Worth knowing

A useful reality check

Powered rolling shoes need a suitable surface, a confident user and a careful fit. They are not a drop-in replacement for ordinary walking footwear.

Our take

Why it caught our eye

Moonwalkers use wheels, sensors and gait control to assist rolling movement as the user walks. They are an intriguing change to how footwear works, but the surface, fit and user confidence determine whether the novelty becomes useful.
