Calks (identified by the letter "C" on diagram) consist of spur-point and a shank to form an antislipping device.

A caulkin[a] is a blunt projection on a horseshoe or oxshoe that is often forged, welded or brazed onto the shoe.[1][2] The term may also refer to traction devices screwed into the bottom of a horseshoe, also commonly called shoe studs or screw-in calks. These are usually a blunt spiked cleat, usually placed at the sides of the shoe.
