Heelys Straight Up Skate Shoe (Little Kid/Big Kid)

My son's grandma purchased for my 8yr old son. Half sizes aren't available, so we ordered a half size up. They are a little big, but I'm sure he will quickly grow into them. The shoe is high quality and the wheels work great. My son loves riding them everywhere - except at school of course! My only complaint is that he has a hard time just plain walking in them which wasn't expected.

This is a great shoe for kids who love roller blading, skating, skate boarding, and the bonus is you can even wear them in the malls!! Disclaimer: Your kids will gets A LOT of attention, at first glance it appears they are floating around. Although Hellys have been around for quite some time, they're still a novelty, and not a lot of kids have them. I recommend that your kids should be comfortable on skates (or some sort of wheels) before buying them a pair of these, otherwise they can be a little tough to get used to. But once they get it, it's smooth sailing. They are very comfortable and the wheels pop right out if they want to convert them to regular running shoes.They arrived quickly and packaged well. Fits as expected, but I recommend going up a size so they can grow into them and get more use out of them. Even a little big, they don't fall off if you tighten the laces well because of the great quality of the shoe.

My son loves his Heelys, and as other customers have mentioned, I did order a size up, and that worked out perfectly. My son is actually between a 2 and a 3, and I ordered the 4. So I guess you could say I ordered a size and a half up.The shoes look sharp and are comfortable on my son. The black and royal blue is attractive. And as far as the included wheels, they are great, built to withstand a beating, and my son is getting the hang of using them.My only issue with these shoes is the quality of the material. The black is already scuffed after one use, and it is as if the black is a thin layer of velveteen that got scraped right off. These are not the type of shoes that are going to be worn to a recital or to church. These are skate shoes that are going to get bumped and scuffed. I would not expect them to remain looking brand new for long, but I would have hoped that a pair of athletic skate shoes were more durable than to be covered in basically a thin velveteen type material.My son is still enjoying his shoes, and they do offer support and are comfortable for him to walk in when he chooses to remove the wheels and use them as regular tennis shoes. Removing and inserting the wheels is simple.Overall, I am pretty pleased with the comfort and support these shoes offer as well as the sturdy wheels.I paid full price for this item. All opinions are my own.

My daughter loves her Heelys and after about a week, she was an expert with them. The shoes run small and I had to return a previous order for a larger size. Order at least one full size bigger for both boys and girls. The wheel pops out fairly easily if they get a leaf or something in them and pop back in with little effort. Now, she zooms everywhere!

The shoe itself is fine - but the size way out. Our daughter wears size 13 (with a fair bit of room left), so we bought her size 1 to last longer. But the shoe was far too small, she could barely squeeze her foot in. Lots of tears, especially given she bought the shoes with her own money. And it was a long wait to get them as we don't live in the US.We ended up buying size 3 after that. They've got plenty of growing room but she can wear them fine.I should add we frequently buy shoes on Amazon and have never had sizing issues before. This is a first. I'd read others' reviews on Heelys' small sizing but dismissed them after seeing that most people reported the as true to size. In our experience, they are far from that.

We ordered the size 2 blue and they fit too small. When we went up to a 3 (1/2 to 1 full size bigger than he is wearing now) they fit just right. They look great, easy to put together and my son says they are comfortable.My son is 6 and is athletic. However, the first time he wore these he jumped up to catch a ball and fell back hard. I would recommend a helmet for children at least until they are practiced.These are absolutely what we wanted. We are very happy with them.

Bought these for my 9yr old son and he puts them on and rolls around every chance he gets. Was a bit difficult at first but he fairly quickly got the hang of it. Only regret is that I did not choose a brighter colour - the back one with blue sole would have been "way more cool!" I believe they are slightly small in sizing, was more of a snug fit than expected.

My 9 year olds loves these! These are actually very sturdy shoes that are holding up well. They even look nice. He is able to remove the wheels and change them out on his own without difficulty and they stay tied which has been an issue for us in the past. The fit was great! They arrived on time and in new condition. Even the packing was pristine. We would definitely order these again.

Most popular Christmas present this year - fit anfnwork great.

Excellent product, Arrived way sooner than expected!
