They are designed specifically for men with no laces or buckles.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If uppers are man-made textile fibers instead of vegetable fibers
Vegetable fiber uppers specifically trigger 6404.19.36; synthetic or other textile uppers fall under the general 'other' category.
If outer sole has foxing or foxing-like band of rubber/plastics overlapping upper
Presence of foxing band wholly or almost wholly of rubber/plastics excludes from 6404.19.36 and moves to waterproof footwear provisions.
If valued over $2.50 per pair but otherwise matching
Higher-value threshold pairs are classified separately under 6404.19.20, regardless of material details.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the upper's external surface area is predominantly vegetable fibers like bamboo per Chapter Note 4(a), documenting fiber content with lab tests
• Confirm outer sole textile coverage exceeds other materials in ground contact, excluding non-durable textiles per U.S
• Note 5; retain sole blueprints
• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring no foxing band overlaps the upper, as this shifts classification to other subheadings
