That was in LA Story (the one with the "talking" sign), yes. He uses them
to skate through an art gallery or museum or some such place. It's just
that I don't think this is all that practical for real shoes... The wheels
would have to be small to fit into the sole, and I'd expect the mechanism
that extends them to break fairly often.
While we're at it, anybody want to design a Swiss Army Shoe for SR? :)
