Première de montage

Thank you for your kind remark. Have a nice day!

Sorry that you`ve abandoned ship, so to speak.
I`ve had contact with Barbara for at least 10 years. She is most professional and more than willing to help. Don`t think you have helped your cause by these comments. Have a good day, Chris.

What a mean thing to say. You did not get what I explained. Does not matter. I will take my answers away because helping is what I need, not the points. Have a good day madam Finch.

It's OK, I'm perfectly happy for you to have the points, as that is clearly what you need.

Thanks for info re Goodyear. I`d only copied original text. I have used Goodyear in my target. Why not enter an answer to this question?

it's "Goodyear" [same as the brand of tyres], not "good year"

"Montage Goodyear intercalaire caoutchouc 4 mm."

Not really misleading as, were my answer selected, I would obviously change the header term for the KOG. Note that, once I realised why the header term I originally posted was wrong, I explained why the French term "première de montage" was a logical name for the insole, i.e. it would be the first component put onto the last.

You asked "I was just wondering, since your conclusion was the same as mine, why did you maintain your answer, instead of deleting it?" You posted your answer AFTER I had reached that conclusion and added my note in which I wrote "According to these two pictures, the "première de montage" is the insole!" So, while my header term was wrong, I had corrected the error in my note where I suggested the very answer that you subsequently posted. Also, I happen to think that it is more honest not to delete a wrong answer, unless leaving it is liable to mislead people.

There are several different layers in this boot, so an intermediate or base layer/sole might fit the bill.
Off to bed, I`ll put thinking cap back on in the morning.
Thanks to all, Chris.

"première de montage" is strictly speaking only for sure a kind of "base layer" ("mounting layer") on which are added more layers ending with the external hard-wearing outsoles.

In many shoes / boots you also have on the inside another additional layer that is the "insole" in contact with the foot.

Brilliant.
Will go and get my specs.

Don`t think this is much different to what I put.
Only info I can add is it is a fireman`s boot and this is in a catalogue

I could be wrong, but how about adding some punctuation to help with the parsing:
Première: de montage gravurée, cuir fleur.

"Gravure : incision pratiquée au tranchet en artisanat, à la machine à gravurer en industrie. Elle permet de cacher et de protéger la couture de tenue de la semelle, ( petit points, blake )"

By first sole, do you mean inner sole?
