Hard shoes have a metal piece on the ball of the foot and the heel of the foot and are used for dances like the hornpipe, treble jig, and some traditional sets. Dances with hard shoes incorporate the clicks and sounds that the hard shoes make. The soft shoe is similar to a Ballet shoe with more lacing. It is used for dances like the reel, slip jig, and light jig.

What is the difference between jazz dancing and ballet dancing?
The difference can be the way you dance. Usually ballet is about the technique more than anything else. Jazz is about the flow of movement to movement and how it all looks together. There are also diffrent because of there shoes. In ballet there are ballet shoes and ballet point shoes. In jazz there are jazz shoes. Ballet and Jazz both are great fun. I am in both. They both have the same diciplene which for any dancing of dance team has a lot of diciplene. Hope this helps you!
