6404.11.90.50 - Other

This HTS subcategory, 6404.11.90.50, encompasses women's sports footwear with outer soles of rubber or plastics and uppers of textile materials, specifically those valued at over $12 per pair, which are not otherwise specified. This classification applies to a broad range of athletic and casual footwear designed for women, where the primary design and intended use lean towards sporting activities or similar athletic pursuits. Examples include running shoes, walking shoes, cross-training shoes, and other similar footwear where textile materials form the principal component of the upper part of the shoe.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its sibling, 6404.11.90.40, which is reserved for specialized winter sports footwear such as ski boots, cross-country ski footwear, and snowboard boots. While both fall under general sports footwear, 6404.11.90.50 is for items not specifically designated for extreme cold-weather snow sports. The distinction relies on the intended use and design features specific to each type of sport.

As this classification is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus for classification within 6404.11.90.50 rests on confirming that the footwear meets the criteria of being women's sports footwear, with rubber or plastic outer soles, textile uppers, and a value exceeding $12 per pair, and is not specifically covered by more narrowly defined categories like ski boots. The "Other" designation at this level signifies that it captures all remaining eligible footwear not already accounted for by more specific sibling categories.
