Wears have the choice of customizing these slippers to fit their personal needs. Most slipper designs fall into two basic categories. Either the slippers are a [slip-on design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/purechill) or they have a backed heel for a more practical wear. The Mahabis Larvik slippers allow wearers to choose which design they prefer by customizing the look of their slippers. Each pair of Mahabis closed-toe slippers comes with a collapsible neoprene heel that is perfect for slipping these slippers on in a hurry or wearing them as fully functional footwear. The neoprene heel even provides optimum support. Wearers can also add a [customizable rubber sole](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-footwear-design) to make these slippers waterproof. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Customizable Slipper Design:** The Mahabis Larvik slipper design offers customizable options to fit individual needs. - **Collapsible Heel Technology:** The collapsible neoprene heel of the Mahabis Larvik slippers provides convenient slip-on functionality. - **Waterproof Slippers:** By adding a customizable rubber sole, the Mahabis Larvik slippers can become waterproof. ### Where This Applies - **Footwear:** The customizable features of the Mahabis Larvik slippers offer opportunities for innovation in the footwear industry. - **Comfort and Wellness:** The collapsible heel technology of the Mahabis Larvik slippers can disrupt the comfort and wellness industry by providing convenient and supportive indoor footwear. - **Outdoor Gear:** The addition of a customizable rubber sole to the Mahabis Larvik slippers opens up possibilities for innovation in the outdoor gear industry by offering waterproof functionality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modular Mix-and-Match Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/commbi.md) - [Shearling-Lined Suede Slippers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amour-suede-shearling-bridges.md) - [Comfortable Home Slippers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-slippers.md) - [Comfort-Focused Hands-Free Slip-In Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slipin-shoes.md) - [Concrete Brick-Themed Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/he-she-brick-slippers.md) - [Chic Comfort-Focused Sliders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comfort-recovery-slide.md) - [Backless Comfort Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moondeck.md) - [Comfortable Fall Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-and-sea-x-subu.md) - [Ultra-Cozy Sheep Slippers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sheep-slippers.md)
