the opening between the facings of a lace-up shoe or boot
Facing gaps for open lacing often range from none at all on bespoke, more formal shoes to 20mm or even 1 inch for very heavy boots.
Facing gaps for sneakers with heavily padded tongues may range up to 100 mm or close to 4 inches.
Facing gaps are often specified as constants, without grading, or with simple, fixed allowances or reductions above or below certain sizes, for fringe sizes.
