Maybe you should wear shoes that make you stop uploading
yo pinned comment
Drew Gooden 1s
starting to think Drew writes these himself
That would be a good idea
ALREADY???
The price wasn't for the shoes, it was for the instructional video. You have NO idea how hard it is to find someone who can teach you how to walk.
ya, it took me a year to figure it out while drew did it in 1 minute!
Ikr? Every time I ask someone, they just laugh in my face like I’m some Neanderthal! Ooga Booga Dooga Goo????
Wow I guess I'm really lucky both my parents were qualified walking instructors!
An insult that it wasn't even a good instructional video. Not a silly hat or cute animal in sight.
Right?
And even tho the video was as unnecessary as little sock hangers they didn't do the one thing it told them to, which is to walk normally
Those young men are so nice to that poor little blonde boy. It's wonderful to see that there are still charitable people out there.
"poor little blonde boy" 😭
I guess chivalry really isn't dead after all
foul 💀
This is funnier than the pinned comment
Nah, Drew is clearly the annoying rich kid who the cool guys just hang out with to use his neat gadgets
Somehow Jarvis was the only one who looked even mildly natural and human in his walk, everyone else looked like they had explosives strapped to their feet.
I might consider those things explosives 😅
@@c0athangersomehow they watched the video that made it explicitly clear that they are to walk normally, acknowledged how adamant they were in telling people to walk normally, then didn’t walk normally
Its because he's the only one who actually does heel to toe. It looks like you really have to roll your feet
@@herp-a-derp5234 How do you walk normally with something that is AI powed, weighted and makes you a fair bit taller, it's not gonna be the easiest thing ever. Even wearing steal toed boots will weight your feet down enough where you walk a little different. They also said they seem to randomly break which yea they were probably tense using them this is just a bad product that's over priced for a solution that isn't even a problem for the average person and their price point makes it so you couldn't even try them just for fun because that's a good chunk of money for no real return
@@herp-a-derp5234I would love to see a video of you walking normally with two bricks strapped to your shoes
A super annoying issue in game design is syncing character footstep animation rate with the speed they walk. We notice it even if it's really subtle. These shoes are a perfect example of how uncanny it looks.
one of the strangest things i
found in trying to make a walk cycle in blender is how litterally copy pasting keyframes it seems to not always behave the same, creating walk cycles is a nightmare far worse than things people would think are more complicated, even my end result looked very stiff and off
@@pisscvre69it's not any better in software like Maya, could literally follow every step on the best tutorial and once it runs past the original keyframes of the walkcycle it falls apart 😭😭
@@elwhite2130 dam it, no where is safe from walk cycles GHSDFFSDHG
i thought the same thing, also how in some games the character takes an extra step when you stop moving the controls, and these things made the guys slide a little even when they stopped walking. my first thought was, thats a video game character LMAO
As an animator myself.... yeah, it's always been something that annoys me when I'd see it
I love them advertising as "the ultimate cardio machine", it's like they found out it was more labor intensive to use them than regular walking and had to re-market them
the most expensive workout weights
You could literally just buy a cheap elliptical/treadmill for that price lol
@@SilvarusLupusyou can get a pretty decent one tbh
@@SilvarusLupus and buy steal toed shoes for the extra weight and get the same effect for cheaper
First he got taller, now he's going faster. He's becoming unstoppable
next hes gonna buy a new balance bracelet like Danny and oh brother will that spell out some bad news
The tallest and the fastest
And he has a military grade belt. He really could be a god.
Unrelated but memento mori
next he’s going to get stronger
I love the absolute audacity of an engineer saying, “it’s a lot worse on video for some reason?” I could actually write an essay on how ludicrous that statement is
Oh yeah? Well prove it!
it's more ludicrous in writing.
@@CosmicNyan hi
hi @@pup64hcp
Wow! Those shoes really are like walking on the Moon: the huge financial investment, years of training, incredible toll on the body, likely to cause your death... They even got the detail where you and 3 other men share an experience few other living beings every will!
Huh. Someone should show this comment to the creator of moonshoes. They might like the angle for advertising lol
This is such an underrated comment honestly
I bought these shoes and accidentally beat the soviets to the space race
Minus the final payoff of a breathtaking experience
Dude this comment is so funny hahahaha
I love how they make you look like a character in a videogame that has an improperly-tuned walk cycle.
lol right all I could think was "Who wants to pay $1400 to look like their animation isn't playing correctly"
Beep bop... I'm the Philosophy Bot. Here, have a quote:
"Metaphysics is a dark ocean without shores or lighthouse, strewn with many a philosophic wreck"
~ Immanuel Kant
oh I just commented the same thing lol yeah it really does look like that
Next they'll make a $1200 sword that clips through the ground when you crouch
yeah
Hey Drew, I think you should start a local tourist guide tour service where you walk around with your moonwalkers, and they have to try to keep up with you as you tell them lies about the city
it should be a 5$ cover, byob byow, and should end in two atendees fighting to the death
you're onto something
This idea is genius. And a good way to get his money back. 😅
So this is Tampa, Florida! It's super nice and everyone is normal, oh whats that you can't hear me over my shoes? Well to bad 😡
Forget the shoes. I would absolutely spend hundreds of dollars to have someone guide me around a city while telling me lies. What a funny tourist experience
A horror story in one sentence:
For sale- one pair of moon shoes, hardly worn
Shaking in my moon-boots
Shaking in my moon-flipflops
Thanks, Hemingway
Try wearing them on the treadmill
you’re a monster
And put the treadmill on the back of a truck.
@@GrainneMhaol, Good idea!
OMG I Am a huge fan of your content! Also... I miss you calling yourself the Emo Abraham Lincoln. lol
I also value content over Drew's bones being not broken. Let's do it!
I think Jarvis hit the nail on the head with the "I feel like I wish I was wearing rollerblades, because then I'd have more control." Like at least then you'd be able to _turn_
Like I wish I was able to turn this video off
And good rollerblades are like 10% of the price
@@absinthe-crow Good rollerblades are more like ~20% of the price of the shitwalker shoes. Typical rollerblades are gonna range from $50 (for kids) to $200 if you want something that's a little cheap and made of that weird hard plastic, but really good ones are gonna be closer to $300. Rollerskates are gonna be about the same, though they sometimes can cost more or less depending on the brand you go for. I find that rollerskates are often much better quality than blades.
@@nomoretwitterhandlesI broke my wrist roller skating outside because I tripped on a crack, do you have any tips? I wanna get back to it because it's been a few years and I'm fine indoors. I just don't know how to skate outdoors
@@nomoretwitterhandles i bought shitty inlines to beat up and theyve lasted me like 3 years and only 1 set of wheels/bearings, $70. The only issue is now the fabric on the inside is beginning to wear down

OneTopic! Seems this comment’s a bit buried at the moment
woahh funny seeing you here onetopic!
Did not expect you here :0
hi OT i didn't know you watched danny
I love how just listening to the shoes, if you have worked with electric motors at all you can go, "Oh, that's the sound of really cheap motors straining very hard."
Jarvis somehow managed to make those utterly stupid shoes look kind of cool and I'm in awe
They should have a treadmill setting, where the wheels go in reverse and force you to walk in place.
Haha yeah. Then you could actually moon walk like MJ
high ping mode
@@sidneyistiredrubber banding to keep you in line with your friends lol
Unironically they should do this I'm autistic and forget to walk at a normal pace so if they made you move slightly backwards that would be helpful.
Except for the loud noise and awkward walking which would probably make me look just as autistic so never mind
@@leix7 Also autistic and yeah its probably the last thing we need. Its also common for us to have balance issues as is, ai powered shoes that go off on their own is probably not great there either.
They called them moonwalkers because they weigh the same amount as shoes you'd use on the moon, how thoughtful!
Lmaoooooooooooo
laughing my ass ooooooooooooff
Nah they were just telling you they were bad ahead of time by relating them to the moon pod
to be fair shoes on the moon would weigh barely anything
unfortunately they're named after seventeen's masterpiece song "moonwalker" but nice guess❤
you should wear the shoes to whatever marathon Danny will be in and try to beat him
this comment is so funny i wish you commented it earlier so it got popular
@@aubergine1086no seriously 😮💨😂
the funny thing is that there is actually a use case for this sort of thing and i fall into it - i have an old hip injury that flares up if i walk more than about 2 miles at a time, so I can't, for example, go walking to the grocery store that's about 1.2 miles from my house because it's _just_ outside that 2 mile round-trip range. being able to go just a _little_ bit farther on each step would actually expand my "walkable distance" range quite a bit. I've actually considered buying heelys to help with this.
so i was interested in these moonwalkers until you showed the price, and then every thing after that was an additional ding against it. the extra weight that would offset any benefit of getting more distance per step? the difficulty of even just getting them to work in the first place? the NOISE???? the thing about a lot of these types of products is that they're designed for disabilities and then marketed to everyone, so able-bodied people go "that's silly" while disabled people go "finally, something i can use" (snuggies are a classic example - they're designed for wheelchair users). and this is the first time i've looked at one of these and gone "oh, _i'm_ the disability these are for" and even then i would never actually buy these unless they managed to make them quiet, lightweight, and at least half as expensive.
so if i'm the ideal use case and the way these are designed would not actually benefit me at all, then who were these designed _for????_ this is such a classic case of techbros reinventing the wheel. they could've just made some strap-on rollerskates that can't roll backwards and will let you stop on a dime, or heelys with a button that pops the wheels down instead of you having to carry the wheels around in your pocket and put them in manually. would've been way cheaper than whatever this tea-kettle sounding AI-motor cost them to develop.
as a disabled person who constantly have joint pain and psychological pain while walking, I feel like Drew just bought a shoes that simulate my situation
also i agree with you OP
Psst- they actually make the shoes you were talking about where the wheel pops out from inside the shoe. They are 80 bucks but they exist
@@Dokataa :O! do you know what they're called or who makes them? i'd like to look into it further!
@@TheGuindo I'm not sure on brand names, but my cousin has some and the category of shoe is broadly called "kick rollers". They have a button o the back of the heel you press to release the wheels.
as an animation major, the way these shoes make you look when walking is exactly how every animation teacher tells you not to animate walking because it looks unnatural and upsetting
Wellll when these eventually take over the world you can tell your animation teacher to eat rocks about it/s
Edit: ok chill they already said the tone indicator didnt indicate to them i think they got it after the 5th reply telling them thanks
@@timewithjackson3975 did we watch the same video bc those shoes arent taking over the world any time soon
quick edit but i missed the /s in the reply, and i realise now how it was so in my face yet i missed it but oh well. i jus didnt read the comment properly, sorry!
@@toenailsandcheese_ hence the sarcasm tone indicator
@@timewithjackson3975Honestly impressive they missed the sarcasm, not only was it obvious in the text itself so you wouldn’t need a tone indicator, you _used one anyway_ and they still missed it.
@@sparky6757Yeah, it’s honestly masterful. Almost impressive, actually. I’m quite proud, I wish I was that oblivious.
the FUNNIEST thing to me is that he tested them at the orlando fashion square mall-a mall that, as an orlando native, is known to be about 75% abandoned and absolutely desolate in appearance-because there is no way he would be caught dead in those monstrosities 💀
moonstrosities
i hate you sm LMAO@@XakiNyota
The idea that I could encounter this man at anytime in the world is as fascinating as it is unsettling.
It’s such a quaint place, it’s a shame that it’s so close to being a dead mall. I know it can’t compete with a mall like Millennia or The Florida Mall. But it wouldn’t have had to in order to be decently successful pre-recession. Mall brats aren’t fed as well as we used to be. But that’s life.
Either way, it does make for a convenient place to publicly embarrass yourself as little as possible due to hardly anyone being around, like you said.
Dude definitely made a killing off of these things. $1400 a pop and he only spent $14 on the filming of the "tutorial". Killing it man!
$9 of which was spent on the Uber ride to the filming spot
When I first heard of these I thought they were a redesign of the moonshoes that were like trampolines for your feet. Would've been a better idea honestly lol.
could you imagine? Moonboots but with actual benefit to jump-height, possibly to DANGEROUS heights that would get the item pulled from market so they only exist second-hand and you have to buy them from a shady dealer in an alley who always greets you with a trench coat full of different illegal shoe-based products
no? just me?
If you notice most of their ads involve couples and people walking together. Maybe that's what your missing? You should probably get Amanda a pair too so you can give them a fair review.
Soon there will be a video on you channel called “I made moonwalkers but there’s a real moon”. Even if it’s life size and made of polymer clay, it would still probably be lighter
Didn't know Adam was a fellow Danny Gonzalez enjoyer, very cool.
ADAM?
oh cool to see you here
chaos has just entered the chat..
The audio inserts saying “keep walking” “you’re just gonna walk” sounding like a troll, but actually being from the official company is beyond hilarious.
“So as you’re walking… just continue to walk.”
The heel to toe thing sounds stupid as well, however if you look at the guys trying them out, only one got it right. You can go faster as well.
It sounds like a UA-cam Poop
Thing that kills me the most about these shoes is that for a fraction of the cost you could literally just buy a good pair of rollerblades and it would actually be more efficient faster quieter, less strange looking 😂😂😂
Lots of incredibly overengineered stuff out there.
A lot of people can't use rollerblades. I think these are for more disabled people. Most disabled people or older people can't use ruler blades
@@Angelface11I’m disabled with deteriorating functioning my legs, ankles, and feet. I can’t roller blade, but roller skates would be a better alternative to this monstrosity. They look so heavy!
What I love about these is that their weight and awkwardness makes you actually walk slower while wearing them, so you end up moving about the same speed as you would normally walking
Thing is everyone is misunderstanding the shoes, their weight actually makes your legs stronger so you walk faster when you take them _off_
Rock lee of shoes
Only the FANCIEST of ankle weights for me
addendum: the emoji keyboard does not have a dumbbell emoji :(
😮😮😮😮😮😮

Thats pretty cool
As someone in a wheelchair who can’t walk I personally really appreciated the tutorial on how to walk I mean come on how do you expect me to walk in moonwalkers if I don’t know how to walk?!?!?

For all the issues this product has, I still can’t get over the fact that you (have to?) wear shoes INSIDE THE SHOES.
YES HAHAHA I DIDNT GET IT TILL I SAW THE PART OF DREW AND THE BOYS IN THE PARK like whaaat
FR WHY ARE THEY CALLED SHOES IF U HAVE TO WEAR SHOWS INSIDE LMAOO 😭😭😭 they are just roller blade but slower

Couple goals
As a person who lives in a country with crooked sidewalks and patchwork driveways, I find it absolutely hilarious that even if these worked they would be absolutely unwearable in 99% of environments. The only place smooth and straight enough for these is public parks, and at this point you'd probably prefer a skateboard or a bycicle lmaooo
Maybe malls, but they would be too full to use these without running headfirst into someone
"they would be too full to use these without running headfirst into someone"
Considering the amount of malls that are dying, I don't think that's too big of a worry...
Don't forget about stairs and escalators.

@@AirLancer Amount of malls that are dying? Are you just talking about in America? Lol
When I was a kid in the nineties, these were all the hype. They weren't battery powered or AI, but pretty much the same concept: basically rollerskate bottoms you could strap your feet into while wearing shoes. All the fun of rollerskates, without the hassle of taking off your shoes! AND they were size adjustable. And probably less than $20 😂
Those…those are heelys….shoes with wheels on them, they already exist
@@FirstLast-gh6of except the person is talking about an actually strap equip skates that are given to kids and some roller rinks back in the day and even now. Not heelys, which are just shoes with wheels in them.
Get some reading comprehension if you’re gonna try to act smart
@@FirstLast-gh6of no, lol, they're not.
@@FirstLast-gh6of lol I can assume you're too young to have seen these. Def not heelys
Those skates far predate the 90s, my mom had them in the 70s
I think they put the word 'moon' in moonwalkers since, due to the weight of the shoes, they would be perfect in keeping you grounded on the moons surface when you go for your regular stroll on the rocky surface. I think this would be an good use for those shoes
I think the best thing about these shoes is that if you wear them over white shoes, it looks like youre wearing sandals with white socks! Dad energy is great
Drew should give these to Danny then
I love how Drew is just straight up using his channel to subsidize hanging with the boys. 10/10 love seeing the lads.

Drew finding out he can write off anything he buys for a video on his taxes has been excellent for the channel.
he still had to spend $1400 on these
I don't have a You Tube channel so I don't know how this works, but if it's monetized he'd probably make enough to cover the cost....I hope?

You should give the shoes to Danny so he can use these for when he teaches his kid how to walk. They’ll be the fastest human alive (at least when it comes to walking).
as a frequent roller skater, I could put the same amount of energy into walking with my skates on and go 10 times further than these moonwalkers

I use them as a workout device. I wish the batteries lasted a little longer.
@@Dormul do you find that they work for you? i suppose its a bit like rollerblading, maybe
@rencunin It's not like rollerblading because you are walking. It feels like you are walking on moving walkway similar to the ones in the airport and IKEA. It's safer than skating because the wheels stop when you stop walking and you can't move backwards.
Honestly be better off buying steal toed shoes for the extra weight or just using a weighted vest or backpack, this seems so pointless and like a waste of money especially as a workout device

*roller skates
True, probably would be better to make a speed assisted pair of rollerblades
And then they _didn't_ invent it, they, _remade_ it, ripped it off.
Yeah, the ones you attached to your shoes and has wheels on bith sudes existed already at least in 90s but I suspect way earlier too.
I wouldn't be shocked if it was a college assignment that went too far
In conclusion, Heelys are still the only useful innovation in walking technology to exist on the market
Sidenote: If you want to use the shoes, strap them to a laundry basket and use them as a) a wagon for your cat or b) a car to kitchen grocery cart, basically use it as a pair of wheels to attach to other things
Cat wagon is amazing
…a wagon for your cat? /genq
Drew, I propose a race...
You in your Moonwalkers VS Danny in his Fun Slides
after a long day at the office with your moonwalkers there's nothing like relaxing on your moonpod
the idea of a couple just zipping by like theyre no clipping through life but still using a walk animation is so fuckin funny to me
for real, like me and who???
@@arcanealchemist3190 me
Jordan saying “now I serve” when trying to turn the shoes on made me laugh harder than it needed to
Jarvis is actually the only one using them correctly and when he used them they worked. MAGIC XD
I love coming back to this video just cuz despite the product being bad you guys clearly are having a good time hanging out
Oh good to see Drew still keeping the scam industry afloat in this economy
The decibel meter reading is a moot point because adding two sounds of equal decibels only increases the total decibel level by about 3. so if talking is 70dB, and the skates are the exact same volume of 70db, you get a reading of around 73. They were most likely just as loud if not louder than his speaking voice.
Edit: Also, every 10db is double the volume, and conversational speaking is around 60db, so measuring the skates at 70db on average means they are about twice as loud as normal converasation.
also our ears don't perceive loudness equally across the frequency spectrum. higher frequency sounds have greater perceived loudness, so two people having a conversation will sound MUCH quieter than a high pitched whine, even if they're technically the same loudness.
Thank you for explaining. Now I don't have to Google how decibels work.
I just imagine the guy screaming in the video and then editing it quieter in post
@@cornbone Tom Scott’s video on why ads are so loud (from three weeks ago) comes in handy 😅
decibels are a government psyop
Foot race with two people, each one only wearing one of the moon walkers.
I stopped watching drew a while ago because I thought my sense of humor had our grown him but I’ll be damned if that was not that funniest opening to a video I’ve seen in a long time. Masterful
At this point who is stopping any engineer from making shoes that shock you if you walk too slowly?
The idea of something like that kinda links back to "walking correctors", which does sometimes have ableist undertones. Toe-walking is a common issue walking correctors attempt to solve, and it shows up more often in children with autism and other neurological disabilities; in fact, recent studies are showing that it shows up frequently in children with ADHD. While fixing toe-walking isn't inherently a bad thing (as it can cause stress on ligaments and bones), the connotation of having an "irregular walk" often isn't a positive one. A lot of people associate irregular gaits with stupidity (more specifically, with mental disability).
So, you know, while I get you're just trying to make a joke, it made me quite uncomfortable because that was the first thing I thought of.
...Plus some people really are not physically capable of walking faster. Physical disabilities exist too!
Sounds like a William Osman video
@@nomoretwitterhandlesi don't think that's what they meant by that
The Geneva Convention
pitch this straight to michael reeves
I just wanna say, to Drew or folks in the community or whoever else writes the CC for these videos, THANK YOU!! I’m watching just 9 hrs after this was posted and there are already captions written. As someone with horrible audio processing issues this is a huge help! :D
Drew has said before that he pays for a closed captioning service :)
I love that the captions call eddy either jarvis or Jordan a couple times tho haha
Just use your ears
@@TheeOnlyStolas You just helped me so much! I've been impaired in my right ear for many years but then I read your comment and realised I should just use it! thank you so much!
@@TheeOnlyStolas ?? just use your eyeballs and read the words I wrote lol
it's really funny how they spent so much time advertising these as faster shoes, when really they're just slower skates.
There is a The Sims 1 song in The background by the end of the video. The song is called "buy mode 1" and I loved that they chose this song. It's very subtle but it's there
the more companies slap the word AI into their products the more I understand my professor's sigh whenever we tell him about a project idea that includes AI and he asks "What is AI" as his way of saying "is it really AI? does this idea really need AI?" because honestly at this point it turned into the word "organic" for food products; just slap it on anything to give the illusion it is something that people want
AI is more of an umbrella term though and a lot of products or services uses AI. These shoes definitely use AI just like Google or Netflix uses AI and has been for years. It's just that when people think of AI they think of AGI, which is more like the AI seen in science fiction. So AI seems to be a buzz word or fake when that is what it is.
Edit: AI definetely is used as a buzz word and used incorrectly, but in this case they are most likely using AI correctly just not in the way people typically think.
At this point companies just seem to call any type of computing 'AI'.
The shoes compute what you are doing and react. To them, that's artificial intelligence.
@@InexpressableI guess it technically is. What everyone gets "artificial intelligence" confused with is machine learning, which is what people think of when they hear AI. A chip computing things and reacting based on the inputs is still technically a form of artificial intelligence, just not in the way most people would think, in the same way the youtube algorithm would technically be "artificial intelligence"
i was JUST thinking about this as i was watching! AI is a product of code, but not all code is AI
Kinda reminds me of the "nano" fever of the early 2000s
The nanotechnology of nanobots that powered every tech movie's unexplainable device
I love how Drew is not one of these influencers who are just promoting all of this shit but he just does the opposite and buys the stuff and just bashes it in a way that you can't stop watching.
Reverse brand deal
@@mauratyson9580 holy shit you’re right. *Drew* pays *companies* to make people *not* want to buy their product!!
LMFAO @@mauratyson9580
De-influencing at its core
I think you should try to replace the wheels with tank treads and see if they make the shoes better or worse.
I love how with a little tweaking they could've just invented motorized roller skates, which could've been huge, but instead they marketed it as "shoes that make you go 0.2 mph faster" for some reason
Now we have to see the full outfit. Astronaut mask, work wonnie, small ass backpack, military grade belt, and the fast shoes. Then you’ll truly be the God of Buy Try.
Especially since he has the moon pod which is basically like sleeping on a cloud! 😂
@@river-yukimainly because all of the moon pod’s promises are nothing but air!
and the vuori sweatpants
@@sofastuffing over the onesie lmao that would be amazing
The piercing noise is probably the shoes screaming in fear. Don't worry guys, the shoes are much more scared of you, than you are of it 😉😂
I wasn't prepared for Jarvis to glide like an angel
looks like when the walk animation in a game is not synced with the speed of the character
I loved the part where he spent a bunch of money on something stupid for content, if only there was a playlist with a bunch of videos of him doing that
No worries, it can all be written off on taxes
Yeah unfortunately this is the first time he’s ever done this so we’ll just have to wait patiently
@@graceisokay5472but he said he'll never do it again so....
@@geaps the truest believers have hope even in the darkest moments
I wanna see a race with these, a 2010s hoverboard, heelys, a Segway, a onewheel, that motorized luggage bag, and maybe a pogo stick
And it’s pogo stick by a very zigzaggy mile!
Perfect! Call it "the stupid alternative transportation gimmick race."
tbf segways and one wheels are at least relatively consistent and not completely terrible to use
does the 2010’s hoverboard have the seat attachment? if so it’s got my money
my friend broke her kneecap and strained her ACL on a pogo stick that slipped when it landed. im terrified of them now LOL
This is literally cracking me up right now. This is amazing.
