For my thirteenth post I have found a website that explains how tap shoes were made before they had metal plates on them like they are now. Before metal taps in the 1900-1920’s, tap shoes were only shoes with either pennies or hobnails hammered into the balls and heels of a pair of shoes. Before 1910, tap shoes had wooden soles instead of having nails and pennies hammered into them, however after 1910, metal taps were applied to the bottom of the tap shoes. I think this website is nice for people so see if they just want to know what tap shoes are made of and how they were before.
