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 wore sketchers for work and after eight hours my feet weren't killing me so I count that as an utilitarian fashion victory

I can't see how anyone could seriously have a problem with what look like normal-ass sneakers. If I wanted cool shoes I'd wear my giant stompy goth boots.

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.
the momo clarks look like they were dropped by a lv1 villager 💀
I never realized how much wild shit asics have made, I've always viewed them as the most standard option shoe producer out there, but they're not afraid to get weird. I respect it.

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.

You’re wearing the right trousers
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).

I'm 35 and remember Skechers were so fun and out there compared to most sneaker brands in the 90's and 2000's. Their current era is so depressingly bleh. They're one of the few brands that give us any damn toe space, but they're way too embarrassing to wear
Can’t believe I’m the sort of person to watch 36mins of this, but I am.
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.
Thank you for making me re-live that terrifying Mulholland Drive moment in a video about trainers
I have to be honest, I was never really into fashion but I really love the stuff that you dig up for your videos. They're super well-made and well-researched, I love your delivery and you're very funny. I've even taken out a Post-it to note 3 pair of shoes that I'd love to get from this video, you may very well become my gateway into fashion...

wrong trousers but the right calibre, you have blessed us once again
you're actually making me care about fashion. usually i just put on whatevers clean and maybe match some colours, but now i might actually fund some fashion endeavours
I want to point out that barefoot shoes go beyond fashion for the initial design, but they lean into the functional features until they look good…The vibram 5 finger, have a collab with suicoke, and they are such a sleek and detailed example of this.
One of the only channels I regularly check to see if you've uploaded. Thankyou for your content
i was ugly before it was cool
Hey WT, I gotta say, never cared too much about fashion, my boldest pick of footwear would've been a wacky colored pair of accics. But, your takes on fashion concepts and trends are really engaging to watch and are really informative for someone who is clueless about this stuff. Mad respect man, I'll be eagerly waiting for your next vid❤
This is a really incredible video. The audio and video go along so seamlessly, he got the editing just right. Every image shown is relevant to the current thing he's saying at this exact moment, without being distracting. Remarkable Oh and also the things he's saying are really good too
To a guy like me these are normal shoes
Honestly, I liked quite a few of these

Thank you friend, very good video! Love your channel!
I know the couple in the picture wearing formal wear and the vibrams. Haven’t seen them in a decade, but first people who popped into my mind when you started talking about the vibrams were those two. So crazy they made it into the vid it made me rewind to do a double take!
I love this channel I show your videos to my buddies
gOOD VIDEO, IN THE MOMENT I READ THE TITLE I KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO BE INTERESING
Crocs are ironically really good for foot health and promote a good arch.
Thank you! Added a few items to my wishlist

yup, seeing like HALF of the shoes on this list my only thought was "theyre not fashion shoes though... theyre function shoes". vibrams are awesome. theyre not weird quirky fashion shoes theyre function shoes and they're incredibly healthy for your feet compared to pretty much any other shoe you can buy
This is the best iceberg topic 😂😊
The momo vid finally dropped 🔥
That was freaking awesome; had no idea what top expect yet it shot the moon.
I only watched the first 3 min but I'm dying this is hilarious. I'll come back and finish this later lmao
The five finger shoes do actually improve foot health. The lawsuit won only because they weren't told that you need to ease into wearing them in order to not get injured

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!

That’s a lie lol, Vibram was specifically sued for making claims about health benefits that are not supported by any evidence. Specifically in terms of preventing foot injuries and building small muscles in the feet.
The final shoes are hilarious. Reminds me of when BigJigglyPanda did a Wish haul and got these sandals that looked like the Necronomicon.
Those Balenciaga chevalier (knight in French) shoes go HARDDDD
I wasn't aware of how aware I was of this rabbit hole
I lovee the vintage miu miu shoes
chill on the roshes
Great list
Wrong trouser, you've done it. Another great video
thank you for the lecture
all these shoes actually go hard
The Birkenstock Montana is a favorite ugly shoe of mine, never seen someone in person or online wearing them but I think you could do something cool with the style.
honestly also getting into ugly shoes cause i wanna avoid bunions lmao, and i want comfort plus quality construction. I actually really love the martine rose nike shox specifically because they’re a mule since i have narrow heels and most shoes that arent closed like sneakers/boots just slip off my feet or give me insane blisters on the back of my heels
Omg i have a whole collection of 90s and 00s Acupuncture shoes! I also collect that period of Shelley's London shoes
I recently thrifted some mint condition Nike rifts but the Mary Jane style so no tabby toe and I can’t wait to wear them this summer
Yohji really living up to his take on modernization with those ballet flats.
this is a list of all my favorite shoes

wait 24:52 is actually genius thanks for bringing that to my attention
*bruh just roasted the shit out of me, I'm feeling sad for my Crocs, Birkenstock, Huaraches* 😢😂
I can tell the Puma Makoshi's weird ass sole design is basically an exaggeration of typical jika tabi sole design and that's why it looks so weird. The horizontal soft rubber tread on jika tabi allows the shoe to flex up and down substantially with the sole creasing in the troughs in the tread; and the Makoshis tread design is basically this same idea, but with the tread enlarged as much as possible
Dad shoes are one of the weirdest trends. It makes no sense. They’re so ugly and yet so incredibly popular.
Those "Duck Oxfords" are actually derbys haha
There really is an iceberg chart for anything isnt there

This s***'s hilarious absolutely worth the subscribe
every ~5th shoe is kind of a slay like I wouldn’t dare wear it, but I do like looking at it.
I actually own a pair of the gold mihara yasuhiro pumas at 31:19 they are super fucking cool, it seems like noone has ever heard of them. I was surprised to see them in a youtube video
As much as I enjoyed this video, I was thoroughly confused by the assertion that Uggs have come back into fashion. Maybe it's a regional thing but Uggs are all but a completely forgotten thing of the past where I live.

Like a DIY sportswear mod podge of synthetic materials. I typically always avoid synthetic stuff myself. I go for heavy materials like canvas, denim, heavy cotton,, but those shoes make me wanna try and make the silly insane color scheming of sportswear work somehow. idk..
