  • Patent number: 11826634
    Abstract: Disclosed is a power-driven shoe. The shoe includes a shoe sole having a plurality of rotatable wheels arranged below the shoe sole in an overlapping fashion. The distance between the rotational axis of the wheels is less than or equal to the diameter of the wheel, such that vertical obstacles can be overcome in both the positive and negative displacement directions for increased ground stability. The shoe sole includes a toe part and a sole part that are connected to each other, via a hinge, in both a rotational and translational configuration, such that at least one front wheel or at least one middle wheel are independently in contact with the ground while maintaining at least one rear wheel in contact with the ground throughout a bi-pedal gait cycle, allowing for comfort during a user's natural range of motion.
