I got these for my 7YO son, they are just as advertized, they arrived quickly.. He hasnt yet mastered "heeling" so he usually wears them without the wheels in place. The wheels easily snap in or out and you remove a little door with a tool to access the wheels. They do run small,he usually wears a 13 or 1 in shoes, I got him a size 2 and they are perfect for him. 5 stars

My son got these for Christmas. My 6 year old loves them and is learning how to ride them. I didn't do much research and didn't realize these weren't retractable. I think that is the only thing I "assumed". Again - this is my fault for not reading everything and I give it 5 stars for his reaction and enjoyment. He just gets frustrated the wheels don't hide and have to be popped out each time.

My 6 year old daughter has really enjoyed these Heely's. It took her a couple of days to catch on how to skate with them. But, she has got it now and wants to actually keep shopping at the grocery stores so she can skate more. 5 stars

I bought these shoes for my 8 year old nephew....he had them on less than 5 minutes after he opened them. They are pretty good looking shoes, not a bulky as the original Heelys were. Lots of styles and colors to choose from. The wheels are easily removed and inserted. The school that my nephew attends does not allow wheeled shoes on campus, so it is great that he can pop out the wheels, insert the cover plate and not be in trouble.
I can't really tell you anything about the comfort, the reliability, or the usefulness of the shoe...but as far as making my present very well recieved....they fully obtained that requirement. 5 stars

The shoes are durrable and look really nice. My 6 year old doesn't want to wear anything else. 5 stars
