- the gluing process is manual.
- the stitching comprises a horizontal lock stitch.
- the lip of the sole unit is located at a predetermined distance from the edge of the top surface of the sole unit.
- the predetermined distance is in the range 2,0 to 3,0 mm.
- the lip preferably has a width dimension in the range 1 mm to 5 mm. In the preferred form the width of the lip is approximately 2,5 mm.
- the article of the invention may further include an inner sole comprising a "comfort material", for example, a polymeric material such as polyurethane, latex rubber or thermoplastic rubber.
- a "comfort material” for example, a polymeric material such as polyurethane, latex rubber or thermoplastic rubber.
- a method of manufacture of an article of footwear includes the steps of affixing the upper to a peripheral or near peripheral vertical formation of the sole unit; applying fastening means horizontally through the upper and the peripheral vertical formation; inserting a rigid last into the shoe cavity, and removing the last.
- a further step involves insertion of an inner sole comprising a "comfort material" into the shoe cavity.
