They are shoes and skates. I must say they are way better than those metal skates we had to attach to our shoes when I was growing up. Remember those? Those were the Heelys of our day. I miss skating. It was all I did as a kid. My children are so cautious that they rarely adventure into the world of skating. Heely's gave me the opportunity for my son to give them a try. He loves them as shoes. He is tolerating them as skates. It's not the skates fault. Kids now days don't seem so inclined to stay outside and just play. Or do what I did, practice for hours on end getting better at skating. Here's a very short video of my son trying to skate on his heelys.
