London toe taps

[Grosbard]

I always have metal toe taps put on my shoes just like the ones pictured here (Bengal's post which is #10 in the thread):

But I've always gotten them outside of the US (Tokyo mainly). I live in NYC and several cobblers here have told me that they are capable of putting on the metal ones and have them be flush with the sole, but none of them carry the actual taps...they normally just carry those small plastic and/or rubber ones which are usually placed on top of the sole. I'll be in London next week and I'd like to pick up a few pairs of metal toe taps to install on future pairs of shoes. Can anybody recommend a place in London to purchase the taps?

Thanks!

Koko's probably carries them. Use the search function and find a few london cobbler threads.
