A Pittsburgh-bred engineering company touts the innovative Moonwalkers as the “world’s fastest shoe.”

Shift Robotics’ game-changing design lets you walk at a standard pace while accelerating each step to the point that you’re practically running.

The shoe boasts an AI drivetrain that uses algorithms to adapt to each user’s stride & leg extension, which cooperates with an ergonomic hinge system that deems the Moonwalker transcendently comfortable. 

Shift claims the shoe offers a whopping 250% boost in walking speed, which can help pedestrians reach their destination in what feels like a matter of no time.

Its adjustable magnetic release buckles that fit any shoe, allowing you to slip into anything from Vans to hiking boots before throwing on these intuitive wonders.

To operate the Moonwalkers, you must account for its two modes: Lock & Shift. It starts in the former, as the electronic brake fully locks the wheels until you enter shift mode by lifting your right heel & rotating it toward the opposite leg.

It’s not often you see a shoe powered by USB-C, you can garner over 6 miles of range with a 90-minute charge.
