Abstract
A footwear construction including a midsole joined with an upper and an outsole secured to a bottom surface of the midsole. The midsole is direct attached to the upper with a process that forms flashing along the length of the shoe substantially only on the bottom surface of the midsole, but not the sidewalls of the midsole. This flashing is trimmed to form trim lines, which are concealed simply by securing an outsole to the bottom surface of the midsole.
