Vertical Shank
The Short Shank Polo Spur
The Polo Spur features a broad or narrow band of stainless steel with hinged studs where the single straps are attatched. With this fitting the leather strap is fastened over the top of the foot and the steel spur sits behind the heel. The result of this is that spur will take contact on upward movements and fold up on downward movements to avoid contact, which can help if a rider is moving a lot in the saddle reaching for balls or riding off.
