    The term you are looking for is shank. They sometimes break on Poell's shoes because they are "women's" shanks according to my cobbler and not meant for full sized men's shoes. I've replaced one on a pair of my tornadoes, but in doing so, had to have a hole drilled directly through the boot to affix the new rivet.

      Thanks! You're a well of knowledge. And I'm sorry to hear about the boots =/ Also your cobbler is disciminating against gender ;)

        Personally I think the island dunks in this color are cool as hell, if my feet were this small I'd be all over them.

          On the other hand, Rickdidas are a steal for $350 if anyone has huge feet.

              ^^Best pair of boots I've ever owned. Have worn my so much that they are almost ready to abandon. I mean, like 6 years? of serious wear and tear and I still don't want to let them go. Killer boots that look edgy and can also be worn under as a formal shoe if under nice pants. With the heel and the lace up twist, they are unique with some substantial leather.

              Highly recommended and a good price...Anyone know of a pair in size 1?

                    I'm in Canada, so not sure if that's why we're seeing different prices.

                      US is $474. I'm guess it was 350 Euro or something like that?

                        I'm not sure why everyone is seeing different prices, the screenshot I posted shows $353 CAD which should be $304 USD or €249.

                          Before taxes which would easily catapult them into the $500 range.

                            You're seeing different prices because they are not discounted in Europe yet - things here go on discount after all the good things are gone, it is to this day beyond me how this can be good business but I guess it is, somehow.

                              ^ not so much a business decision but rather legislation restrictions i suppose.

                                Nope, designers specify sale start dates per geographical location.
