Men's Pigskin Leather Ankle Boots from Japan
These men's ankle boots feature uppers made primarily from pigskin leather, with outer soles of composition leather, covering the ankle for style and protection. They fall under HTS 6403.51.60.15 because the pigskin constitutes the greatest external surface area of the upper, soles are leather-based, and designed specifically for men.
