Abstract
A method for making shoes comprises the stages of molding a base of the shoe according to a preset curve, folding the edges of the base outwards, folding the flaps of an upper outwards and of joining the upper to the base at the outer edge of the base. The method may also comprise stages of applying a thermoformable element on a first surface of the base, at least at the outer edge of the base and of applying a sole element, on at least a portion of a second surface of the base. A shoe obtained in this way, therefore, comprises a base, molded according to a preset curve and an upper attached to the base at the outer edge of the base by joining the flaps of the upper and the edges of the base which are folded outwards.
Claims16
A method for making shoes comprising the steps of:
- a) molding a hull shaped base of the shoe having edges which present a preset curve, said step of molding the hull shaped base comprising the sub-step of joining at least two pre-shaped flat portions along a predetermined stitching line;
- b) folding the edges of the base outwards;
- c) folding flaps of an upper of the shoe outwards;
- and,
- d) joining the folded edges of the base with the folded flaps of the upper.
A shoe comprising:
- a hull shaped base having edges which present a preset curve, said edges being folded outwards and said hull shaped base comprising at least two pre-shaped flat portions joined together along a predetermined stitching line;
- and,
- an upper having flaps folded outwardly at an outer periphery thereof, said flaps being joined with the edges of the base.
