Do jazz shoes, such as these.....make a tapping noise when you dance or walk?

Question

Such as these...http://www.dancewearcorner.com/Products/ViewProduct.aspx?sReturnTo=%2FProducts%2Findex%2Easp%3Fbd%252D2115649983&iProductId=2141168965&sAction=view

I have never been a dancer myself, but I find myself needing to know the answer to this question ( I know it is a weird question?). So are those type of shoes like tap shoes or are they silent?

Answer 1

The split sole jazz shoes you are referring to are usually silent.  Unless you click your heel down for a reason, or land really hard, it should be quiet.  The toe sole is very thin, so no noise is made.  The heel is a little thicker but still doesn't make much noise.  Jazz sneakers tend to be louder.  

Are you needing a silent shoe or are you wanting to hear the click?  Good luck!
