Segway Shoes

Segway motion technology built into walking shoes.

You've seen kids roller shoes that have built-in wheels that allow you to roll like roller skates. Why not Segway technology to enable powered motion dependent on orientation of the wearer. This would be handy in a warehouse or large buildings like the Pentagon. However the power source and electronics would probably need to reside in an external pack. Unless outrageously large platform shoes make a comeback. It could open up new niche sports, Olympic events or new forms of expressive dance - especially when 2 dimensional Segway Technology appears (on a ball instead of a wheel)

Pardon my YASD (Yet Another Segway Device).
