Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought these for my son's 11th birthday- he has worn heelies in the past and both his younger siblings have heelies- his feet are almost adult size (7 in men's) and I was concerned about whether or not they would carry his weight appropriately, but there was no cause for concern. We love them! They glide faster than heelies, seem to be easier to control both in being able to pivot the foot and ankle (heelies have a fixed wheel) and brake easier, and super easy to put on and off once you figure them out. The ability to leave them in the car at the grocery store but slip them on for a stroll down the street is a huge plus too. They are absolutely more lightweight and simple to pick up while wearing, but I'd say make sure if you (or your child) are wearing these for the first time and have never worn something like heelies to wear ample protection on the elbows and knees because they are NOT like roller skates or blades. For the price, I think they are a great value and investment in exercise and time!
