These run small, order a full size up. Otherwise great!
We bought these for my son after he saw he sister zooming past him in her Heelys. I didn’t remember hers running small but his definitely did. My son wears about a 13.5/1 we ordered a size 2 for him and they fit well. These Heely’s definitely run small order a full size up.Other than that they are fantastic and my son loves them and wants to wear them all of the time. There is a slight learning curve but with continued practice they’ll be gliding through the neighborhood in no time.

Watch that balance!
My daughter loves them. She practices keeping balance each day, and I enjoy watching her scoot around on the wheels. I sometimes feel concerned that her beginners balance was not strong, so I made sure that she wore her bike helmet for safety and also I asked her not to wear the heelys for general use; just when she feels like skating around. They have a nice design and the construction of the shoe is sturdy and of good quality. Thanks for the reliable sizing chart. Sizing by measurement made sure that the fit was perfect.

They are not that comfortable to wear all day as shoes because they are a little heavier than most sneakers. Well made though.
I read the reviews before ordering and glad I did. Make sure you order at least 1 size up as they run small. My grandaughter wears a size 2 so I ordered a 3 and because of that the fit was as expected. She loves them but they are hard to get used to skating on. She uses the walls to hold on to until she gets the hang of them. Loves them though and is having fun. Ordered the ones with only one wheel but now wish I would have ordered the ones with 2 wheels on the heels.

"One Ride, One Rip—These Heelys Let us Down!"
Like any good parent, when my youngest son asked for a pair of “those skate shoes” for Christmas, I knew I had one job: get the real deal! No knockoffs! No cheap imitations! Only official Heelys, the legendary shoes that let kids glide through life like majestic rolling gazelles!I found a pair sold through Zappos on Amazon, clicked “Buy Now” with the confidence of someone making a wise investment, and wrapped them up, dreaming of the sheer joy they would bring. Then... winter happened. Snowstorms. Ice. More snow. The Heelys sat in their box, untouched, like a sacred artifact awaiting its destined moment.That moment finally arrived on February 24th. The sun was shining. The snow had melted. My son laced up his brand-new Heelys, stepped outside, and took his first glorious roll into the school halls, where they actually encourage fun things such as "skate shoes " 😎And then—tragedy.Like a cinematic betrayal scene in slow motion, my son rolled up to me after school, face pale with disbelief. The side seam had ripped open, gaping like a wound in the very fabric of our trust. The shoes, which had apparently been worn for a grand total of about 2 hours that morning, had already given up on life. They weren’t built to last. They weren’t even built to exist.Okay, no problem. I’m a reasonable person. I’ll just contact Amazon for a return. I hear all these crazy stories about items being returned with no hassle!Except—plot twist!The return window had slammed shut weeks ago. Never mind that we couldn’t test these shoes unless my son had risked frostbite rolling through a snowstorm. Amazon’s ever-helpful customer service (shoutout to Rufus, the AI bot who offered me thoughts and prayers) basically told me, “Yeah, that’s rough. Anyway, best of luck with your broken dreams.”So now, we are the proud owners of a pair of single-use, self-destructing Heelys. Shoes that lasted less time than an ice cream cone on a summer sidewalk. Shoes that should come with a warning label: “For decorative purposes only.”Final verdict: If you love heartbreak, disappointment, and a solid reminder that return policies are ruthless, these are the shoes for you.Buyer beware. Your first ride might also be your final ride.Note: I am going to make an attempt to contact Heely's directly off of Amazon just to see if they can offer any resolution. It's not that I don't love the idea of Heely's (because I totally wanted a pair for myself,) but when you are faced with a situation like this, their resellers leave you no options or avenues to even reach them about the matter. 🤷🏽♂️Aside from all that, I hope everyone has an amazing day! ✌🏻
