You have submitted a sample identified as style 538008, a black & white wrestling boot with an outer sole of rubber/plastics and an upper identified as 57% leather, 34% textile and 9% synthetic (rubber/plastics) material. The boot covers the ankle and is secured to the foot by a lace-tie closure system and a hook & loop ankle strap. This ruling also applies to style 538009, 538010 and 538011 which you indicate are the same shoe in different color combinations.

The applicable subheading for the wrestling boots will be 6403.19.40 Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), which provides for footwear with outer soles of rubber or plastics and uppers of predominantly leather: sports footwear: other: for men, youths and boys, other.
