Upper

What is the upper of a boot?

It is the most visible part of the boot. The shell is the most aesthetic element of the boot. It comprises designs, colours and part of the technology.
However, the importance of the upper goes far beyond that. It is the part of the boot that determines the style of the boot depending on its material (natural or synthetic), its weight, the presence or absence of stitching and the direction of the lacing.
