Riding the Wave with Heelys

When I  received my Heelys the first thing I noticed was the warning labels on the box. Every side of the box has a red warning label.



Heelys takes extra precaution by providing a safety playbook and instructional videos  to their customers. It is important to remember that even though they are fun you still need to take the proper precautions and wear the proper protective gear.


The second thing I noticed was how great these shoes looked. They truly are stylish. I love that Heelys caters to all age groups both male and female. They have all sorts of styles and colors to choose from. I chose the wave style: black with a green Heelys logo, black shoelaces and green stripes. My one gripe is that Heelys only come in whole sizes and they do not have wide sizes. My feet are wide, therefore, I needed to go up to the next size. Overall, the fit is nice but a little tight in the toe area. These shoes are of great quality and are quite comfortable to wear as regular shoes. 



Now it has been some time since I have even been on a pair of skates, so when I first tried out the Heelys I was a bit nervous. They take some time getting used to. Instead of skating with your feet flat, like you would do with skates, you skate more on your heels with your toes pointed upward. 

So there I was in the garage for my first Heelys lesson, my baby and my husband cheering me on. At first I was unsteady and I almost lost my footing. Then I was able to heel longer an longer all while holding my husbands hand. Yes, I am a wimp and couldn't do it on my own. My balance is not like it used to be. Even if I never learn to heel on my own it is still fun and a great workout at the same time, plus, I can always wear my Heely's as regular shoes.


Want a pair of your own?

Heelys is throwing a Labor Day/Back-to-School special!! Between Sept 2-Sept 5, Buy one pair of Heelys, get the second pair for only $30!

Check out Heelys Facebook and Twitter page for updates and deals.


I was sent a pair of Heelys shoes through Business 2 Blogger from Heelys for free in the hope that I would mention it on my blog. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
