<p>A lasting piece of shrinkable, preferably oriented thermoplastic polymeric material is attached, preferably by stitching, to a shoe upper lasting margin and is shrunk by being heated, if it is thermoplastic, to between its glass transition temperature and melting point. Shrinkage of the lasting piece lasts the shoe upper to the last. The lasting piece can be a lasting string, endless band or strip, or a sheet, web, net or welt. Lasted shoe uppers and articles of footwear are produced by the above method.</p> |
