| | ibabaw na bahagi ng sapatos na gawa sa abaka | Explanation:
Using only the term pang-ibabaw seems incomplete. (Pang-ibabaw ng ?)Since there are only two choices: to leave "upper" as is - in English since it's too technical or translate the definition of upper or vamp to Tagalog. |

Explanation:
Vamp, or upper
Any shoe has an upper part that helps hold the shoe onto the foot. In the simplest cases, such as sandals or flip flops, this may be nothing more than a few straps for holding the sole in place. Closed footwear, such as boots, sneakers and most men's shoes, will have a more complex upper. This part is often decorated or is made in a certain style to look attractive. The U.S. Patent 3,355,535 , from 1967, describes a method for producing a shoe-upper (Hain 1967).
