Abstract
A mud guard is stitched to an upper at or spaced from the lower edge of the upper. A portion of the periphery of a sock lining is stitched to the lower edge of the upper but is free from attachment with respect to the heel portion of the upper. An inner sole or platform containing a metal shank is bonded to the sock lining. Then a free edge portion of the mud guard as well as a heel flange are lasted in overlying relation to the inner sole. Thereafter, an outsole is attached to the inner sole in overlying relation to the heel flange and mud guard.
Claims12
A method of making a shoe comprising the steps of providing an upper with a heel flange and counter lining, stitching a longitudinal edge portion of a mud guard to the upper adjacent the lower edge of the upper, attaching only a portion of the periphery of a sock lining to the upper adjacent the lower edge of the upper while leaving the heel portion of the sock lining free from attachment to the upper and counter lining, lasting an inner sole containg a metal shank to said sock lining, bonding the free edge portion of said mud guard to said inner sole in overlying relation thereto, lasting the heel flange to said inner sole in overlying relation thereto, and thereafter attaching an outsole to said inner sole.
In a method of making a shoe having a slip lasted construction comprising the steps of stitching a mud guard to a lower periphery of an upper so that the ends of the mud guard terminate at a heel flange on the upper, preforming a sock lining having a layer of foam polymeric material sandwiched between upper and lower layers of material and joined together by a closed loop of stitching in the ball portion thereof, stitching the peripheral portion of said sock lining to the lower edge of said upper except for the heel portion of the sock lining.
