A magnetically levitated universal running machine is composed of running shoes and a running base which can all produce magnetic fields and interact with each other. When a user wears the running shoes and walks on the running base, the running shoes can be subjected to electromagnetic force exerted by the running base, micron-scale levitation is achieved, and therefore the friction between the running shoes and the running base is reduced; meanwhile, the running shoes are subjected to electromagnetic force of which the direction is opposite to the moving direction of the user, the rear foot retreats backwards while the front foot moves forwards, and therefore in-situ natural walking is achieved. The magnetically levitated universal running machine can improve body building modes of modern people and achieve free walking of a game player in a virtual reality game.
