Oh YES! I recently had the opportunity to test out Heely’s, (you know the sneakers with wheels in the heels). Since they came onto the scene,I have always wanted a pair, I thought they would be perfect for keeping up with my little one, but alas they were only for kids at the time. Well not anymore!

Naturally I selected the groovy purple ones…

I, like many other kids grew up wearing my roller skates, which seemed much more easier to pick up on, and natural, and , but hey I was young then and you pick stuff up much faster. Then Roller Blades came out, which did take me much longer to learn, now we have Heely’s.  This definitely has been much more trickier then I anticipated, but that’s because kids just make everything look so much easier.  Though it took some time to get in the swing (and no i’m not doing any jumps or twists… YET!), it is a lot of fun, and quite a nice little workout.

I found the construction of the shoe to be quite durable, and very well cushioned which made it feel very comfortable on with out making my feet look overly wide like other “skater shoes”.  The laces seemed a bit short to me, which I guess is so you don’t trip on them, but other than that, very well made.  I also liked the fact you can take the wheel off rather easily and pop on a cover to wear the shoes regularly. There is a very large selection to choose from so you can get them to go with just about anything.

Also if you go to the Heely’s Website you will find several motivational and instructional videos which I found extremely useful. It takes practice but its been worth it, and I totally recommend you grab a pair and get your spin on. Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?
