Abstract
A ball-skating device is an apparatus allowing two degrees of freedom between a user's foot and multiple contact points on the ground. The apparatus includes a piece of footwear, a plurality of ball-roller assemblies, and a plurality of assembly cavities. The piece of footwear is worn on a user's foot and is used to enclose the user's foot. The assembly cavities traverse into a sole of the piece of footwear and are used to situate the ball-roller assemblies on the bottom of the sole. The ball-roller assemblies receive the applied weight of a user's foot and makes contact at multiple points with the ground, all of which allows the ball-roller assemblies to roll the user's foot across the ground.
