What’s a Heely?
shoes with wheels on the bottom
EDIT: One per shoe.
Is that an american thing?
I’ve never seen this in my entire life… And I spent one summer working at a shoe store!
Probably. Me neither, except online.
I still have a pair, in the summer I’m wearing them out again!
Bouncers will boot you from clubs for heelying. They are cool as shit to dance in if you can get away with it though.
Having tried to use Heelys… I’m inclined to believe it is pretty cool if you don’t manage to eat dirt wearing them.
I bought some for the first time in my life a few years ago, and it took about a month of practice before I felt pretty stable (I’m in my 30’s). Except for a dislocated rib one time, most of my falls were pretty minor. Now I can zoom with them, mostly at work (I work nights at a hospital)
Yall remember Soaps? The shoes you could grind with
I had the Soap shoes. Never grinded anything with rollerblades, barely able to use a skateboard, but thought the shoes would be the trick. Took them out for their maiden voyage to the auto show.
I saw my opportunity to grind on a nice set of shiny steps that went up to a fancy car. The second I hit the “grind” they stick and I go flying to the floor. I’ve never made so many people stop what they were doing.
The look on all these people faces were nothing short of “what is wrong with you?”
Side note I have a pair of adult size Heelys, they’re a bit impractical to use as actual shoes cuz you need a tool to remove the wheels, if I remember correctly the kid’s sizes the wheel mechanism popped in and out of the sole.
Even back when they were being advertised I thought they were pretty silly. Heelys could be used almost anywhere, but the grinds were like so situation specific.
this brings back memories…
