Ryan & O Donnell pumps feature a full shock absorbing ‘soft gel’ cushioned insole. The ‘soft gel’ cushion is a revolutionary shock material that still allows the dancer to feel the floor but adds the essential protection and desired comfort that you expect from a performance sports pump. Perforations throughout the gel layer increase the breathability and help with wicking. There is a layer of shock dispersing Noene surrounding the actual toe area, giving protection to the area that requires it the most.  The pumps have a quality grained soft leather finish and have been made using an arch last to accentuate the point whilst giving arch hugging profile support. The pump has a split suede sole finish for maximum flexibility. There are extra eyelets at the ankle for better support and fit around the heel.
