instep
Where shoelaces rest
The instep is the arched upper surface of the foot between the toes and the ankle.
It's the part covered by shoelaces on a lace-up shoe.
In footwear, instep refers to the portion of a shoe or boot that covers this area: These boots have a high instep.
A high or low instep affects shoe fit.
