Which code does this activity belong in?
Footwear merchant wholesalers distribute shoes and other footwear made from leather, rubber, and comparable materials. This code covers the wholesale distribution of footwear itself, whereas merchant wholesalers of women's, children's, and infants' clothing and accessories are classified separately even when they handle footwear-related items like shoe accessories. Establishments focused on distributing piece goods and notions for manufacturing, or those wholesaling apparel and clothing furnishings, belong in different categories.
