So they're not 'Moonwalker' shoes at all are they?? If you read the description, it only allows him to lean far forward while on a special platform on the stage. It doesn't let him do the moonwalk.
He would have used them to do that 'leaning' move during the Smooth Criminal performance.
I had a look at the patent website as well, and they are not called Moonwalker shoes. They are called anti-gravity shoes.

Why do people make such things up??
That's like the time they said he was booed offstage during the WMA, when no such thing happened. I was there!

They are called Moonwalker shoes because the name of the song he does the 'lean' in is called Moonwalker. The lean is done in Moonwalker, hence, Moonwalker Shoes.
