Abstract

Abstract The invention refers to the manufacture of shoes with uppers lasted by pulling a string secured to the lasting margin of the upper. Improvements are presented which reduce costs of manufacture especially if the sole is molded directly to the upper. The method of manufacture includes use of a last deformed to obtain preselected location of the lasting margin and to prevent the formation of undesirable spew.
