Beech wood shanks are a popular choice in shoemaking for various reasons. Firstly, they are lightweight, making them ideal for shoes where reducing weight is a priority, such as low-heeled or casual footwear.
Industry experts and manufacturers highly value the traditional and aesthetic appeal of beech wood shanks in handcrafted shoes. In addition, their non-metallic nature makes them convenient for frequent travelers since they won't set off alarms in airport security.
Wooden shanks provide design flexibility for welted shoes, serving as both a filler and supportive shank to maintain the shoe's structure. Their lightweight and flexible properties make them a popular choice for handmade shoes, particularly for those who prioritize traditional craftsmanship and non-metallic components.
