Generations of cobblers have been using it since the 19th century, and its quality is recognized worldwide.Countersunk tacks are used to attach metal plates to the ends of soles and under heels. With its square-section body and countersunk head, you will find here the cobbler's tack par excellence. Its tip, in contact with the steel of the protective sole form, turns effortlessly. "It is said that the tip is 'riveted' onto the mounting first, thus providing undeniable resistance to tearing (FFCM, 2023)."
