The brand took a twist on its classic boot style by adding textured leather, made to look like crocodile skin. The new 'Crocodylian' line is available in multiple sizes from toddler to junior. Featuring a waterproof, thick material on the outside, and a warm padded membrane, perfect for keeping children's feet dry in the outdoors. The soles are a removable 'anti-fatigue' foot bed that provides all-day comfort. The brand originally made boots specifically for the winter, but these versatile boots are designed to be worn in any season. This new deign is only available for a limited time, and is created with 15 percent recycled rubber on the inside. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## 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 - **Reptile-inspired Footwear:** Opportunity to disrupt the children's footwear industry by creating more reptile-inspired designs. - **Versatile Season Boots:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to develop multifunctional boots suitable for any season. - **Eco-friendly Materials:** Potential to disrupt the footwear industry by creating more sustainable and recyclable footwear options. ### Who This Affects Most - **Children's Footwear:** Opportunity to disrupt the children's footwear industry with unique and trendy designs. - **Outdoor Footwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to create innovative and functional footwear for outdoor activities. - **Sustainable Footwear:** Potential to disrupt the footwear industry by developing eco-friendly and sustainable footwear options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Revamped Luxury Leather Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timberland-waterproof-luxe-boot.md) - [Camouflage Utility Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/realtreepack.md) - [Functional Outdoor Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salehe-bembury-and-crocs.md) - [Sustainable Winter-Ready Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timberland-2.md) - [Creature-Themed Amphibian Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/esenes-worldwide-frog-clogs.md) - [Textural Embroidered Perforated Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-cowboy.md) - [Fully Faux Fur-Lined Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodle-fur.md) - [Rugged Dynamic Outdoor Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allterrain-clog-2.md) - [Character-Inspired Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-squidward.md)
