ABSTRACT:
A novel method of footwear construction. A specially designed outer sole with a lip is used. It insures accurate positioning between upper and shoe linings. After the upper is complete, a sock lining is attached to a leather lining by stitching the edges of the linings to the edge of the insole. The insole is made of soft leather or soft flexible fabric. The next step is uniting the linings with the upper. Then, the upper of the shoe is assembled onto the last by inserting the last into the upper which now is completely closed by the linings only. Only the lower edge of the upper (about 1 inch) is floating loose. The fourth step is to cement the sock lining, which is attached to the upper via the vamp and quarter linings, to the specially designed sole. With the last in place, the fifth step is to cement the lower edge of the upper that was left free to the recessed lip of the sole. After this attachment has been completed, the shoe assembly is dropped into a pressure device to further set the cement bonds. After the shoe has been removed from pressure, the last is removed. As an optional final step, the cement bond attaching the previous free edge of the upper to the sole can be side-wall stitched, adding strength to the fastening. The resulting shoe is extremely lightweight, flexible, yet possesses the uniformity of shape and comfortable fit of a lasted shoe.
