I usually have heel taps and toe taps put on my shoes; these are always plastic or rubber or whatever they use.
Recently I had some refinishing work done on a pair of bespoke shoes--the toes were worn down, so they patched the front of the sole and added toe taps that turned out to be metal. And I find I'm rather liking it. It makes a satisfying click, but usually only if I want it to (it doesn't normally touch the ground first when I walk, and it doesn't click when my heel hits first); it'll never wear out; and it's even better at non-slippiness than rubber.
However, I've asked about this at my local repair place and gotten "are you crazy?" stares.
Anyone have thoughts about these?
