Why have these gone out of style?

I mean, think about how practical they are, or the shoes with the fold out wheels.

Easily transition from walking to rolling in seconds, comfy, fashionable.

Having worked in a warehouse for 6 months, I thought about how nice it would've been to have a pair.

Worked at a pretty big department store for a few years. Always wanted to get a pair just to roll around at work.
