    its worth noting that the cheap ones sold on ebay are almost certainly not Heelies but a cheeper version.
    we bought a pair of genuine heelies in the states a few weeks ago for $63 inc tax (about £37). lots of places are selling the cheaper ones for about $25 but if you compare the two you will find that the heelies are much better made.

    Two girls in my daughters class are both in plaster in the moment due to "Heelies"
    No Matter what you do there will be critics.

    How old should you be for these?
  • I saw some "heel wheelies" or similar -attachable wheels on a chassis type fitting which attach to heels of trainers. Don't know how good they are, but 2 pairs for £10 from The Works :j
    Wheels also have flashing lights when they spin!

    May be worth a look

    my son was seven when he got his and we've had no problems, unlike a number of his school pals.

    IMO, the reason for this is that we got the type with two wheels in each shoe and these make it a much easier task to glide about on.

    definitely good fun, the Heely brand are really good quality and IMO worth the extra expense (remember to buy them a size bigger than normal).
