Ha…um…well, probably not! You know what they say…once you break a hip you die…
I totally tried though! I swear I did! I don’t know what crazy state I was in that made me think I could possibly pull it off. Maybe it was the old school skater girl in me…the very very old school. I’m not that young skater girl anymore and I must have taken too many meds the day I signed up and said “Oh yea! I can skate in Heelys. Make a video? No problem!”
At first I beat myself up over it. You know, the fact that I never moved away from being able to fall on the couch while wearing them. I watched videos that other women made of them cruising on the concrete like pros in their stylin’ Heelys. But then I came back to the reality that there is no reason to beat myself up. I have RSD. I tried! but falling with RSD is nothing to shrug off. Risking a fall could put me out of commission from extreme pain for weeks.
I did try though…That’s what counts right? RIGHT?
The awesome thing is, they fit Morgan! She has always wanted a pair of Heelys, but I didn’t know they made them in adult sizes until this review came about. Also, my sporty girl Lauren who is only 7 is cruising around the house in these Heelys (right this moment) that are a hundred sizes too big and she is pulling it off like she’s headed to the X Games!
Morgan loves the shoes! It took her a bit to get the hang of it, but now it’s like second nature to her. I was so impressed with how cool they look! The pair I picked looked more like a pair of skater shoes, therefore very appealing to me since that is what I normally wear. Look, here is me near the safety of the couch!
So here is the plan, I’ll share the shoes with Morgan! The wheels come out…this is how I will wear them. Put the wheels back in and it’s all teenage angst girl. She can have them, because my gimpy self is not qualified for it!
They have a guide with videos to help you learn to use them, there is even some fancy tricks you (not me) can do in them. Oh and don’t forget the Playbook!
Atleast I know what to get Lauren for her birthday next Spring! You guessed it, Heelys that are her size! You’ll see her at the X Games! Wait…do they have Heelys in the X Games?
So my opinion? Well, as much as I want to be all cool and fly around the grocery store in Heelys…it just ain’t happening! But…they are super cool and my kids love them! I only wish I had them like 30 years ago!
Be sure to like Heelys on Facebook and follow them on Twitter!
Disclosure: I was sent the pair of Heelys shown above by Business2Blogger to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.
I would totally kill myself in those shoes…no really I would! My son wants them and he is kind of like me so I’ve said no for now LOL
I so would of loved to give those a try. I’ll have to secretly purchase a pair so I can video myself wheeling in envy after my children while i try to keep my feet on the ground lol

I like these shoes but I don’t think I could wear them at all. But it’s so cool to see the kids rolling through the mall.

All my daughters have all had fun with Heelys. I even had a pair for myself, but I didn’t use them a whole lot because I don’t want to fall and break anything.
I like the pair that have pictured, they are very stylish!

My son and I actually both have heelys. Mine mostly sit in my closet because I hurt my groin so bad trying to learn. It’s frustrating, I don’t know how kids make it look so easy!!

Thanks for the laugh! I assure you that I was laughing WITH you and not AT you. I have thought about buying some Heelys before but I’m sure I would break a hip and then be sent to the glue factory! Kudos to you and your bravery.
