EnglishHow to Buy Fays Irish Dancing Shoes and Where They Ship
Updated
You can buy Fays Irish dancing shoes directly from fays-shoes.com, where both heavy shoes and light shoes are sold through the online shop. If you are based in the US, the site points you to a separate Fay's USA site instead. For other countries, the Distributors page lists alternative ways to get Fays shoes locally. Shipping and returns details are published on their own pages, so check those before ordering.
Buying Direct from fays-shoes.com
The main site is the Dublin-based manufacturer's own shop, and it splits its footwear into two clear categories:
- Heavy shoes – the hard-shoe range, with its own "Shop Now" entry point.
- Light shoes – the soft-shoe range, also with a dedicated "Shop Now" entry point.
Both are reachable from the homepage menu under Shoes. The site runs on a standard basket system ("No products in the basket"), so the flow is: browse the shoe category, add to basket, then check out. You will need a My Account login for account-based features, though the site does not state whether guest checkout is available.
One product worth knowing about if you are choosing: The Gavin by Fay's, a newer shoe made in collaboration with teacher and costume maker Gavin Doherty. Fays describes it as blending their existing quality, durability and craftsmanship with a new look, shape and fit — useful if you want a more recent design rather than the classic models.
If You Are in the US
The site carries a dedicated prompt: "Based in the US? Click the button below to visit Fay's in the USA." That takes you to a separate US operation rather than ordering from the Irish site. If you are a US customer, start there — it is the route the manufacturer itself directs you to.
Getting Fays Shoes Outside Ireland and the US
Fays does not only sell direct. The site has two separate pages for this:
| Page | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Distributors | "Find out other ways to get Fays shoes in your part of the world" — local or regional stockists |
| Trade Customers | Wholesale enquiries and trade customers |
So if you are outside Ireland and the US, the Distributors page is the first place to check for a closer supplier. Teachers, schools and shops buying in volume should use the trade route instead.
Shipping and Returns: What to Check Before Ordering
The site lists Shipping and Returns as their own pages in the footer, alongside Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy and Terms of Use. The homepage does not state shipping costs, delivery times, destination coverage or return windows — those details live on the Shipping and Returns pages themselves, so read them before you commit to an order.
A practical order of operations:
- Decide heavy or light shoes (and whether you want a specific model such as The Gavin by Fay's).
- Confirm you are ordering from the right site — Ireland/EU direct, or Fay's USA if you are US-based.
- If you are elsewhere, check the Distributors page first; a local stockist may be simpler than cross-border shipping.
- Read the Shipping page for destinations and the Returns page for the return conditions that apply to you.
Background Worth Knowing
Fays has been making Irish dancing shoes in Dublin since 1980 and describes itself as a worldwide leader in high-quality Irish dancing shoe manufacture. The site notes the brand as a famous supplier to Riverdance and Lord of the Dance dancers. Contact details are published directly: 54B Lower Dorset Street, Dublin 1, Ireland, D01 E278, with phone +353 1 855 5421 and email [email protected] — useful if you have a sizing or order question that the site does not answer.
