The casual footwear style comes hot on the heels of the [crocodile-embossed slides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reptile-sneaker-1) released last month and are characterized by their high-quality leather construction. A velcro strap across the forefoot can be repositioned to further customize the shoe's fit, while the [padded footbed provides enhanced comfort](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comfort-recovery-slide) when lounging or working from home. The Balenciaga Home Sandal is priced at $495, and is likely to be a hit amongst fashion-forward consumers who are keen to show off their spring style but are confined to their home to help flatten the curve. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Luxury Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxuryfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Luxury Stay-at-home Apparel:** The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an increased demand for luxury apparel that is comfortable for people who are working from home. - **Customizable At-home Footwear:** Consumers are looking for comfortable footwear that can be customized to fit their feet, presenting an opportunity for brands to create customizable at-home footwear products. - **High-end Loungewear:** Brands can take advantage of the current situation by creating luxury loungewear that is both comfortable and stylish for consumers to wear at home. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion Industry:** The fashion industry can create luxury stay-at-home apparel and footwear that is both comfortable and stylish. - **Retail Industry:** The retail industry can create customizable at-home footwear, allowing consumers to purchase footwear that fits their feet perfectly. - **Textile Industry:** The textile industry can create innovative materials that provide enhanced comfort and are suitable for at-home loungewear and footwear products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxurious Stealthy Fashion Mules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunday-molded-mule.md) - [Comfortable Home Slippers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-slippers.md) - [Cozy Homebody Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casamera-one-blanket.md) - [Cozy Indoor Footwear Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indoor-footwear.md) - [functional footwear brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifestyle-brand-brunch.md) - [Luxe Long-Lasting House Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbour-hall-quilted-slippers.md) - [Luxury Collaborative Fuzzy Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fur-crocs.md) - [Fuzzy Plush Clog Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-calm-mule.md) - [Chic Slim-Fit City Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balenciaga-city-sneaker.md)
