Shoes created at the passionate request of a pianist.

Immediately after the low-heeled piano shoes were sold in June 2015, we received a number of enquiries from performers and pianists from high school age and above asking us to make high-heeled piano shoes! After about a year of development, the high-heeled piano shoes were born.
It is now used by a variety of people, including piano teachers, performers entering competitions, those applying to music colleges, professional pianists and world-class pianists, and has spread by word of mouth to a large number of people.
You can see how you used to struggle to step in normal formal shoes.
Use your piano shoes as a ‘piano playing tool’ and enjoy playing the piano the way you want to.

The original heel section has a heel structure specially designed for piano playing (patented).

■Curved heel designed in Japan, original to Little Pianist.
(No other company has it!)
Patented designed piano playing heel to help you play exactly the way you want.
Piano shoes make it easier to perform the pedalling techniques necessary to pursue music, such as ‘half-pedalling’ and ‘vibrato pedalling’, because they allow you to quickly and timely ‘step changes’ that affect the music and control the depth of your pedalling.

■Super soft curved lift specially formulated in Japan is also a Little Pianist original.
(No other company has this!)
When the heel is fixed to the floor during performance, the piano shoes themselves are stable, which reduces muscular strain (according to Tsukuba University empirical research data) and keeps concentration at a minimum load.

Original sole section catches the important pedal sensations.

The feeling of the pedals is more easily transmitted to the soles of the feet, making it easier to adjust the depth of pedaling and create a variety of tones.
The sole material is soft, so you can step on the piano pedals as if they were wrapped around you.
There is no contact noise with the pedals to worry about, so only beautiful piano sounds are played.

Quiet stage, no footsteps.

Preserves a dignified silence before piano performances.
Impress the jury teachers during piano competitions.

For mothers who walk on stage to set up footstools at their children’s piano competitions.
For piano teachers who are very busy with piano recitals and performances.
For pianists who play a leading role in piano concerts and piano recitals.
For all those who perform on stage (stringed instruments, operas, treadmillists, presenters, etc.).

The programme is very popular with everyone who performs on stage (stringed instruments, opera, treadmillists, presenters, etc.).

Practicality of easy pedalling and aesthetics of appearance.
Designed to combine both.

Black enamel is ideal for music school practical exams, accompaniment, dresses and suits.

Toe shape with a gentle impression.

The Little Pianist Original heel is 6 cm high and has a beautiful flared line with an infinitely narrow heel and a secure ground contact with the floor.

Experience superb comfort and effortless pedalling.

I wish I had found piano shoes sooner.

It is not uncommon for people to wish they had an easy concert shoe that would allow them to pedal as if they were playing the piano at home when they go on stage.
I happened to know about piano shoes developed by a little pianist and took the plunge and bought them immediately. When I tried them on the next day, I found that they fit me perfectly, with no gap between the toes, and they were soft and comfortable!
Now I just wish I had found these shoes earlier.
We can confidently recommend these piano shoes!

I was thrilled to be able to pedal as I intended.

Ms Lie Ishii

Associate Professor, Tokyo College of Music

When I tried the piano shoes on, I was first surprised by the comfortable fit and lightness of the shoes.
And the shape was beautiful, with an elegant sheen and attention to detail.
Above all, I particularly liked the ingenious heel section, which makes the pedals very easy to pedal and stable. Pedaling requires subtle control over depth and speed, and I was thrilled to be able to pedal as I intended.
I don’t usually wear heels, but they are easy to walk in and very stable.
It is also recommended for people like me who are not used to wearing heels on a regular basis.
Thank you for the wonderful shoes!

I still remember how surprised I was when I first tried it in the shop.

2011, 1st Prize and F. Liszt Special Prize at the 4th ASEAN International Concerto Competition, Jakarta; 2012, Silver Prize (highest prize) at the 13th Chopin International Piano Competition in ASIA Professional Competition in Asia; 2016, 8th Rosario Marciano International Piano Competition in Vienna) 1st Prize & Grand Prix.

The shoes I used to wear in the performance had a problem with the heel slipping and sliding unsteadily when I was pedaling, but since I found the Little Pianist piano shoes I can pedal with great confidence!
Outstanding stability and lightness. I still remember how surprised I was when I first tried it out in the shop before I bought it.
For me, the most important thing is to feel at ease on the day, so these shoes are absolutely essential.
I will continue to use it with great care.

Quantify the load on your feet when pedaling, A demonstration experiment was conducted with pianists to measure the effectiveness of piano shoes.

In September 2022, an experiment was conducted at a piano studio in Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture, to measure the effect on the feet during performance using electromyograms and accelerometers. It has been proven that there is.

Dr. Kazutaka Adachi, Doctor of Science, The University of Tokyo

In pedaling, a force of between 5 and 7 kg is exerted on the right foot only, and in developing children this can affect bone development if they are not wearing the right shoes.
Piano shoes are ergonomically sensible in terms of the hardness and shape of the soles and the curvature of the heel, and pedaling movements in particular are easy and as desired because the fulcrum is close to the ankle joint, just below it.
This results in less stress and awareness on the feet and allows the brain to concentrate on the movement of the fingers.

Differences in muscle strain when pedalling three times
~Results of a demonstration experiment by the University of Tsukuba~.

It was demonstrated that the load on muscle activity was clearly reduced when wearing the Little Pianist.
