Shank dependent foot orthotic
The shank of the shoe is located in front of the heel. You might find other shoes that are quite flimsy, it is a must to be very rigid and firm because this part should be not only be kept stable but as well as flexible. Moreover, this part of the shoe is where the shank dependent foot orthotic rests on. Think of it, if the shoe is flimsy on this area then how could it function as a support on the foot? That’s quite rational, right?
