A few simple things first
Before You Start
This is how they should look!
- Slip the toe of your SnapTap over the toe of your shoe.
- Pull the heel part back over the heel of your shoe.
- Pull it up snug in the back, and you're ready to tap!
Tip:
SnapTaps fit over most shoes, even slippers. Slim, flat shoes usually work best. Too loose or too tight? Experiment with different pairs of shoes for the best fit.
TIP 01
Use a sturdy chair without wheels.
TIP 02
Sit tall with both feet flat on the floor.
TIP 03
Hard floors make the best tapping sound.
