An upper material is pressed so as to produce a plurality of separate areas ( ) raised relative to the outer face of the upper ( ) and corresponding to the mounting positions of lacing hooks or eyes ( ), and a plastics material having good flexibility and resistance to tension and bending is joined to the rear face of the upper material to produce a semi-finished upper which gives rise, in the final footwear, to greater softness and to an improved ability of the upper to bend in response to the stresses applied to the upper by the foot in use in the regions interposed between those in which the lacing eyes or hooks ( ) are fixed.
