A normal shoe has a bottom which is formed into a tread-like pattern in some sort of rubber or plastic for traction.
The Skooe's sole, however, is made mostly of rubber, but on the area of the sole just beneath the toes and balls of feet, it has a small section where there is no rubber and in
its' place, a part of a ski or snowboard. This allows the runner to be sprinting along a hallway, as he or she would normally do, then when reaching his/her maximum, speed, rest all of his/her weight on the ski part of the Skooe. The runner would slide gracefully on the Skooe's highly polished surface.
This would also be effective on wet tile, carpeting, snow, and ice.

Why slide? The friction is much less when you use a wheel. [Cedar Park, Oct 17 2005]

Had something like these in the states for a while, called soaps. They were kind of the oppisite of what you are describing they had regualr grip at the toe and heel but the instep was a slick plastic. You could grind down rails on them. Popular with boys. Wonder if there is a website... Yep there's a website. But I still won't say its Widely Known to Exist. |

| |
The instep?! As in the top of the foot? Grinding? Ow. |
|
| |
I'm more of a slider than a grinder, so it's Skooes over Soaps for me. [+] |

Could also be used for the noble sport of "Caution: Wet Floor" sign jumping. See main index under "sport." |

Ok, I'll be nice now as I voted for both of these ideas. |
|
| |
Okay fine, I admit it, I couldn't remember the parts of the feet. I meant arches. The underneath part of the foot that curves. :) |
|
| |
So what's an instep then? |
|
| |
I believe it's the over part of the foot, that curves. As in you can get arch support, and it is painful to have your instep stepped on. |

and this little piggy went wheee, whee, whee, all the way home.... |

//So whats the top surface of a foot called, then?// |
|
| |
So what's the instep again? |
|
| |
That bit just under the tongue of your skooe. |
|
| |
The instep is the located near the small of the back. |
|
| |
The innstep is across the pub doorway. |
