Genuine leather isn't redundant. If the hosts are using the term in the correct manner it means leather without the grain - the part of the hide that was used to make the article is a matter of classifying types of leather.

This has been a very informative thread and I learned a lot from it. Now I better understand why leather is offered at different price points. I guess we get what we pay for the majority of times.Genuine leather isn't redundant.

SR: That's why you see many leather articles stamped "Genuine", like belts and handbags. Not sure I have ever owned a top grain leather item. lol

I have boots that were sold as leather, the top layer peeled. When I read the description, it didn't say leather uppers, so I assumed the whole boot was leather.

Doesn't leather upper mean the body of the shoe is leather and not the sole and heel?

I thought it meant that only the shaft and the top of the boot was leather, not the toe part.
Maybe I am confused.
