Saint Crispin's, Passus, Cowboy Boot makers and I guess some others use pegs for the waist. Vass Budapest also uses them for the heels and to attach the piece that covesr the shank.

It’s cheaper than welted shoes and looks nice, but guess that’s about it. It’s an old traditional method to make solid but cheaper shoes (couldn’t only cement shoes since the cement wasn’t strong enough those days), was common among many of the combined cobblers/shoemakers that were found in every small village and in huge numbers in every town around the world back in the days and who made shoes for all the local folks.
