Method and apparatus for providing a shoe using san crispino and vulcanization constructions

摘要

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for providing a shoe having an upper with a first surface and a foot placement mechanism for placing a foot and having a top surface and a bottom surface. The foot placement mechanism also includes an extension extending outwardly from the foot placement mechanism in a direction generally parallel to the top surface. The first surface of the upper is in contact with the top surface in a localized area proximate to the extension. A securing mechanism is used to secure the upper to the foot placement mechanism in the area proximate to where the first surface contacts the top surface. A sole is then secured to the bottom surface. Preferably, vulcanized rubber is in contact with the sole and bottom surface for securing the sole to the bottom surface by vulcanization.
