What is shoe shank?
• improves arch support
• improves stability
• facilitates boot keep its form over time
Shanks are a pretty not unusual boot component, and also you’ll locate them in all forms of styles from mountain climbing, to heavy work boots, to a streamlined get dressed boot. The shank itself is a slim, square piece of metal approximately the form of a chunk of chewing gum, perhaps a chunk larger. Shanks come in 1/2, ¾, and full lengths, even though outside of heavy workwear a 1/2 shank is the usual. After the top and insole are constructed, the shank is cemented and/or laced to the insole, then covered by the outsole, that's stitched to the vamp.
