Abstract
A moccasin shoe is proposed to be made by a method which comprises cutting the parts of an upper including a vamp, preparing the underside of the vamp for fusing, assembling the back part of the shoe, placing and fixing the thus formed and prepared upper, which does not include a plug, in a mold which is injected with polyurethane or other suitable thermoplastic material to form a sole which is bonded to the underside of the upper and also, by means of an upstanding peripheral flange to the side margins of the upper, removing the upper from the mold and thereafter stitching a plug portion to the upper margin of the vamp.
Claims11
A method of making a moccasin shoe comprising, in sequence, the following:
- cutting parts of an upper including a vamp;
- preparing the underside of the vamp for bonding;
- assembling the back part of the shoe;
- mounting the thus formed and prepared upper on a last;
- placing and fixing the mounted upper in a mould;
- successively injecting layers of polyurethane or other suitable thermoplastic material having different physical properties into the mould to form a sole bonded to the underside of the upper and also, by means of an upstanding peripheral flange having an external peripheral groove formed therein, to the side margins of the upper;
- removing the upper and sole assembly from the mould;
- sinking stitching through the groove into the upper to thereby attach the sole to the upper;
- and
- stitching a plug portion to the upper margin of the vamp.
