What is Upper Leather?
Upper leather refers to the leather material used on the upper part of the shoe. Here, "upper" refers to the upper and side parts of the shoe, and "leather" means leather. Upper leather is an important material that greatly determines the appearance and durability of the shoe.
The main leathers used for uppers include cowhide, horsehide, pigskin, sheepskin, and goatskin. Each leather has different characteristics and is chosen according to the design and purpose of the shoe. For example, cowhide is highly durable and has a firm texture. On the other hand, sheepskin and goatskin are flexible and provide a lighter feel.
The upper leather may also be artificial leather, which is made from synthetic materials and mimics the look and feel of natural leather, but at a lower cost.
Upper leather is a key element in shoe design, having a major impact on durability and comfort as well as aesthetics.
