Posted: 27 Aug 2012 07:18 AM PDT

Several months ago, we covered futuristic spnKiX shoes that come with built-in motor, but back then, these shoes were just a Kickstarter project, but now they are available for sale, so let's have a closer look at them.

If you're too tired to walk, spnKiX shoes might be perfect for you since they come with a 85 W wheel motor, and a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery located at the back of each shue. As for the battery, according to the reports it will take about five hours to recharge your battery, and once you've charged your shoes, you can travel up to 6 miles or about 9.6 kilometers with them. We don't know how fast these shoes can go, but there's a handheld wireless remote that you use to adjust the speed.
