6404.19.77.90 - Other

This classification pertains to footwear specifically designed for men, featuring outer soles made of rubber or plastics. The uppers of these shoes are constructed from textile materials, excluding vegetable fibers. A key defining characteristic is that the textile material forming the outer sole comprises the greatest surface area in contact with the ground, and this textile sole material is not subject to the specifications outlined in additional U.S. note 5 to Chapter 64.

This category serves as a catch-all for men's footwear under this specific sub-heading that does not fit into more narrowly defined subcategories. It is distinguished from its sibling categories by its focus on footwear designated for men. For instance, if the footwear were intended for women, it would be classified under 6404.19.77.60.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subdivisions beneath this specific code. Therefore, classification into this category relies on a precise adherence to all preceding criteria: the outer sole material (rubber or plastics), the upper material (textile other than vegetable fibers), the intended gender of the wearer (men), and the specific configuration of the outer sole's textile component as defined by the chapter's additional notes. Examples of footwear that might fall here include casual shoes, athletic shoes, or work boots meeting these material and construction requirements.
