Abstract
A footwear assembly with an insole assembly having a heel insole board above a midsole and a bifit insole board, which has a heel portion that is stiffer than a forefoot portion. The bottom edge flanges of the upper wrap around the sides of the bifit insole board's heel portion and arch portion rearward of an attachment transition area. At least a portion of the flanges are adhered between the bifit insole board and the heel insole board. The upper's flanges are positioned adjacent to sides of the bifit insole board's forefoot portion and arch portion forward of the attachment transition area without wrapping under the bifit insole board. The upper's flanges are stitched to a top or edge of the bifit insole board's forefoot portion and arch portion forward of the attachment transition area.
