Abstract
An outsole is provided with a protection flange projecting outwardly from the outer peripheral surface of the outsole and substantially flush with a top side of the outsole. An upper has a bottom end portion which includes a connection part extending laterally and outwardly from the bottom end portion thereof and attached to the protection flange and the top side of the outsole. Preferably, the connection part is an outwardly turned part of the upper or a welt. With the protection flange, the connection part is permitted to be ground so as to be flush with the protection flange without harming the outer peripheral surface of the outsole.
