flying wheel shoes like heelys - only £30

nursery and toys have got the shoes with wheels on the bottom for £30. i bought a pair for my 8 year old after searching everywhere for heelys. they're wrapped up now but look great, i think its one of the crazes this year.

they're available in pink, blue or silver sizes 12 to 5.

    look like unlicensed rip-offs. Are they safe?

    Do you know how heavy they are...My daughter had some of these 3 or 4 years ago very similar and they were really heavy and the wheels ended getting stuck inside the shoe

    I checked with the company before ordering and they make it clear these are not Heelys and have not had any problems so far.

    In fact the mechanism with the wheel is actually better than heelys as it has a button to flip the wheel in and out

    I'd recommend them... hence the post!! :T

  • I have brought the cheap ones and beware they only lasted 2 months before the eyes for the laces all tore and the fronts wore off. Have now brought heelys in this case you are buying quality.
