The [furry texture on the footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fuzzy-collection) is the result of using dyed cow hair. These adorable shoes use haircalf from Brazil to make their design really stand out. The sole of the shoes are leather with a black canvas outline at the very top. The bottom is non-slip rubber. These shoes are supremely white and chic. They will jazz up any outfit and will look very flattering with a pair of knitted herringbone shorts and black tights. Cute as they are, if you are uncomfortable with the thought of cow hair being a design element on your shoes, then you can choose to admire them from afar. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Cow Hair Fashion:** The use of cow hair in fashion design is gaining popularity, presenting opportunities for sustainable materials and unique textures. - **Slip-on Footwear:** Slip-on shoes are on-trend for their convenience and comfort, leading to opportunities for fashion and footwear brands to explore innovative designs. - **Farm-inspired Fashion:** Farm-inspired fashion is making a comeback, with designers incorporating rustic elements into their collections and creating opportunities for new and unique fashion styles. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can explore incorporating cow hair and farm-inspired elements into their collections for unique and sustainable designs. - **Footwear:** Footwear brands can capitalize on the trend of slip-on shoes and explore using sustainable materials like cow hair for interesting textures and design elements. - **Sustainable Materials:** The use of cow hair as a sustainable and unique material in fashion and footwear presents opportunities for innovative design and material solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cow Print High-Top Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rasant-mid.md) - [Chic Perforated Flats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perforated-flats.md) - [Chic Ballet Mesh Flats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreaming-ballet-mesh-flats.md) - [Faux Fur-Animal Print Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samba-lt-1.md) - [Cow Print Textural Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superstar-dress.md) - [Fully Faux Fur-Lined Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodle-fur.md) - [Pastel-Colored Valentine’s Day Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heydude-x-sweethearts-collection.md) - [Seasonally Appropriate Footwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petals-pearls.md) - [Romantic Sneaker Releases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-heartstep.md)
