Abstract
There is provided a shoe upper that can be produced with high productivity. A heel cover portion () and a body portion () of a shoe upper () are integrally formed in a seamless manner by a knitting pattern. In the top section, a portion having a knitting width of greater than or equal to a predetermined width from an upper end to a lower end, at a position corresponding to a heel of a wearer, is assumed as the heel cover portion (), and a portion including a remaining portion of the top section, excluding the heel cover portion (), and the bottom section is assumed as the body portion (), where an end in a knitting width direction of the heel cover portion () and an end in a wale direction of the body portion () are connected at positions of edges (L, L) on a side surface of the shoe upper () of the edges (Lto L) to become the boundary lines of the heel cover portion () and the body portion (). As a result, directions of stitches of the heel cover portion () and the body portion () are oriented in a height direction and a length direction, respectively, of the shoe upper (), whereby a three-dimensional shoe upper () is obtained.
