At the end of the video the pranksters record the woman putting her shoes back on, looking unimpressed.
The viral videos have divided viewers on TikTok, prompting a debate on whether the prank was cruel or justified.
Some users said the prank would stop the woman from putting her feet on seats or leaving her property unattended in the future.
‘Serves her right’, one user said.
‘If anything, it’s a lesson learned not to leave your shoes there, because someone could have taken them’, another commented.
However the majority of viewers slammed the the pranksters.
‘At least she took her shoes off and the carriage wasn’t full. She’s obviously tired and you guys have no idea what she’s going through’, one said.
‘Sad little boys! What if someone did this to your mum, sister or girlfriend?’ another questioned.

A spokesperson from Sydney Trains said that while the vast majority of their customers do the right thing, there’s unfortunately a small minority that spoil it for others.
‘Sydney Trains encourages all our customers to treat others with respect during their journey, including never interfering with someone else’s property.
‘We ask our customers to help us by reporting any incidents of anti-social behaviour to police or Sydney Trains staff.
‘We also remind customers to be aware of their surroundings and belongings while travelling.’
