I'm glad you asked. Those "omnidirectional VR shoes" are merely a form of artificial locomotion. The same as the joystick but with extra computation between the user and the input. While I think these devices are important and will be used in the future when the tech is sufficient enough, currently they are limiting, expensive, and bulky. Not to mention NONE of them maintain the true gate and movement of a person. If you want to freely move in VR with the tech we have right now you can with Manual Redirected Walking or MRDW. Anyone can do MRDW with a midsized playspace of 2mx2m or larger. And with the advancements of the very next gen headset(wireless primarily) it will only get easier. It doesn't limit the user nearly to the degree of any other solution, its free(if you have the room), and does not require extra hardware. I would say that the difference between MRDW/RDW to any other solution is like that of a manual car vs an automatic. A manual will always give the user far greater control, if they choice to learn it.
