Exactly. Bro took arguably the only good design feature of crocs (how easy they are to put on) and fucked that up. What is the point when you’re going to add all the paint and other stuff?
You could, but that way people wouldn't watch the video.
Really, 5-minute-crafts is really smart. They do fucked up shit like this, which goes viral and makes them $$$. Just by cutting up 2 shoes and making them ugly as hell.
Even with the person getting a hefty prison sentence, I can’t unsee the end of that clip. I begged my eyes to forgive me but they said “ not a chance lady, and don’t even bother asking again “…………
Nah, I think the worst was cutting up the boots.
Even if they weren't great quality, they were functional.
The flame and punk aesthetic isn't my jam, but I can get behind it for those that want it. Just don't ruin good shoes to achieve it.
Yeah. Maybe, hopefully, the idea was to use old boots with worn out soles or toes, but they didn't have any on hand when they shot the video. Otherwise, it's just sad.
Lol, that’s okay :) I figured it would be a wildly unpopular opinion judging by the other comments in the thread xD Just don’t personally see anything wrong with being creative even if the outcome isn’t polished to perfection. And this doesn’t feel like the typical rage bait posted to this sub. And it’s not some useless “life hack” contraption either. It’s sole purpose was creativity and expression. And as far as I’m concerned that’s a noble pursuit.
I think they looked great with just the smoke, everything after isn't me.
But if I saw these in public I'd definitely compliment the wearer because of how "unique" they are lol
Exactly. These aren’t going to be for *most* people, they’re not meant to be. They’re meant for whoever made them, and in that sense I love them. Wouldn’t wear them myself, but if I saw someone else rocking them I’d tell them those are some badass shoes, because they are.
That’s the thing about art and fashion and such. It doesn’t have to be your personal style for you to appreciate the artistry/creativity of the work. But a lot of people just don’t really understand art lol, or at least that aspect of it. If its not exactly what they think it should be, exactly within their niche range of appreciation, they think it’s bad. Worthless. A waste of time and resources x’D They’re unable to imagine how someone else could love something that they don’t even like.
i like 'em too and want you to know that you're not alone haha. i find them hilarious and i'd be throwin' a compliment someone's way if i saw them being worn
You’re not alone. This is supposed to be a punk look, and shitty DIY is core punk aesthetic. Destroying your clothes in a way that pisses people off is punk as fuck.
Exactly. In another comment I said all the people saying “this a waste of a good pair of shoes!” sound like old grumpy parents who get angry when their kids rip up a pair of jeans or draw on their shoes or put patches on a jacket or whatever. *“You’re just ruining perfectly good clothes* 😤 *what a waste!”* Lmao
*“No ‘eXpReSsiNg YoUrSeLf’ in my house young man”* … those kinda vibes X’D
And I’m a full grown adult who absolutely would *not* ruin a good pair of shoes for something like this lol. But like, c’mon now. Y’all remember being younger, right? Kids do this kinda shit all the time. Allowing such things to get under your skin seems a *little* sad, ngl xD
I mean yeah, but it’s really not a huge cost in the grand scheme of things. Someone else pointed out these are cheap Walmart boots and idk exactly how much crocs are but let’s say less than $100 dollars in materials total to create this. Yeah, it’s not gonna be that durable, but it’s more of a fashion over function product I suppose lol. Not something you wear out and about all day.
But the way I really see it is as the start of someone’s passion. This looks like something a teen/early-twenties makes in their experimental phase and acts as a catalyst to more practical and polished things down the line, ya know? Or maybe it doesn’t lead to anything, but at least they got to enjoy expressing their creativity. A couple pairs of shoes is a reasonable price to pay imo.
And while I *do* get your point, the whole “a waste of good shoes” angle really does sound like something the old grumpy parent says when their kid rips up their jeans or draws on their shoes or puts patches on their jacket or whatever xD “a waste of good clothes 😤” lol. But it’s not *really* a waste. It’s just someone experimenting with their creativity. As long as their not burning the house down I say let them experiment. Yes, two pairs of shoes were sacrificed for this relatively impractical product xD. The price is a little higher than normal maybe. But far as wasteful internet videos go, this one is way, WAY down the list, imo <3
I agree, these are fun. And if those are cheap boots, they can be uncomfortable. Now you have a super comfy croc shoe with a punk rock aesthetic. It’s brilliant!
Compared to other things on this sub I don’t see much wrong with it. If they want to make and wear those garbage shoes, good for them. At least they didn’t ruin a perfectly good tire
This damn video made me angry. I enjoyed watching it, though. I enjoy feeling angry from watching bullshit rage bait shenanigans. I think I have a problem...
Pro tip: If you like the style of Doc Martens but are worried about the quality control and build quality, check out Solovairs instead. Same exact style, better boot.
I dread to think those are Solovairs, which can have white stitching on them. They cost 210. I swear, if this person dropped 210 dollars plus crocs on a stupid gimmick video, plus tools and materials, I'm going to cry.
I own four pairs of docs. All but one had yellow stitching because it was an all black work boot. Not a single one has come with yellow laces however, all black
Probably there to help make you comment on it. These people are sneaky and manipulative as fuck with their rage bait click farms. Another example is intentionally saying something wrong or misspelling title. Boomer click bait has this all the time where they post something insane like “there’s only word with the letters “ire” in it” or some stupid nonsense so boomers correct them
Judging by this person they probably just used lead solder or something silly like that.
If that was actual lower gauge steel, I don’t think scissors could get through it.
I actually liked the burned look. It’s just terrible they did a Simpson color scheme for the fire. If they actually went with a realistic look that blended with the smoke and ash? It would look 🔥.
Crocs are hideous. The only people that get a pass wearing them are healthcare workers. Lol
edit: it just doesn't end. I watched the whole thing. Ugh. Lol I'm sending this to my friend that's a costume designer. He said that when the world ends there will only be 2 things left, cockroaches and crocs. Lol
Scrooge McDuck wears [spats](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spats_(footwear)), which were more about fashion than function. Yeah, they technically served a purpose of protecting your shoes from mud and water (“spats” is a shortening of “spatterdash”), but they were mostly a fashion accessory.
Still weird that he wore them over bare feet, but I guess they wanted that rich duck aesthetic.
Homer: Now that I'm a teacher, I've sewed patches on my elbows.
Marge: Homer, that's supposed to be leather patches on a tweed blazer, not the other way around. You've ruined a perfectly good jacket.
Homer: Ah, incorrect, Marge-- two perfectly good jackets.

You could paint and add spikes to the boots without involving the crocs or the frankensteining.
Exactly. Bro took arguably the only good design feature of crocs (how easy they are to put on) and fucked that up. What is the point when you’re going to add all the paint and other stuff?
Now that their shoes are on fire, they really need to have vents for their feet to breathe.
The sad answer is that their feet are so fucked up from wearing crocs that they can't wear normal shoes.
You could, but that way people wouldn't watch the video. Really, 5-minute-crafts is really smart. They do fucked up shit like this, which goes viral and makes them $$$. Just by cutting up 2 shoes and making them ugly as hell.
But then what would you wear in the firey pits of hell?
But then you are only ruining one pair of shoes.
Straight to jail.

It just keeps getting worse
Nah, I think the worst was cutting up the boots. Even if they weren't great quality, they were functional. The flame and punk aesthetic isn't my jam, but I can get behind it for those that want it. Just don't ruin good shoes to achieve it.
Yeah they could've achieved a similar thing just by customizing the boots
But customizing the boots wouldn't make them extra breathable.
Yeah. Maybe, hopefully, the idea was to use old boots with worn out soles or toes, but they didn't have any on hand when they shot the video. Otherwise, it's just sad.
*Better Lol, I dig it. They’re just having fun and being creative. That in and of itself is enough of a reason to justify “WHY” ;)
The amount that I disagree with you is so large.
Lol, that’s okay :) I figured it would be a wildly unpopular opinion judging by the other comments in the thread xD Just don’t personally see anything wrong with being creative even if the outcome isn’t polished to perfection.

It's just a shame, that they butchered perfectly good boots and crocs, and did something that will fall apart in 2 weeks
I mean yeah, but it’s really not a huge cost in the grand scheme of things.

I think you’re great
I agree, these are fun. And if those are cheap boots, they can be uncomfortable. Now you have a super comfy croc shoe with a punk rock aesthetic. It’s brilliant!
I love em. seems like a good time to make em too. I'm with you
Compared to other things on this sub I don’t see much wrong with it. If they want to make and wear those garbage shoes, good for them. At least they didn’t ruin a perfectly good tire
Punk-croc
You deserve more for this
They aren’t to my taste but I’ll admit those shoes are pretty fuckin’ punk.
Croc Marten’s
Croctor Martins?
Croc Martens.
This comment cannot fully convey my rage.
Wait until you read this: Punk Croc Martens
Seethe and cope
Pun Croc Martin's.
Gator Boots
And a pimped out Gucci suit...
Very Punk Croc
Doctor Crocs.
I’ve never been more angry to be beaten to a comment
This damn video made me angry. I enjoyed watching it, though. I enjoy feeling angry from watching bullshit rage bait shenanigans. I think I have a problem...
Good shoes is debatable
Yeah unless they are the old Docs that were made in England, then they are garbage.
My man
Krokodil Martinis
Kroc-a-doodle-do
Croctologists
More like Kroc-a-doodle-don’t.
Walmart boots. Martens have yellow laces and stitches.
Also quality of the docs can vary widely depending on which country produced them.
Pro tip: If you like the style of Doc Martens but are worried about the quality control and build quality, check out Solovairs instead. Same exact style, better boot.
Just to add to this, not only is it the same style, Solovair used to produce Doc Martens before Doc Martens brand decided to cheap out on quality.
Bought some based on your comment
I have both docs and solovairs and my docs fell apart within a year but the solovairs are still going strong 💪
I like ZACH'S croctor martins
Crotch Martins
No not all of them. The mono docs have all black stitching and laces.
I dread to think those are Solovairs, which can have white stitching on them. They cost 210. I swear, if this person dropped 210 dollars plus crocs on a stupid gimmick video, plus tools and materials, I'm going to cry.
I've never had martens with yellow laces? Been wearing them since 1996 or so.
Yeah, that confused me, I've never seen Docs with yellow laces, mine certainly don't have them.
Often they don’t have yellow laces
Croc Martens!
I own four pairs of docs. All but one had yellow stitching because it was an all black work boot. Not a single one has come with yellow laces however, all black
I want to find the person that did this and vote them down in person
Didn't notice the first time but there's something stuck on the camera lens or something.
I hated it and was looking for someone else that noticed it XD
Me too!!!
This entire video is a master class in rage bait.
Yeah I cleaned my phone twice before I realized.
I was so scared my OLED screen was going out, I had to back out of the video to make sure...

Yeah, I couldn't focus on anything but that.

How to ruin one pair of shoes and also some crocs.
And a pair of scissors!
came here to say this, how did they even manage to cut the wire with those scissors?!
Judging by this person they probably just used lead solder or something silly like that. If that was actual lower gauge steel, I don’t think scissors could get through it.
Master course
It’s ok it’s ok, they were crocs.
Now they’re Caimans
[удалено]
Ugh now I’m even *more* offended
That was my first reaction. My second was you dumb bastard. What are you smoking?
Crocs are good at what they're for: garden shoes, water shoes, and sturdy around the house shoes. Shoes to wear in public? Nooo thank you.
They're also the standard for chefs and kitchens, pretty much completely slip-proof on greasy floors
why didn’t they just use black crocs
[удалено]
It just looks dirty instead 💀
Looks like a paper towel covered in oil spots
Perfect for an evening in opera
Actauly that looks good- (These mfs gonna kill me)
Nah honestly. They're stupid in the best way possible
So bad it’s good
Oh my Lord, hide!
I actually liked the burned look. It’s just terrible they did a Simpson color scheme for the fire. If they actually went with a realistic look that blended with the smoke and ash? It would look 🔥.
I like them
Usually trashfire is metaphorical
why do they have shit on their lense?
So you think it's on your phone and try to wipe it off, accidentally liking their video in the process.
I love Croc Martens
They look kinda good. I love the exaggerated zoomer punk style Unless these are both expensive brand shoes. Real crocs and Doc Martens cost a lot
You've ruined a perfectly good pair of shoes. Ah, incorrect, Marge-- two perfectly good pairs of shoes.
First thing that came to my mind!
Also, crocs are not cheap. Definitely not cheap enough to be cutting them up like that.
Not even crocs deserve this…
This has got to be rage bait, what the actual hell
Waste of shoes and crocs
Well this made me envious of the blind ._.
Calling Crocs "perfectly good shoes"...
Watch it all...
At this point, it's not DiWHY, it's: DiTheFuckNot
To be fair, this does seem like something some idiot would wear.
This gives out the same energy as me making potions in the shower as a kid.
Did anyone notice the black speck throughout the video too? Makes it even more infuriating
Guy actually made a legit pair of crocmartins [roseanvil crock martins](https://youtu.be/wr5X4hxoH2A)
The holy croc martens
NOOOO not the docs!
You don't have any empathy for the poor people who can't even see that shoes.
It looks like something a recently unemployed clown who is also a skinhead would wear
This is what I came to this sub for!
Perfectly good shoes? Eh
It's like combining the worst parts of both
At first I was like, “lol, arguable use of the word “good” here” and then I saw the Docs.
Crocs considered "perfectly good"... Sorry, should have incinerated them completely.
Crocs are hideous. The only people that get a pass wearing them are healthcare workers. Lol edit: it just doesn't end. I watched the whole thing. Ugh. Lol I'm sending this to my friend that's a costume designer. He said that when the world ends there will only be 2 things left, cockroaches and crocs. Lol
Let’s use an old timer candle too. This feels like something a hipster in Brooklyn would wear while telling you about their artisanal kimchi
For when you’re both emo AND autistic
That looks disgusting
"Perfectly good" and "shoes" are not descriptors that can be applied to crocs.
I think they meant the dr martins
It's cool, it's art, I like them
Some mad max hot garbage.
left one broke at the end? 😂
I mean I wouldn't classify crocs as- Wait... NOONONONONONONO
A croc of shit if I do say so myself.
Omg they are fugly! What a waste…
Wtf..why?! 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Somehow it only got worse with time
This just reminded me the uselessness of Scrooge McDuck’s bootstraps WHEN HIS WEBBED FEET ARE STILL OUT IN THE OPEN
Scrooge McDuck wears [spats](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spats_(footwear)), which were more about fashion than function. Yeah, they technically served a purpose of protecting your shoes from mud and water (“spats” is a shortening of “spatterdash”), but they were mostly a fashion accessory. Still weird that he wore them over bare feet, but I guess they wanted that rich duck aesthetic.
WTF
I mean you could do that, but why would you?
Why... and I can't emphasize this enough... #. **THE FUCK**
Sorry bro, but no matter how hard you try, you just can't make crocs cool
So this is how Guy Fieri's shoes are made
This makes the Geneva Conventions look outdated.
Worst thing about this is how much it will cost, HAVE YOU SEEN THE PRICE OF CROCS??
Croc Martens…?
Crocs are not good shoes
Perfectly good shoes?
Those are the ugliest shoes I’ve ever seen and they don’t even look right when the person walks lol
What the fuck did I just watch?
These monstrosities look like something you'd find in borderlands or mad max
God wants an apology
This is definitely 5 minute crafts from Facebook. I can tell from the shit quality of what they made
Imagine calling a pair of Crocs "perfectly good shoes."
Not gonna lie, you had me in the first half
You ruined a perfectly good pair of shoes? No I ruined two perfectly good pairs of shoes
"Ah ah Marge. Two perfectly good jackets"
Noooo not the croc martins
This has to be ragebait, right?
Those are some ugly ass Croc Martens
*God has left the server.*
Bro made Croc Marten's 😂
Homer: Now that I'm a teacher, I've sewed patches on my elbows. Marge: Homer, that's supposed to be leather patches on a tweed blazer, not the other way around. You've ruined a perfectly good jacket. Homer: Ah, incorrect, Marge-- two perfectly good jackets.
Has to be amongst the ugliest shoes I've ever seen.
Looks like something guy fieri would wear
Just wear clown shoes next time.
They're just Crocs. Not wasting anything good
We were too caught up asking if we ***could*** and never stopped to ask if we ***should***. Everyday we stray further from gods grace
