Heelys Shoes

Heelys are sneakers with removable wheels in the heel. By shifting weight onto the heel, riders can roll forward; remove the wheels to convert them into regular shoes.

Beginners often start with two‑wheel models for added stability. Single‑wheel shoes offer more agility and are preferred once riders gain confidence.

They range from children’s sizes to adult sizes. Always consult the size chart and choose the larger size if you’re between sizes to accommodate thicker socks.

Heelys are safe when used responsibly. Wear protective gear, practise in a flat area and learn to balance before rolling in crowded spaces.

School policies vary. Many schools require the wheels to be removed during class. Always check with your school’s rules and use heel plugs if needed.

Clean shoes with a damp cloth, remove dirt from wheels and bearings, and allow shoes to dry naturally. Replace wheels when they become worn or don’t spin smoothly.

Yes. Heelys offers adult sizes and styles, allowing parents to join in the fun alongside their kids.

Most models include a tool to remove and insert wheels and plugs to fill the cavity when the wheels are removed.

Start by finding your balance on the wheels, keep your weight centred and practise gliding with one foot while pushing off with the other. Progress slowly and wear protective gear until you’re confident.
