I saw this in a Japanese shoemaker blog, what kind of construction is this?
^ It's just whip-stitched in preparation for a cement sole or a pegged sole.
In England this is called 'braced'. It is also possible this shoe was prepared for a trial. - A 'braced' trial shoe is easier altered (if it is necessary), than a trial shoe that is fully welted.
