Construction where some or all of the upper is flared out around the featherline, forming a flange that is then rapid stitched to the bottom
Stitchdown is common in a few kinds of shoes:
- relatively simple, mass-market shoes, such as Clarks Desert Boots
- South African veldskoen
- Pacific Northwest work boots
White’s Boots offers boots with a variant of stitchdown where the insole is channeled and feathered and a welt is sewn on, then turned out with the upper and stitched down.
