Men's Canvas Slip-On Sneakers from China

These casual slip-on sneakers for men feature uppers made predominantly of plastic-coated canvas, where over 90% of the external surface area is rubber or plastics material. The flexible rubber/plastic outer sole provides everyday comfort and traction. This classification applies due to the high rubber/plastics content in the upper per Chapter Note 4(a).
