In this hilarious [Foot Locker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/store-of-the-future-concept) commercial entitled ‘Buttershoes,’ two boys weed out the ugly girls from the hot. Surprisingly however, their judgments aren’t based on physical appearances.

The Foot Locker commercial features a young, attractive girl walking into class. After drooling over her good looks, the fellas realized that she was a ‘Buttershoes,’ meaning her entire look was super hot -- except [her shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-wonderfully-unordinary). In turn, the girl's good looks weren't enough to win the boys' hearts. Be sure to watch the video and see this creative spin on typical high school stereotypes.
