Leather-Sided Textile Running Shoes from United States
These athletic running shoes have a textile mesh upper sided by leather panels covering over 50% of the external surface, and a rubber sole. Not considered sports footwear per Chapter 64 Subheading Note 1, as they lack spikes or similar attachments. Under Chapter 64 Note 4(a), the upper's material is determined by greatest external surface area, so leather dominates; however, since the upper is not wholly leather, the item falls under 6404.19.90 as 'Other' footwear with textile uppers and rubber soles.
