties allow your foot to grip your footwear better, yet offer excellent protection from rubbing and blistering. These have been described a cross between sockless and wearing socks…
The anti-blister booties are so thin you will not notice you are wearing them. We find that even runners, hill walkers, chefs, in fact anyone who is on their feet all day will benefit from the protection and warmth that the EZeeFit Ankle Booties provide.
Try them with your Irish Set Dancing Shoes or Irish Dancing Jig Shoes today!!!!

At INISHFREE we mostly get asked which Irish dancing SOFT pomps are best for me?
We divide our Irish pomps into 3 categories – beginners, intermediate and advanced to help dancers decide which pomp will suit them best.
For beginners our LOOP or EL POMP soft shoes are ideal for kids or casual dancers. They have a full leather outsole and full leather upper which makes them very durable. Note the El Pomp comes with side elastic loops for a tighter fit.
For intermediate or advancing dancers we are delighted to offer the NIAMH Irish dancing soft pomp. This pomp has a full black suede outsole which looks great and is super soft for lucid movement. It also has side loops for a better fit and a poron insole to protect soles for a softer landing.
Finally, our Professional or advanced pomp is the AOIFE Irish dancing soft pomp. This pomp is characterised by a split outsole which allows the pomp to be moulded so as to hug the arch of the foot. The beauty of the Aoife pomp is that it is flexible, enhances the foot and creates a beautiful elegant pointing of the toe. Wear straight away as the soft leather requires no breaking in!
The Niamh versatile pomp
The INISHFREE brand of Irish dance shoes is manufactured by the Whelan family here in Cootehill, Co. Cavan, Ireland. Over the past 28 years, we have seen Inishfree evolve to become a recognised and trusted brand on many an international stage.
It’s success comes from a sustained commitment to using quality materials and a continuous dedication to on-going research and development.
We have posted a picture of one of our many talented personnel who has been with the factory since its development. You can see the LOOP Irish dancing soft pomp being shaped over the last and pleats being created at the toe area for a more refined and neater finish.
We believe in being proud of what you wear and letting your feet do the talking! So follow our blog where Mr Martin Whelan MD of Whelan Shoes will be sharing over 40 years of his experience with hints and tips on choosing, buying, caring for and the upkeep of your Irish dancing shoes.
