Abstract: A new form of commercially produced moccasin-type shoe comprises an outer wedge sole of crepe rubber, an under vamp of soft leather extending under the whole area of the foot and turned up to form a continuous unseamed rim all around the shoe, and an upper vamp, quarters and a counter hand-stitched to the rim to form an upper. The hand stitching is a form of blanket stitching designed to hold the overlapping top edge of the rim tightly against the other pieces of the upper. The stitching comprises a continuous row of stitches parallel to the top edge of the rim and a series of loop stitches perpendicular to the top edge of the rim.
