Blake construction

Blake construction is a method of making shoes invented in 1856 by Lyman Reed Blake.[1]

It is especially popular in Italy.[2] In a Blake construction, the outer sole is directly stitched to the insole; this allows more flexibility and lighter weight as compared to the sturdier Goodyear construction.
