Roll of blue

Hi

The man were dressed in blue, of the same shade as their hats, and wore well-polished boots with a deep roll of blue at the tops.

What is a "roll of blue"?
  

Top answer

Sound like the material of the boots was flexible enough to be folded over itself at the top, forming a sort of cuff, or roll. If this was blue, you might call it a "roll of blue".

Which part is the "top"? The roll is a curl over the fingers? Or it could be also a cuff at the leg part?

KironWhich part is the "top"?
The top is the opposite from the bottom, and the bottom is what you walk on. Go to this site and find "Trendy wellington boots with a roll down collar".
