Abstract

The invention relates to an upper assembly (10) for footwear (100), comprising an upper (14) having a sole-sided upper end region, and an upper bottom (16). The sole-sided upper end region is joined to the upper bottom (16). The upper (14) includes an outer material layer (18) having a sole-sided outer material end region (18a), and an upper liner (20). The upper bottom (16) comprises a first water vapor permeable assembly sole (30) and an upper bottom laminate (32) including a first water vapor permeable and waterproof functional layer (34). The outer material layer (18) in the sole-sided outer material end region (18a) is joined to the first water vapor permeable assembly sole (30). The first assembly sole (30) and/or the sole-sided outer material end region (18a) of the upper (14) comprises at least one moisture transporting structure (54) adapted to transport moisture away from a first region (A) between the outer material layer (18) and the upper liner (20) of the upper (14) and/or between an outer peripheral part of the first outer assembly sole (30) and the upper liner (20) of the upper (14), to a second region (B) underneath the upper bottom functional layer (34).
