WINDSOR SHOE COMPANY. Tap shoes used by Sammy Davis Jr.,1938. Creator: Windsor Shoe Company.

WINDSOR SHOE COMPANY. This pair of child's tap shoes were used by African-American singer, dancer, actor and comedian Sammy Davis Jr. (1925-1990) when he travelled the vaudeville circuit as part of the Will Mastin Trio. The shoes have black leather uppers and close across the center front over a split vamp with a tongue using black cotton shoelaces tipped with plastic or leather aglets. The leather outsoles are machine stitched to the midsole and the uppers as in a welted shoe. Rubber heels are adhered to the soles. Stamped onto the bottom of the heels is a "W" inside of a shield with the word "WINDSOR" below the shield. Metal toe taps are nailed to the outsole and metal heel taps are nailed to the rubber heel. The heel taps have an open area in the middle so that the manufacturer's mark can be seen on the rubber heel bottom.
