upper part of some cowboy boots uppers in the form of an additional pierce of upper material covering the inside and outside of the waist as well as the instep
Like toe caps, saddle vamps may be patterned as either overlays over complete vamps, creating two layers of material over the waists and insteps, or as continuations of vamps that only cover the toes back to the joints. In either case, the front of the saddle vamp is typically joined to the vamp by a prominent seam.
