Last updated: July 2026 dataLeather-soled footwear with textile uppers — a combination found in certain dress casual shoes, espadrilles with leather soles, and traditional craft footwear — occupies a narrower commercial niche than its rubber-sole counterpart but carries distinct classification and duty implications. The pairing of a leather or composition leather outer sole with a textile upper is the defining material combination, and importers must verify both components independently. This heading is often relevant for artisan or heritage footwear styles sourced from Mediterranean and Latin American producers.

Espadrilles traditionally have jute or rope soles, which would not qualify as leather or composition leather. However, espadrille-inspired styles with a genuine leather or composition leather outer sole and a textile upper would fall under this heading, provided no more specific classification applies. The sole material must be confirmed by the manufacturer.
The sole material is the sole distinguishing criterion: this heading requires an outer sole of leather or composition leather, while the parallel heading covers rubber or plastic outer soles. The upper material — textile — is the same in both. Importers sourcing similar styles from different factories should verify sole composition, as it directly determines the applicable tariff line.
