Blake construction is a method of making shoes invented in 1856 by Lyman Reed Blake.[1]
It is especially popular in Italy.[2] In a Blake construction, the outer sole is directly stitched to the insole with a chain stitch. This allows more flexibility and lighter weight compared to the sturdier Goodyear construction, which is more common among British shoemakers such Crockett & Jones and Sanders.
