The elasticated arch enhancer is dynamic and responsive, supporting your arch through every hop, step and jump. The arch enhancer also pulls the pump securely and neatly around the foot to create a stunning arch profile. The arch enhancer will ensure you have a fantastic arch profile every time you put them on even after months of wear! This is a major bonus of the new system. As most Irish dancers know, some pumps can look fabulous the first time you wear them but after a few wears, the pre-lasted arch can drop, leaving the pump looking flat footed. However, the arch enhancer works time after time! Clever Insoles use a combination of materials to protect and cushion your feet and joints - a real improvement over other insoles currently available on the market. The insole is covered in a wick-away Camberelle lining, removing the chance of the Poron cracking or tearing due to age. The pump is made from the same leather as the H3 which is softer than the H1 and H2 leathers. The leather we use in the H3 and H4 allows for a slight stretch for an improved fit and has been finished in a red suede lining for a wonderful touch of elegance.
Notes
Supports the foot and creates a wow factor arch profile! For a secure fit around the heel.

The new Irish dancing pump, the H3 from Hullachan Pro has been designed from the ground up to protect and enhance a dancer's performance, and reflects the increasing demands of today's Irish dancing. These Hullachan's have a secondary eyelet closer to the arch of the foot. This allows dancers to use the laces to pull the arch of the pump up so it fits snugly and securely under their own arch. This allows the pump to support the dancer's arch as well as showcasing the arch of the dance. If you have high arches you will get the support you need! The H3 are also fitted with Clever Insoles made from a combination of materials which protect and cushion your feet and joints. The pump is made from a softer leather than the original Hullachans to allow for a slight stretch for an improved fit and finished with a red suede lining.
