FIELD: personal use articles.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the structure (22) of a footwear article top (2) that contains a top area (23) with a layer of face material (24) permeable for water vapour, such layer containing the bottom end section with the top functional layer laminate (26), impermeable for water but permeable for water vapour, the functional layer having the bottom end section, the top underside (34) with the top functional layer laminate (38) that has a lateral end section. The bottom end section of the top (23) is connected to the lateral end section of the top underside (34); the top underside functional layer laminate (38) is represented by a multi-layered laminate containing a functional layer, impermeable for water but permeable for water vapour (40) (positioned at the very bottom) and a textile layer permeable for water vapour positioned over the latter (42).
EFFECT: moisture removal into the sole area to maintain water-impermeability.
