There is provided a binding strip for shoes comprising a long strip of leather having marginal portions of substantially uniform thickness and one or more laterally arcuate portions of reduced thickness disposed between the marginal portions; the reduced portion may be passed between rollers which cooperate to crush or break the leather fibers in order to render the binding still more compliant, the result being that the strip may be over-folded about the margin of an element of the shoe upper in such fashion as to provide a smooth wrinkle-free binding of pleasing appearance.
