Here is my solution for the toe tap: a piece of suede leather glued in using super glue Pros: - Total control of aesthetic and color (not ugly as normal taps out there) - None slippery (since it's suede) - tested on several surfaces - Easily removable and make no mark - Super cheap ($7 leather + $3 glue = at least 5 pairs -> $2/pair) - Wear out slower than rubber - No noise Cons: - DIY (about 10-15 mins a pair)
Update 1 (Mar 7, 2010): After 1 full day of walking (roughly 6-7 miles) around on many types of unusual surfaces (ice + salt, muddy grass, pebbles, rough cement). Looks totally fine.
