Review: Heely’s Shoes

You know those shoes with wheels on the back of them?  Well, it was always my secret desire to own a pair of them.

When Heely’s Shoes showed up in my inbox, I got really excited then went to their site and realized, “oh, is this just for children and grew deeply disappointed.  A week later I went back to the site and grew excited when I realized that YES, adult’s could use Heely’s too.

Heely’s has a variety of different shoes to choose from.  Shoes for boys, shoes for girls, shoes for adults.  Find your favorite pair on the site and choose your favorite.

When I saw the shoes above, I knew, because of the flower where the clasp goes I had to have these.

When they first arrived, the shoes come with covers so you could really use the shoes for everyday walking.  The wheels come unattached,  but with a simple snap into place, you’re off.

Unwrap the wheels and the stickers around them then place into the back slots of the shoes in the “heel” area.

Heely’s recommends when you first put them on to grab something near you and practice rolling on your heels.  I did that a few times.  They also recommend wearing helmets and pads to protect you.  It does take a bit to get use to.

And this past weekend I wore them everywhere I went to get a feel for them.  I need a ton of practice on the rolling part.  I’m just not all that good at it.

But I can definitely see where this would be fun for children with their grace and less weight.

As an adult, the Heely’s are a little more difficult to utilize.  More weight weighs them down, and makes it a lot harder to balance upon.  However, I am not giving up.

I find when I hold onto my partner as we’re walking I have a little more luck with utilizing the rolling heel portions.  By the end of the month I will be a pro, and will showcase more photos, that’s a promise!!
