They seem like a pretty easy way to get around, I've never used them myself but I've always wanted to. I don't even think they sell normal adult sizes.

You get like 1.5 seconds of rolling per weird little "run on the balls of your feet" sprint you do though, doesn't seem any better than just walking and then running if you want to go faster.

Just wear rollerblades at all times if you want to be a very cool adult

I've said this before on here but I totally came up with the exact idea for these when I was like 10, 20 years before they came out and when I described them to my mom she said it was a bad idea and would never work. Totally shot me down immediately. She claims not to remember this

Heelys are for children. Sophisticated adults wear Soap Shoes.

They make adult sized Heelys, so just buy a pair and have fun OP! Sure people may stare and even point and laugh, but you can just give them the finger as you glide away.

I'm the kid at the skate park insisting that Heelys are the same as roller skates and getting laughed at by everyone, regardless of whether they agree or disagree with me.

I knew a kid in college who wore them. They suck to get around, slower than loving a quick walk and the wear out quick and they mark you with a giant redflag socially.

Freshman year in college my roomate wore a pair all the time. I don't think he had tiny little feet so they must have made them in adult sizes. He looked really stupid using them. So I assume they didn't catch on for the same reason segways never really caught on.

Had a buddy who bought a good pair in college and he enjoyed the heel out of em. He is a barfly and so people would tell him he looked dorky but they were jelly. gently caress people saying you can't have fun. So you'll look stupid, at least you're enjoying yourself. That said, they're hard to actually get good at and a pebble that a skateboard can run over will insta trip you.

I took this 20 year old Swiss girl around Bangkok one day because she wanted to find Heelys and then made out with her for an hour back in her hostel but she wouldn't let me pork her because she said she was still in love with her boyfriend in Switzerland and that she was probably going to cheat on him on her vacation but not yet is why OP.
