To the shoe experts out there, eg Bengal-Stripe and A.Harris:
How can you tell whether a shoe is made via the "Blake" or "Goodyear" method? Some "BLakes" are made with channelled construction (is that the right terminology when the stitches at the sole is covered?), while some are not. The same with "Goodyear" shoes. The same goes for the interior where some shoes have the stitchings visible inside and some are hidden.
I have seen many shoes that are made via "Goodyear" and many look different in the upper/sole interface, so how can you tell?
