GEORGE GREGG, GEORGE ARTHUR GREGG, and OLIVER GREGG, all of No. 2,
Hockley, Nottingham, Boot Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of our
said invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in and relating to shoes of the kind
known as "Veldtschoen" which are generally made without a lining and with
the upper turned outwards and sewn to the sole between the latter and a welt,
but shoes so made,-particularly of the lighter kind, soon lose their shape and
are uncomfortable to wear.
The object of this invention is improvements in the construction of the shoe
whereby the objections to the present shoe are overcome.
According to this invention the shoe is provided with a lining which is cemented
to the upper and is also provided with an insole and a sole. The lining at the
sole part of the shoe is turned inwards and secured to the insole, while the upper
is turned outwards and secured to the sole between the latter and a welt, while
the insole and lining are cemented to the sole. At the heel portion of the shoe
the insole is divided and the lining and upper are placed between the divided
insole. The sole is then secured to the under portion of the divided insole and
the heel lifts are secured to the sole in the usual manner.

Improvements in and relating to Shoes.
GEORGE GREGG, GEORGE ARTHUR GREGG, and OLIVER GREGG, all of No. 2,
Hockley, Nottingham, Boot Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:
66 Veldt-
This invention relates to improvements in shoes of the kind known as
schoen" and generally made without a lining or an insole, and with the upper
turned outwards and sewn to the sole between the latter and a welt. These shoes
however soon lose their shape, and are uncomfortable to wear.
The object of this invention is improvements in the construction of "Veldt-
schoen" shoes whereby the objections to the present shoes are overcome, and these
improvements are hereafter described with reference to the accompanying drawing
which shows a shoe partly in sections constructed according to this invention.

page_text: The shoe upper a, and its lining bare cemented together except at the edges
of the same, and the lining is turned inwards all round the shoe and cemented to
the insole c. The upper a from about the point a¹ on one side of the shoe to a
similar point on the other side of the shoe is bent outwards and sewn to the sole e
between the latter and a welt d. The sole is also cemented to the insole and to
the inturned edges of the lining.
For the heel portion of the shoe the edges of the upper are cut at about the
points marked a¹ and are turned inwards from these points so that the edges of
the front part of the upper are turned outwards and the edges of heel part of the
upper turned inwards. In the heel shown the upper a, lining b and a heel
stiffener g are all bent inwards, and are lasted to the insole in the usual manner
an extra heel piece f'being inserted as shown. The heel lifts are then added and
the shoe finished according to the usual method.
For the parts cemented together india rubber solution Para cement or other
similar material may be used.
When Veldtschoen shoes are constructed according to the method herein
described they have all advantages of shoes constructed according to the ordinary
method, and are in addition much firmer and less likely to lose their shape.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:-
A Veldtschoen shoe provided with an insole and lining and in which the front
part is constructed in the manner substantially as herein described with reference
to the accompanying drawing.
