Clogging II

Failure. Horrible failure. After trying to find the damn clogging shoes on-line for 3 hours, I finally figured out that you needed to buy JUST the double taps and then either glue or tack them on to regular shoes. Great. I can do that, right?? So the double taps come and I attempt to drive tiny little stakes into the bottom of her little black shoes. Bad idea. They drive right through the bottom of her shoe. I then attempt to nail them into her hot pink shoes-thicker soles-but the stupid shoes are too small. Finally, an hour before the class, I decide to GLUE them to the bottom of her old sneakers. The glue doesn't stick so out come the nails again and in they go. As I am walking into the studio, with the double taps (full of dried glue) securely nailed to the bottom of the shoes, I know that they are going to fly off about half way through the class. Isabella puts them on (yes, they look ridiculous but they make the loudest noise-our goal) and takes her place on the floor. Immediately, she limps over to me. A tack is sticking into her toe. Great. I find a pair of kid scissors and pry the damn nail out of the bottom of her sneaker and send her back on the floor. Five seconds later, she limps over....the other shoe now has a tack sticking into her toe. UGH. UGH. UGH. After countless hours, nails/hammers/screwdrivers/glue/3 pairs of shoes, she clogged barefoot.
