6404.19.15.20 - For men

This HTS classification covers men's footwear where the outer sole is constructed from rubber or plastics, and the upper is primarily composed of textile materials. A key defining characteristic is that over 50 percent of the external surface area of the upper, including any leather accessories or reinforcements as outlined in Chapter 64, Note 4(a), must be leather. This ensures that while the dominant upper material is textile, a significant portion is also leather.

This specific subcategory is distinguished from its sibling category, 6404.19.15.60, by its intended wearer. While both share the same outer sole and primary textile upper construction with significant leather content, 6404.19.15.20 is exclusively for men's footwear. The sibling category 6404.19.15.81, "Other," would encompass footwear not specifically designated for men or women within this particular breakdown.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 6404.19.15.20 is final and depends on the adherence to the specified material composition and the intended gender of the footwear. Examples of footwear that would fall here include men's athletic shoes, casual sneakers, or walking shoes that meet the described material percentages for their uppers and have rubber or plastic outer soles.
