A welt sole 5 extending as far as the heel or covering the entire sole bottom is then applied ; after removing the last, the connected parts are cut through lengthways of the sole, as shown at 7, the front of the cut ending in a fork. The cut may pass obliquely through the sole. The arm 8, Fig. 4, of the sewing-machine is passed through the slit 7, and one or more seams 9 are sewn to connect all the parts ; the arm is then removed and the slit 7 closed, either by stitching, or by means of a thin strip or a sole-shaped piece of thin leather. The outer sole 12, Fig. 9, previously prepared for stitching, is then sewn to the projecting edge of the welt-sole, either by the machine or by hand. After this the lining is inserted, but is left loose at the toe and heel portions of its lower edge so that the stiffeners 16, 17 can be placed under it. The heel is then secured from the inside by screws 18 passing through the stiffener 17, and finally the boot is socked. For very heavy boots, a double sole is used, the welt and outer soles being provided at their edges with another row of perforations. The additional sole may be secured by hand sewing, or by tacks inserted through the perforations and clinched by pliers. The tacks have long and narrow heads to give the boot the appearance of having been stitched. The waist edge of the sole is secured by screws. In boots that are not lined, a small piece of leather is used to cover the upright part of the heel stiffener.
