You're welcome Funny coincidence that my 'neighbor the shoe salesman' finally came to some use...He's the Swe agent for a US shoe company (sells to the president, of all things). He's always telling shoe stories and 'pegging' me for Eng terms...;-)

peg

Looks like what this is about 'peg' the upper and sole together, for some fun reading, see https://www.osv.org/19th-century-shoe-making

Do you have more context? This says pegged shoes were not stitched...

Take a look at this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8Vo_DgamX0, this came up with "peg" + "shoe making" good handiwork...
Note from asker:
Thank you very much for this! It mentions "bottoming" as well (when I had settled for "attaching the bottom/sole and heel" I found this in Swedish: -Pinna dvs. fästa en ovandel på läst. http://www.kavat.se/products/skomakardag-5-oktober So I assume it makes sense that it is either "pegged" OR stitched.
Thank you very much for all your help! :)
