Cross-section Moccasin construction

The upper material (1) is stretched around  the last and is sewn together on top of the  shoe, with a hand stitch. A strengthening shank   (cambreur) (3) is placed on the inside of the  upper. A sole (the sole in between) (4) is glued  to the upper material (1), after which the last is  extracted from the shoe. The sole in between (4)  is sewn to the upper material (1) from the inside,  with an inner stitch (2). The outersole (5) is being  attached to the sole in between (4) with glue.  There is also a possibility to sew the inner stitch  (2) through the outersole (5), as wel as the  upper material (1) and the sole in between (4).
