The boot is available in Rubia Pink and Bold Black colorways and it is constructed from organic canvas and a recycled material lining. The high-cut style boasts a [classic chunky sole](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mattias-gollin-x-moon-boot-flakes-capsule), [Moccasin-style construction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suede-delave-wedge-ankle-boot) and details like "Lucy" printed on one back of the boot and "Yak" on the other. When it comes to making these boots, the brands favored the use of plant-based dyes and a non-thermal dyeing process to reduces both water and energy consumption. Kickers calls these boots the brand's "most sustainable footwear product offering to date." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Sustainable Fashion Footwear:** The trend is to produce fashion footwear using sustainable materials and eco-friendly processes which reduce energy and water consumption. - **Vegan-friendly Footwear:** The trend is to design footwear suitable for vegans using materials that are plant-based and eco-friendly, transforming fashion industry to cater a niche segment of customers. - **Chunky Soled Footwear:** This trend is to create sturdy and lasting footwear that is comfortable for daily use and looks great for any occasion. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion and Apparel:** The trend in sustainable, vegan-friendly, and sturdy footwear creates a valuable market in the fashion and apparel industry. - **Eco-friendly Industry:** The trend in creating eco-friendly footwear can create a sustainable business offering, encouraging a growth in the eco-friendly industry. - **Vegetarian and Vegan Food Industry:** The trend in vegan-friendly materials can create a bridge between the vegetarian and vegan industry to support each other's values and work towards a sustainable future for fashion and overall consumer industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hybrid Sneaker-Inspired Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luca-chukka-sneaker-boot.md) - [Relaxed Hybrid Design Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luca-chelsea-sneaker-boot.md) - [Iconic Reclaimed Leather Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-martens-genix-nappa-collection.md) - [Sustainable Winter-Ready Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timberland-2.md) - [Sleek Western Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naked-wolfes-stark-boot.md) - [Ultra-Elegant Unisex Leather Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unisex-leather-boot.md) - [PETA-Approved Leather Alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biodegradable-leather-alternative.md) - [Revamped Luxury Leather Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timberland-waterproof-luxe-boot.md) - [Vegan Celebrity-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nicki-minaj-2.md)
