How much would you pay to shorten your NYC commute? Astoria resident Sam Ressler, 26, shelled out $1,200 to reclaim precious minutes, speeding up the daily trek to and from his SoHo office in a novel new way — with a pair of motorized Moonwalkers Aero shoes. Like a pair of rollerskates that require less effort — or sandals with the get-up-and-go of an electric scooter or an e-bike — these four-pound foot assists can shave your walking time down by roughly 50%, according to maker Shift Robotics. 9 Scooters and bikes pale in comparison to the convenience and ease of Moonwalkers Aero, according to Sam Ressler.
