Spanish term or phrase: Vista
I'm translating product descriptions for boots and one of them mentions "Planta y vista de forro en piel LWG". I've googled "vista" and found images of what it refers to but I have no idea what that's called in English, does anyone know?

Reference

Reference information:
When talking about clothes, 'vista' is facing. In this case, I think the term could refer to 'top edge/band' or 'collar'. It depends on the style of boot: ankle boots, hiking boots, knee boots, etc.
