Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the manufacture of an orthopedic sort in shoes, in the case of which the top-part is provided along its borders with a continuous cut-out section, so that for the final form-imparting processes of the orthopedic support, merely a border-part and a bottom-part have to be subjected to the grinding operations. This ensures that, also after longer usage, the orthopedic support shows a stability of form, since a material thickness of only a small order of magnitude has to be subjected to the grinding operations, and in that consequently, the border-sections in the upper region of the orthopedic support, retain their retractility.
