The shoes are built with a trial-ready design that incorporates a [Vibram sole](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibram-mash-field-boot-gtx) on the bottom along with a leather and suede upper that's paired with [GORE-TEX to ensure a weatherproof finish](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goretex-gazelle). A series of pull tabs on the rear of the boots allow for easily putting them on and taking them off. The Clarks Wallabee 2.0 GTX boots come with two sets of laces for enhanced personalization and come in several finish options to make them suited for personal style preferences. The boots are comfortable and casual enough for everyday wear, while still being suited for nights out. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Winterized Comfort-focused Boots:** Opportunity for brands to expand offerings with winterized and weatherproof versions of their popular shoe styles. - **Vibram Soles:** Opportunity for shoe brands to collaborate with Vibram on rugged, trail-ready footwear designs. - **GORE-TEX Finish:** Opportunity for outdoor apparel brands to incorporate GORE-TEX technology into their products for weatherproofing and durability. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Footwear:** Footwear brands can expand their offerings with winterized and trail-ready versions of popular shoe styles. - **Outdoor Apparel:** Brands can incorporate GORE-TEX technology into clothing and accessories for weatherproofing and durability. - **Sporting Goods:** Collaboration with Vibram can bring rugged, trail-ready footwear designs for hiking and outdoor activities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Weatherized Collaborative Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallabee-gtx-sp.md) - [Sleek Moccasin Sneaker Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/walla-eden-lo.md) - [Collaborative Suede Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clarks-wallabee-boot.md) - [Reimagined Suede Classic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invincible-x-clarks.md) - [Black Waterproof Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hencroft-madi-waterproof-boots.md) - [Textured Casual Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirddy-x-clarks.md) - [Rugged Collaborative Trail Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibram-mash-field-boot-gtx.md) - [Collaborative UK-Inspired Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haven-and-clarks.md) - [Carabiner-Equipped Hiking Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grip-swany-x-timberland-boots.md)
