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.

The standard pearl silver colour blends well with a variety of dress colours.

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.

I felt covered in marshmallow the moment I put them on.
Fluffy, light and comfortable, as if wings had grown on your feet.
When you pedal, you can certainly feel the sensation.
Moreover, the foot is well supported without moving in the shoe.
I think that’s why I feel as if I am pedalling with my bare feet.

These shoes are very easy to adjust the depth of the vibrato pedal and are a good partner to keep me on my feet.

And that is not all.
This heel allows the foot to move smoothly to the sostenuto pedal.
It is a reliable partner that keeps you on your feet.

Together with these shoes, I would like to further explore music that resonates with me.

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.
