Blake construction is a method of making shoes invented in 1856 by Lyman Reed Blake.
It is especially popular in Italy. In a Blake construction, the outer sole is directly stitched to the insole with a chain stitch this allows more flexibility and lighter weight as compared to the sturdier Goodyear construction.
