What are HEELYS ?

Freedom is a wheel in your sole. These great looking sporty skate shoes feature a stealthy, removable skate wheel in the heel, perfect for skaters of all skill levels. Heelys is the original designed to be worn as a shoe with included Heel Saver plug, then converted to skates with an easy-install wheel. Technical, authentic, and most importantly, lots of fun, Heelys are available for men, women, and kids on Skates.com.
Heelys are shoes that allow the rider to immediately transition from walking and running to rolling just by transitioning their stance. Heelys are relatively new and were introduced in 1997.

Heelys shoes are high quality street shoe that have a single removable wheel in the heel of each shoe. The wheels have a very low profile and can be kept in place while walking or running. The rider assumes a stance balanced on their heels to begin rolling. To stop, the rider simply puts the front of their shoes down or uses the heel to brake.

Learning to "heely" takes a little practice, but generally speaking, it's about as easy to learn as skateboarding. The most important thing with Heelys as a sport is maintaining a balanced stance. Once this can be done, it's difficult to fall under normal circumstances. However, as with all riding devices, appropriate safety gear should be worn when you have your Heelys wheels installed. Removing and replacing Heelys wheels is literally easy as a snap, and off you go. Learn more on our "How to Heely Video" here

Heelys shoes are made to last. The outside of the shoes are made of double or triple stitched materials, designed to handle the wear and tear of daily use. The soles of the shoes are made of an ultra-durable rubber that is more resistant to wear than usual street shoes. Newer Heelys models include a heel that is extra thick, to last through all the braking.

As far as comfort goes, Heelys are designed to be comfortable enough to wear all day long, all week long. Heelys are not stiff like the wheeled shoes you find in toy stores. Heelys flex like regular shoes while also adding 1 - 2 inches to your height. Don't worry about excessive pressure on the heel since the wheel is held in place by a large bracketing system that distributes the pressure across the back of the foot. Heelys also have extra-thick cushioning and even incorporates gel or sorbothane insoles to give you a soft walk and a smooth ride.

Heelys wheels are designed for performance. The most technical and tested part of the shoes are the wheels. Heelys use custom wheels designed for long, smooth rides. The treads are made of a unique urethane that is durable enough to resist wear, yet flexible enough to absorb some of the shock from the road. Heelys use high-performance micro-bearings and full size 608 bearings in some newer models to provide a long, smooth ride. The bearings are shielded to reduce the maintenance requirements, and reinforced to handle extreme jumps and tricks. The wheels can be easily removed if you are not going to be rolling for a while, and are small enough to fit in a pocket.

Freedom is the ability to roll where you never could roll before. Heelys, "Freedom is a wheel in your sole..."
