# Iconic Lambskin Man Shoes The Ugg Colum Oxford By Cowbag | Published 2008-09-15 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ugg-colum-oxford-cosy-uggs-now-come-as-shoes References: [uncrate](http://www.uncrate.com/men/style/shoes/ugg-colum-oxford/) Winter is coming and our thoughts are turning to [cold weather apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ugg-and-palace), and more specifically, how to keep warm and cosy. Normally this is an excuse to buy a ‘must’ have pair of Ugg boots, but then I found these. They are for men and come in [black and brown](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fuzzy-boat-shoe). Not the best looking shoes around - in fact very uggly - but if they are as cosy as the [classic Ugg boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ugg-rebranding), then I think I can overlook the aesthetics issues. Oh and the fact they are meant for men. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Men's Cosy Footwear:** This trend highlights the increasing demand for warm and comfortable shoes for men, presenting an opportunity for companies to create innovative designs and materials. - **Functional Fashion:** Functional and practical fashion items are gaining popularity, indicating a potential for disruptive innovation in the footwear industry by combining comfort and style. - **Gender-inclusive Footwear:** The introduction of men's Ugg-style shoes demonstrates a growing market for gender-inclusive footwear, offering an opportunity for brands to cater to diverse consumer preferences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Men's Footwear:** The rise in demand for men's cosy footwear opens up avenues for innovation in the men's footwear industry, allowing companies to tap into the evolving preferences of male consumers. - **Fashion Accessories:** The fusion of functionality and fashion in products like the Ugg Colum Oxford showcases the potential for disruptive innovation in the fashion accessories industry, encouraging brands to rethink traditional designs. - **Textile and Material Innovation:** The need for warm and comfortable footwear presents opportunities for textile and material companies to develop new innovative fabrics and technologies to enhance the cosiness and performance of shoes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Comfy Utilitarian Winter Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stampd-x-ugg-collection.md) - [High-Performance Sheepskin Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ugg-ascot-wrap-tech.md) - [Bold Urban Winter Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ugg-autumn-winter-2025.md) - [Terrain-Ready Utility Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jld-boot.md) - [Hardware Winter Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ugg-x-hiddenny-ppf.md) - [Collaborative Fall Season Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ugg-x-sacai.md) - [Warming Culturally-Inspired Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ugg-and-palace.md) - [Sheepskin Grocery Store Clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ugg-tazz-x-erewhon.md) - [Shearling-Lined Suede Slippers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amour-suede-shearling-bridges.md)
