ABSTRACT:
A tap dance shoe and method for attaching a tap to a dance shoe includes securing a single T-nut in a fiber board and then installing the combined T-nut and fiber board assembly on the sole of the shoe. The shoe may have a preformed hole for receiving the T-nut. The fiber board is attached to the sole by nailing, for example. The fiber board has a fixture formed thereon for positioning a tap relative to the sole of the shoe. The tap has a hole for aligning with the T-nut and also an engaging member for accommodating the fixture formed on the fiber board. Once the fiber board is secured to the sole, the tap is located on the fiber board by mating the fixture with the engaging member of the tap. The tap is secured to the shoe and fiber board by inserting a single screw into the single T-nut and tightening. An adhesive resin and a spring can be applied to a threaded portion of the screw to securely hold the tap on the sole of the shoe.
