Okay assuming these are real and assuming you can walk in them, fuck me that's an amazing piece of engineering. I generally don't even care how they look. To get these to work as a high heel is unbelievably impressive.
I want to be able to stand still while the hundreds of little legs on my shoes scurry to propel me forward
Give me a $250,000 research grant, 5 other engineering students, and a nebulous deadline at some point in the next 30 years, and consider it done.
Only the prototype of course. Another 100 million for the actual product probably covers it
