you can do both.

a- you don't have to leave them there forever.
b- yes you can use them as charecter shoes.

CATCH: there will be small holes in the sole of your shoe, and if you are bothered by that take them to a shoe repair shop and have them fill the holes.
i do this ALLLLLLLL day!

I wouldn't recommend putting tap plates on your character shoes. Character shoes are made differently to tap shoes, I imagine that tap shoes would also have a thicker sole. Character shoes usually have a lot more of skinny heel compared to tap shoes as well, so I don't know if you could get tap plates to fit.

If you did put them on, you would also have holes in the shoe as well.

Hope this helps :)

It is a very common practise, and it is certainly something that all from my era did.

You can just unscrew the taps and use them as character again and then replace as needed.

Try to keep it to a minimum as the holes do wear from the screws going in and out...but yes it can and has been done.

Hi hon, I work for a dance shop, and we're the only place around that does this service. You can add and remove the taps as needed.
