BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE Field of the Disclosure [0001] This disclosure relates to the toy or entertainment device in the form of footwear. A motorized mechanism is associated with the footwear toy and amusement device. [0002] Many forms of motorized vehicles are known which are in the form of trucks, cars, and other vehicles normally representative of a full-size vehicle. [0003] Such vehicles have at least a couple of wheels to facilitate movement on a surface. The vehicles can be motorized and under the control of a remote controller which wirelessly communicates with the musical device or toy as necessary. [0004] There is a need for a different form of motorized unit and this disclosure is directed to meeting that need. SUMMARY [0005] The present disclosure relates to a footwear unit which is motorized. In particular, it concerns a footwear element which is not only movable on the surface but which is not normally associated with motorization. Further, such footwear is in the form of a shoe, boot or the like which is normally an article to be worn by a user is the subject of the present disclosure. [0006] According to the disclosure, the footwear includes an outer sole and an upper and a body between the upper and the sole. Within that body there is a motorized unit and wheels are located essentially along the broad side of the zone defined by the periphery of the outer sole. The sole can have different portions, namely, one or more sole portions and one or more spaced portions between the sole portions. In the spaced portions there is room to accommodate an axle for pairs of rotatable wheels which can be located towards the toe and towards the heel portion of the footwear. The sole can be made of the normal plastic or rubberized material for normal footwear. Similarly the upper material is formed from the normal upper material which can be a leather other natural or synthetic material. As such, the footwear is a relatively natural looking shoe or boot and is sized to be large enough to fit on the foot of a user. [0007] In a particularly attractive and useful form of the device the footwear is an athletic shoe and is sized for the normal footwear of an adult sports player. As such it can for instance be the size of an adult basketball player, and therefore can be for a relatively large adult. [0008] The motorized unit can include a receiver to receive signals from a remote controller and there can be a battery pack for operating the motorized unit. [0009] As such, the disclosure is directed to a footwear element which is motorized, such that the footwear element in the form of a virtual shoe can be seen made to move over a surface as regulated by signals from a controller. A remote controller unit is wirelessly connected with the receiver. [0010] While the disclosure is susceptible to more embodiments made in different forms, there is shown in the accompanying drawings a description of a detailed specific embodiment whether it should be understood that the present disclosure is to be considered an exemplification of the principles of the invention and is not intended to be limited of the invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0011] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an athletic shoe illustrating three wheels, the fourth wheel being hidden behind the heel portion, and showing an antenna for a receiver in the body of the shoe. [0012] FIG. 2 is a front view of the shoe. [0013] FIG. 3 is an alternative front view of the shoe showing the axle tilted so that the wheels are at different levels. [0014] FIG. 4 is a rear view of the shoe. [0015] FIG. 5 is a front view of the shoe with the body of the shoe shown in phantom and the portions of the motorization shown in different block elements. [0016] FIG. 6 is a side view of the shoe relative to a surface from which the shoe can move. This surface can be relatively flat, for instance the floor of a basket ball court. [0017] FIG. 7 is a top view of the shoe. [0018] FIG. 8 is a under view of the shoe with the outer sole removed. [0019] FIG. 9 is a under view of the shoe showing an under view of the outer sole and displaced portions for accommodating the front axle and rear axle. [0020] FIG. 10 is a under view of the shoe showing the sole with the wheels turned. Continue reading about Remote control motorized footwear...
