Are the taps on the Tate TA28s replaceable?
Yes. The taps on the Só Dança Tate TA28s are screwed on, which means they can be replaced or adjusted by a qualified shoe repair professional or dance studio technician when worn down.
How should I care for the leather upper on the Tate TA28s?
The genuine leather upper should be wiped clean with a soft, slightly damp cloth after each use. A leather conditioner applied periodically will help maintain flexibility and extend the life of the shoe. Avoid submerging the shoe in water or exposing it to excessive heat.

The Só Dança Tate TA28s features a genuine leather upper, while the Tato TA39s uses a man-made leather upper. Both are children's tap oxfords with similar construction, but the Tate TA28s offers the natural breathability and durability of real leather, which is preferred by many studios for long-term wear.
