Note: **
- Turn shoes are stitched together inside-out. The leather is then soaked with water, and they are turned right-side-to. Hence the name "turn" shoes. [1]
- Veldt-shoe, originally a South African shoe of untanned hide made so that the edges of the upper were turned outwards to form a flange which was generally made inside out with upper and sole attached to one another by thonging or thread stitching; the lasting margin of the upper was sewn to a sole composed of only one layer of material so that, when the shoe was turned right side out, the seam was inside as was also the flesh side of the leather.
