In terms of style, suppliers are offering models with fewer embellishments since these appeal to a wide range of buyers.

Footwear suppliers in Indonesia are featuring traditional textiles such as batik, ikat and songket in their designs to differentiate their products in the international market. Batik refers to a fabric decorated using a wax-resist dyeing technique, while ikat patterns are achieved by resist dyeing the yarns. Songket, meanwhile, is a textured, woven textile.

These traditional fabrics, or cloths printed to look like such materials, are being adopted in the uppers, soles or heels of sandals, pumps and other types of contemporary footwear. The fabrics are typically sourced from Central Java or North Sumatera.

Genuine leather remains popular in both high-end casual and formal shoes. Amid demand for environment-friendly products, many companies are opting for vegetable-tanned leather or recycled rubber.

Stylewise, the trend is for ergonomic designs with few embellishments since these appeal to a wider market.
