Claims19
A motorized footwear unit comprising:
- an outer sole and an upper;
- the outer sole being dissected into the sections, including from the toe towards the heel at least a sole portion, a transverse non-sole material space, and a rear sole portion;
- a transverse axle structure for supporting spaced apart wheels accommodated in the transverse spaced portion of the sole;
- a motorized mechanism located essentially in the body of the shoe between the outer sole and the below the upper;
- and
- the motorized mechanism being for operating the wheels so as to permit wheel rotation and to permit turning of the wheels to facilitate directing the motorized footwear in selected directions.

A motorized footwear unit comprising:
- an outer sole and an upper;
- the outer sole being dissected into the sections, including from the toe towards the heel at least a sole portion, the outer sole including two transverse spaced non-sole material areas, a first transverse spaced area being for a forward located transverse axle, the forward transverse axle being located in the spaced non-sole material area rearward of the toe area of the footwear and a second transverse rear axle being located in a spaced non-sole material area located forwards of the heel portion of the footwear.
- a transverse axle structure for supporting spaced apart wheels accommodated in the transverse spaced portion of the sole;
- a motorized mechanism located essentially in the body of the shoe between the outer sole and the below the upper, the motorized mechanism being for operating the wheels so as to permit wheel rotation and to permit turning of the wheels to facilitate directing the motorized footwear in selected directions;
- a pair of front wheels, and wherein the axle for front wheels is substantially largely located relative to the face formed by the under face of the outer sole;
- and
- a pair of rear wheels, and wherein the axle for rear wheels is substantially largely inset relative to the face formed by the heel portion of the outer sole.

A motorized footwear unit comprising:
- an outer sole and an upper;
- the outer sole extending from the toe towards the heel, two transverse areas wherein a first transverse spaced area is for a forward located transverse axle, and a second transverse area for a rear axle located forwards of the heel portion of the footwear;
- the transverse axle structures for supporting spaced apart wheels;
- a motorized mechanism located essentially in the body of the shoe between the outer sole and the below the upper, the motorized mechanism being for operating the wheels so as to permit wheel rotation and to permit turning of the wheels to facilitate directing the motorized footwear in selected directions;
