Tiny shoes for kids are pretty adorable as is, but the bows on the back of these primary-colored gumboots make them even sweeter. The ‘Timber & Tamber’ rain boots are made by the ‘Secret Door.Co’ in Melbourne, a company that aims to be mindful of their environmental impact. For this reason, its gumboots are made of [natural rubber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterproof-rubber-boot) with cotton lining. You might think that the pretty lace-up bow might get ruined in the rain and mud, but the shoe has been designed for durability. The bow is made of 100% stain resistant polyester and has rust-resistant eyelits, so kids can jump in puddles to their heart’s content. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Eco-friendly Children's Products:** Opportunity to design and create more children's products using natural materials to reduce environmental impact. - **Adorable Rainwear:** Opportunity to innovate and create cute and stylish rainwear for kids with added design elements. - **Sustainable Fashion for Children:** Opportunity to focus on sustainable fashion for children by using eco-friendly materials and manufacturing processes. ### Where This Applies - **Children's Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the children's fashion industry to create eco-friendly and stylish clothing and accessories. - **Outdoor Gear:** Opportunity for disruption in the outdoor gear industry by developing eco-friendly and durable rainwear for kids. - **E-commerce:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in the e-commerce industry to promote and sell eco-friendly children's products to a wider audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rubberized Weatherproof Boot Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-martens-1460-rain-boots.md) - [Waterproof Classic Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1460-rain-boot.md) - [Romantic Winter Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stone-street-6inch-platform-waterproof-boot.md) - [Sustainable Winter-Ready Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timberland-2.md) - [Supportive Children’s Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wander-shoe.md) - [Earthy Toned Waterproof Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/targhee-iv.md) - [Over-Knee Water-Repellent Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/overknee-waterrepellent-boots.md) - [Sustainable Adapting Shoe Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-shoe.md) - [Eco-Friendly Biker Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-kneehigh-biker-boots.md)
