Fashion A-Z Term: Shank: Not it’s not a makeshift knife in this case. It is actually, the narrow middle of the sole of a shoe. Designed to support the arch and provide stability, the shank is typically made from a thin strip of steel or polycarbonate and placed between the outsole and midsole. Outsole: Typically made of polyurethane or rubber, the outsole rests on the bottom of the shoe's sole and is exposed to the most wear and tear. Midsole: The thin layer of material between the outsole and insole, designed to absorb shock and ease the walking motion. https://www.clarksusa.com/us/about-clarks/glossary-of-terms This episode was brought to you by Royal Vintage Shoes Website: http://www.royalvintageshoes.com/ Instagram: missroyalvintage Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/royalvintageshoes/ American Duchess: https://www.american-duchess.com/ The American Duchess Guide to 18th Century Dressmaking: https://www.american-duchess.com/index.php?_route_=book/american-duchess-guide Follow us on: Instagram: @unravelpodcast Twitter: @unravelpodcast Facebook: www.facebook.com/unravelpodcast/ Pinterest: unravel: a fashion podcast www.pinterest.com/afashionpodcast/ In the mood for giving our GoFundMe is still open: https://www.gofundme.com/csaunravel2017
