The sandals come in two different silhouettes: the Boak-V and the Moto-VS. The latter is a [slip-on](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comfort-recovery-slide), however its thick straps and adjustable components make it both comfortable and secure. On the other hand, the Boak-V is a little more statement-worthy, as it has straps that go across the feet and ankles to generate a bit of a gladiator aesthetic. Supporting all of the chunky sandals are [thick platform soles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ugg-goldenrise), which make them supportive, durable, and well-cushioned. Due to this, consumers can sport the sandals virtually anywhere -- from city sidewalks to sandy beaches. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Chunky Sandals:** Opportunity for innovative design and comfort-focused features in the sandal industry. - **Collaborative Partnerships:** Opportunity for brands to collaborate and create unique products that cater to specific demographics. - **Platform Soles:** Opportunity to create supportive and durable footwear across various industries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Footwear:** The footwear industry can explore the trend of chunky sandals and develop new designs and materials for increased comfort. - **Fashion:** Collaborative partnerships between fashion brands can lead to the creation of unique and statement-worthy products, like the P.A.M. and SUICOKE sandals. - **Outdoor Recreation:** The outdoor recreation industry can incorporate platform soles in their footwear for enhanced support and comfort during outdoor activities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Unique Platform-Style Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platformstyle-sandals.md) - [Dynamic Chunky Branded Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adilette-22-xlg.md) - [Cozy Collaborative Faux-Fur Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/belt-sandal.md) - [Summer-Ready Comfortable Sandal Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandal-designs.md) - [Platform Statement Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/8inch-flipflops.md) - [Collaborative Pocketed Reflective Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflective-sandal.md) - [Versatile Handmade Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handmade-sandals.md) - [Pavement Brick Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unipaver.md) - [Puffy Technical Winter Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibram-furoshiki.md)
