The upper edge or rim of a boot where it ends on the leg. Boottops can be decorated or styled in different ways.
From 'boot' + 'top' (Old English 'topp'). The compound emerged in English as a descriptive term for the visible upper edge of the boot.
Fashion designers go wild with boottop designs—some have fur trim, some are lacy, some fold over to show contrasting fabric inside! The boottop of a cowboy boot is actually one of the most decorated parts, sometimes with elaborate stitching patterns.
