    This iceberg video is a bit of a departure from the original format seeing as the video is absolutely riddled with my opinions. There are definitely lots of examples of horrendous footwear I didn't include.
    What ugly shoes did I miss?

      I Have sasquatch feet and need super wide shoes with an unnaturally high instep. Almost no shoe brand carries a 4-5E width. Wide sketchers always fit.
      And if I want to just buy a size that fits on width and not care about anything else I'm usually looking at a size 16, which again no one carries.

      I knew a guy who owned a pair. Just another suburb dad. Said they were ultra comfortable. Also yes they looked like leather face made them. He eventually dyed the leather a darker brown to cover up the....off putting wear patterns. I swear the things whispered to me that I should take them when I was at his house. They kept moving so they were always in the room with me.

    Ok there’s some slander I can’t accept in this video, sketchers aren’t just functional they are nigh indestructible, and they extremely comfortable. Honestly I don’t even think most of them are that ugly, they are often bland and derivative, but there are some cute ones.
    Then there’s the fila disruptor 2, my favorite shoes are fila disruptors 2 Iridescents. They are good looking shoes with a very unique look, I genuinely believe they are only hated as much are they are now is because “teenage girls hatred syndrome ” where anything that teen girls like is disproportionately hated (boy bands are good example).

    The Tabi "ninja"split toe shoes don't have a fashionable origin. They are usually used in construction as style of work shoe in Japan. The split toe allows for greater dexterity and balance which is important when building high above the ground. They also usually are worn with steel toes in them.

      That’s the original court filing, can’t find the official ruling easily rn bc it’s from 2014 but every online source I’ve looked at (from bbc to AP) says they settled for almost $4 million while not actually legally admitting fault. This is bc as the original commenter suggested they require u to adjust to them overtime and will damage ur feet if not but did not disclose this fact anywhere despite likely knowing better. At the time they were selling for abt $100 and the class action suit led to all who purchased being eligible for a $20-50 refund which is basically the court admitting that both sides have some valid points. Hope this helps!

    "Beauty is subjective" is just not that true. Beauty is something that can be very objective and there are almost always constants in regards to what is beautiful or not throughout history. Deviations from the norm are normally pushed by influential minorities, such as elite ruling classes or leaders of certain induestries. A good exmaple of this is modern architecture, the general public overwhelmingly dislike modern buildings when asked and yet it is pushed on us relentlessly by architects who have gone down some fringe rabbit hole that only people in that industry seem to care about.

    Is it just me or do the Puma Mostros feel kinda out of place here? They are certainly unusual, but I wouldn’t say they are ugly. Certainly not uglier than e.g. the Nike Air Prestos, which are considered perfectly mainstream.

    Arizonas and Bostons are so comfy though

    Not putting THOSE Moncler Genius shoes (u know the ones) on the bottom tier is the single worst take ever (that includes my take of believing that Chelsea wins the league this year)

    I never understood the hate for Tabis (even though I understand the 'hooves' part), to me they look straight up elegant. I also liked those tasty glazed Timbs lol I also liked the Hysteric Mary Janes but I have a weak spot for edible bubblegum pink gel trainers.
