# Boot/Clog Hybrids Free People Show off a Dramatic Shoe Design for March 2010 By Rachel | Published 2010-03-12 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floral-slouch-clog References: [jezebel](http://jezebel.com/5491126/free-people--the-ugliest-shoes-ever-conceived) & [freepeople](http://www.freepeople.com/shoes-new-shoes/floral-slouch-clog/) Free People is making some waves with a particular featured shoe designed by Irregular Choice. The Floral Slouch Clog may perhaps be just that, an irregular choice. The 5-inch clog is covered in floral fabric, buckles and has an open toe. From the moment I saw these babies I was dying to show them off, so whether you love them or hate them they're definitely worth talking about. What's more, the Floral Slouch Clog sells for $265. The Free People website calls them fabulous; I call them curious. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Hybrid Footwear:** Fashion and footwear brands can innovate by creating more hybrid designs like the Floral Slouch Clog. - **Dramatic Design:** There is an opportunity for fashion brands to create more dramatic designs that are worth talking about. - **Bold Color and Patterns:** Fashion designers and brands can create more unique shoes with bold colors and patterns to seize consumer attention. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Footwear Industry:** As the footwear industry continues to expand, there is room for innovation through the introduction of more hybrid designs and dramatic, unique styles. - **Fashion Industry:** The fashion industry can benefit from increased experimentation with bold colors, patterns, and unique design elements to create statement pieces. - **Retail Industry:** Retailers can appeal to consumers looking for unique and attention-grabbing products by offering daring footwear options like the Floral Slouch Clog. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Beweled Fashion Forward Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simone-rocha-2.md) - [Frog Inspired Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frog-clog.md) - [Patterned Floral Gardening Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gardening-clog.md) - [Stylish Platform Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bae-clog.md) - [Creature-Themed Amphibian Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/esenes-worldwide-frog-clogs.md) - [Chunky Multi-Color Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubble-crush-clog.md) - [Futuristic Sculptural Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vans-future-clog.md) - [Australia-Honoring Clog Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/streetx-x-crocs-classic-clog.md) - [Perforated Slip-On Mary Janes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mary-jane-clog.md)
