uppers

Today, historic fixer-uppers range from early 20th century bungalows to mid-century ranch homes.

Milan has been awash with aesthetic uppers such as floral prints, sun-drenched colors, and easy shapes.

They were perfectly flat and had only uppers enough to encase two or three toes.

The uppers are cut by hand from the engraved sheets, while metal patterns are used on the plain stock.

The sheets of rubber from which the uppers and soles are cut are at this stage of the work plastic and very sticky.

Sometimes a brother or other relative of these "hands-uppers" would call on them.

Then he took them up and examined the line of junction of the uppers with the soles.
