# Naughty Footwear These 'Bed Shoes' Are Made for Whipping By Cowbag | Published 2009-04-30 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bed-shoes-these-shoes-are-made-for-whipping References: [cakeheadlovesevil](http://cakeheadlovesevil.wordpress.com/2009/04/30/bed-shoes-by-isakaos/) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17372643) These shoes are clearly meant for the bedroom only--the whips that protrude from each toe make it impossible to walk in them even if you wanted to. These [beautifully-made 'Bed Shoes'](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-shoe) are from Etsy user Isakaos and, of course, are totally sold out. Many so-called '[fetish' shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/john-fluevog) are unaesthetic and horrible to look at--I can only hope that other designers will follow in the footsteps of this one. **Implications** - Modern society is one that is highly sexualized in nature. Images, ads and fashions that were once considered too naughty or risque for public consumption are now driving the consumer world of those eager to push the boundaries. The fascination with bondage and other fetishes that were once bedroom secrets extends so far into the public sphere of today's market. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sexualized Society:** Opportunity for businesses to capitalize on the consumer desire for naughty and risque products that push the boundaries. - **Aesthetic Fetish Fashion:** Demand for beautifully-designed fetish shoes opens up the market for designers to create more stylish and visually appealing options. - **Public Acceptance of Fetishes:** Growth in the acceptance of fetishes as a part of mainstream culture creates opportunities for businesses to cater to this market openly. ### Who This Affects Most - **Adult Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop and market high-quality fetish products that cater to the growing demand in the adult entertainment industry. - **Fashion and Footwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design fashionable fetish shoes that embrace aesthetics without compromising on functionality, allowing customers to make bold fashion statements. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Help brands incorporate risque or taboo elements into their marketing campaigns to tap into the consumer desire for edgy and provocative content. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Eye-Adorned Furry Mules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eyeball-mules.md) - [Bigfoot-Inspired Bizarre Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ninlo.md) - [Platform Statement Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/8inch-flipflops.md) - [Fuzzy Dynamic Collaborative Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/five-finger-shoe.md) - [Pool Slide Heeled Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipped-flop.md) - [Concrete Brick-Themed Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/he-she-brick-slippers.md) - [Sleek Western Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naked-wolfes-stark-boot.md) - [Romanticized Shoe Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mademe-x-dr-martens-1461-quad-shoe.md) - [Kidult Baby Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-baby.md)
