Thanks to your support,
the number of users of Little Pianist piano shoes has exceeded 10,000!

Good piano players wear piano shoes?
Especially popular with pianists aiming to win piano competitions!
Piano shoe users have expressed their joy at winning competitions and being accepted to music colleges.
Once you wear piano shoes, you can pedal more easily than when you are barefoot, so once you wear piano shoes, you say, ‘I can’t go back to normal shoes!’ Once you wear piano shoes, you’ll never go back to normal shoes!’
Use your piano shoes as a ‘piano playing tool’ and enjoy playing the piano in the way you want, stress-free.

Designed in the piano image colours of glossy black, red and gold.
These black piano shoes are ideal for matching with dark colored dresses.
In addition, this enamel is made of ‘stretch enamel’, which provides a gentle fit around the fingers.
They do not hurt your feet when you pedal a foot wide.
The insoles are made of a non-slip material so that the foot does not slip inside the shoe and unnecessary force is not required.
The outsole is made of metal to prevent the pedals from slipping and to transmit the depth of the pedal to the foot.
The sole also has a silent effect, reducing the sound of walking on stage.
The silence is very useful before a competition performance and makes a good impression on the jury.
These piano shoes have a 3-way strap, so that the second player in a duet can easily operate the pedals when stretching his or her legs to pedal.

With piano shoes as your ally,
you can achieve your ideal music on the most important stage.

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

Curved heel designed in Japan, Little Pianist original.
(No other company has it!)
Patented designed piano playing heel to help you play exactly the way you want.
The original curved heel, patented and designed for piano playing, allows the toe to lift up softly at the moment you envision, just like a feather in a shoe.
Piano shoes make it easier to perform the pedaling techniques necessary to pursue music, such as ‘half-pedaling’ and ‘vibrato pedalling’, because they allow you to quickly and timely ‘step changes’ that affect the music and control the depth of your pedaling.
There is no contact noise with the pedals to worry about, so only beautiful piano sounds are played.
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.
We recommend that you wear these ‘piano performance shoes’ when practicing at home to demonstrate their power on stage.

3 ways it can be used!
Three ways that you enjoy the shoes.

By putting the strap through the through-hole in the heel, the ankle-strap pumps are secured at the ankle!
The narrow straps make your feet look more beautiful.
This style is recommended for dresses with an elegant, mature look.

Can also be worn as plain pumps without the straps.
The simple design makes it suitable for a variety of stages.
They are comfortable and can be worn for long periods of time.

The strap is passed through a through-hole in the back sole of the pumps to create an instep strap type.
It tightens the line from the ankle to the instep.
The straps hold the foot firmly in place, allowing you to pedal with great stability.

The sole also has a silent effect, reducing the sound of walking on stage.

You can pedal as if it were a part of your body.

Ms Mari Takeda

Visiting professor at Tokyo College of Music, director of PTNA All Japan Piano Teachers Association

The moment I met these piano shoes and put them on, I was very impressed by how gentle they were on my feet.
It is the best fit I have ever experienced.
And you can operate a subtle sensory control over the pedals.
You can pedal as if it were a part of your body.
We are eager to tell as many people as possible about these piano shoes.

These are the only shoes I wear when I play! Little Pianist’s shoes are better than any other shoes!

Pianist Ms Hibiki Katayama

I want to choose different dresses, but these are the only shoes I want to wear! Little Pianist’s shoes are better than any other shoes.
From an early age, all shoes for concerts were a problem for me, as they made my feet hurt and slip.
Above all, they are distracted and unable to concentrate during the performance.
I have been able to pedal more boldly since I started wearing these shoes.
I have wanted one since I was a child when I needed auxiliary pedals.
These shoes are very reliable and support growing feet without strain.
A strong ally in the production! Little Pianist! Thank you.

To ensure that the pedals are used as practiced and as reliably as possible on any piano in the production.

Pianist Ms Sakurako Kita

The lessons are now very detailed.
Among other things, they learnt that the pedal is not only used to connect notes, but also to create resonance and change volume, and practiced until they were able to use it to its fullest.
However, when it came time to stage the show, they had trouble adjusting well.
Since I started wearing Little Pianist’s shoes, I have been able to do as I practiced on any piano in the production, and I can now use the pedals reliably.
From now on, I want to use these piano shoes to expand my musical horizons.

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.
