Abstract
A shoe construction including an upper member preferably divided into two pieces, an upper and a mudguard piece in which the mudguard piece has a pair of depending side portions extending beneath the upper and joined along longitudinal abutting edges between the heel portion and the forepart of the upper member.
The method of making this shoe includes slip-lasting the upper member after the upper and the mudguard piece have been secured together, and after the bottom edges of the mudguard piece have been secured. Thus, lasting is facilitated, because only the forepart and heel portions of the upper member need be lasted. Moreover, less attention is required for fitting the upper member about the last since the shape and fit has been substantially determined by pre-securing the bottom edges of the depending mudguard side portions.
