Now that's some motherfucking roach stompers! You can even get em on the ceiling with those bad boys.

Do they walk everywhere or do they have a different set of driving boots?

They run by leaning forward, bouncing in high and long strides.

If you're genuinely asking, most aren't quite so bad as this although there are some pretty crazy ones I've seen around Houston. If someone wants to wear something like this usually they'll put them on when they get where they're going.

This guy can fall forward and he'll just flip all the way over
