HEELYS

Heelys are a super easy way to speed up your step in one easy switch of balance, and not to mention being one of the most popular pair of Skate Shoes on the market. For maximum stability, place your feet staggered apart. With one foot in front of the other while remaining parallel, transition the weight of your heel and raise the ball of your foot in the air. We recommend a slight run up into this position helps achieve maximum traction into your glide. With the added support of a second wheel, Heelys X2 offer an easier beginner style with a little more security.

The regular Heelys one wheel model offers maximum speed capabilities as well as more freedom of movement by allowing for more lift. To brake in your Heelys, we recommend allowing yourself to naturally slow before leaning into a jog slowing down to a walk. We do not recommend leaning back on your heels further to slow down as this is misuse and will damage the shoe over time. Heelys are a great easy alternative to get around on wheels without the use of a Skateboard or Scooter.

There are two types of Heelys to suit users. The Heelys X2 model is generally recommended towards younger users and beginners. These start at a Junior size 11 and we would generally advise Heelys as being for 5 years and up. The double wheel is more beneficial for smaller feet with the second wheel providing a little extra support further into the foot as well as extra floor traction.

The back wheel is slightly larger than the front which helps balance the rider into the correct Heely position, while also providing that extra support. The single wheel model has a larger wheel which offers the user the ability to be further off the floor and allows for greater speed in your glide. The two wheeled option is a versatile choice in terms of being able to remove the smaller wheel to become a single wheel version when the user is comfortable and ready.
