Abstract

A shoe with a shaft that encloses the front of the wearer's foot and is attached to a sole component. The upper section and lower section of the shaft and an inserted strip that extends along their outer edges in the vicinity of the attachment are attached along at least one hand-laced seam. The strip can be inserted between the edges of the sections of the shaft and can also overlap the edge of the lower section of the shaft. One embodiment includes a two-layer strip with two halves sewn together along the edge of an incision. This strip can be inserted as a whole or with only one half between the sections of the shaft. In the later event the second half of the strip will overlap the outside of the edge of the lower section of the shaft.
