Suede Bootmaker Slippers

The Viberg Slide House Slippers are Available in Four Color Options

— December 20, 2017 — Fashion
The Viberg Slide House Slippers have been designed by the Canada-based bootmaker to provide wearers with a sumptuous experience that is suitable for even the most discerning footwear connoisseur. The slippers are crafted from Italian suede and are designed to provide wearers with cozy, casual comfort thanks to the kip lining.

The Viberg Slide House Slippers come in four color options and feature a crepe rubber sole that can be worn outside for brief periods to grab the mail or pick call the dog. The premium slippers identify how male consumers are becoming more discerning of the products they own and are looking for high-end options, even for household items like casual footwear. The slippers can be worn with or without socks to suit your needs or preferences.
Trend Themes
1. High-end House Slippers - The rise in demand for high-quality and designer house slippers has created an opportunity for upscale fashion brands to innovate and expand their product lines.
2. Kip-lined Footwear - The use of kip leather lining in footwear products is a luxurious feature that offers comfort and durability, which presents an opportunity for brands to differentiate themselves through using this material.
3. Outdoor-friendly Slippers - The trend of creating slippers with outdoor-friendly soles, like Viberg's crepe rubber sole, provides a potential area for innovation in the market for footwear specifically designed to be worn around the house, but with the ability to briefly leave the home.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Upscale fashion brands have an opportunity to expand their product lines by creating high-quality, designer house slipper collections.
2. Footwear - Innovation opportunities exist for footwear brands to incorporate kip leather lining in their products, differentiate from competitors, and appeal to a niche market of luxury footwear consumers.
3. Home Goods - The release of outdoor-friendly slippers presents opportunities for home goods companies to come up with new designs and materials that cater to customers' needs for comfortable footwear that can go beyond the interior of their homes.
