The submitted half pair sample, identified as style# F9945 “Bitty Bunny Slippers,” is you state, a girl’s house slipper with a closed-toe and an open heel.

The slipper has a man-made fiber textile material upper and a textile material faced and wrapped, approximately 1-inch thick rubber/plastic foam padded midsole. The slipper also has a molded rubber/plastic outer sole to which a layer of textile fabric material has been adhered to the outer surface. Visual examination indicates that textile is the constituent material of the outer sole with the greatest surface area in contact with the ground.
