What is a stitch-down construction?!
The stitch-down construction is the construction where the upper is sewn to the midsole (a middle part of the shoe sole) or to the shoe sole without the welt.
The upper of the shoe in stitch-down construction is pulled out over the midsole and it is attached with stitches to the midsole or outsole while the lining is attached to the insole. In other words, the edge of the upper is used as a welt.

Benefits of the stitch-down construction
This type of shoe construction has many advantages over all other shoe constructions:
* It is strong and long-lasting as well as welted shoe construction, but the stitch-down construction is much easier to create than welted construction
* Due to its simple technique, stitch-down construction will be very easy to learn for beginners in shoemaking
* The stitch down technique is much stronger than cemented construction and its very easy to repair than all other known shoe constructions
* It is mostly used in heavy boots but you can apply it in making any other shoe type if you want to have strong and lasting long time footwear
Note: Like with all my courses. You learn one technique but apply it everywhere
