# No-Heel Nomad Pumps These Heelless Pumps Portray a Funky Bohemian Aesthetic By Malika Renee Butss | Published 2015-06-23 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heelless-pumps References: [amazon](http://www.amazon.com/Taylor-Says-NA-TaylorSays-Yellow/dp/B00NN08J34?tag=trenhunt0f-20) & [taylorsays](http://www.taylorsays.com/all-heels/rory-mustard-suede.html) Heelless pumps began their reign in early 2011 with designers Noritaka Tatehana and Jeffery Campbell kick-starting the innovation. Bringing back the popular style, shoe designer Taylor Reeve has given the once-hip shoe a bohemian makeover. Very similar to the festival-friendly moccasin shoe, the 'Rory' heelless pumps from Taylor Says are designed to provide that same free-spirited beauty with a chic upgrade. The upper and outer sole are made of the finest leather, which is covered with a soft mustard yellow suede. Atop the high-quality materials are exuberant details such as beaded chevron patterning, leather stitching and a simple bow. The absence of a heel allows a better look at the Native American chief illustrated on the sole. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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's Driving This Trend - **Heelless Pumps:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new materials and design elements to create unique heelless pump styles. - **Bohemian Makeover:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine bohemian aesthetics with traditional shoe designs to create a new fashion trend. - **Festival-friendly Shoes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop shoes that are comfortable for festivals while incorporating stylish and unique elements. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate innovative materials and designs into footwear to create trendy and unique styles. - **Leather Goods:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Experiment with different types of leather and finishes to create high-quality and visually appealing shoe designs. - **Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design accessories that complement and enhance the style of festival-friendly footwear, such as beaded embellishments or customized bows. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Balletcore Heeled Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandy-liang-1.md) - [Sophisticated Nude Heel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nudes-capsule.md) - [Comfortable Hybrid Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sneex.md) - [Illusory Doll-Like Heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illusion-boots.md) - [Beweled Fashion Forward Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simone-rocha-2.md) - [Eye-Adorned Furry Mules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eyeball-mules.md) - [Varied Stylish Supportive Pumps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stessy.md) - [Randomness-Inspired Designer Footwear Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beauty-in-chaos.md) - [Pool Slide Heeled Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipped-flop.md)
