HEELYS The latest craze from the USA now in at Adventure Cycles St Martins Guernsey
 

BEWARE OF IMITATIONS

We do understand Heelys are not cheap, but we have had two problems with other cheaper brands with some children at our classes. The first was the style which locks down with a button, this is not that stong and eventually the wheel will not lock in position and you cannot Heely, the other was a copy of the Heelys and the plastic securing the wheel in broke quite easily, and again the child was quite upset as they could not Heely. If we do find a cheaper good alternative, we will try them.  But for now we only recommend original HEELY brand.

HELLYS ON RAMPS

   HOW TO HEELY       HEELY TRICKS 

Heelys, what are they?
Heelys are shoes that roll, letting you roll across flat ground. Heelys look just like any other shoe or trainer, but with a difference, they have a stealth removable wheel underneath, housed in the back of the shoe sole. You'll get heads turning to look at you all the time.

 

Heelys are the latest must-have item for Kids, Teens and for many adults too ! You can now get them from our shop in St Martins Guernsey. Children aged from about 7 upwards can easily learn this Latest Craze to emerge from the USA on rolling shoes. The learning curve is very quick especially for younger children. If you have already used roller skates, inline skates or even ice skates before, you'll learn this even quicker ! Anytime you want to just walk, you can remove the wheels and they become a normal trendy looking trainer shoe. Pop the wheels in again and you're rolling or Heeling/heelying.

We have seen a slightly cheaper model with two wheels but have been told by users that these are harder to get used to and not as good

The colours and models will be Bliss 2 white and pink kids sizes 12 to 7

Bliss 2 Black and Pink sizes 12 to  7

Atomic Black and light Grey sizes Kids 12 to Adult  11

They're trainers that leave adults slack-jawed as children shoot past on the pavement.  Heelys - shoes with built-in wheels - were a summer holiday hit and look set to be a Christmas must-have.

Across the shiny floors of shopping centres or the flat tarmac of playgrounds, children nonchalantly whiz along at speed.

One foot in front of the other, they go gliding past without the merest hint of a flexing muscle; their shoes seemingly lifted off the ground on a wafer-thin cushion of air.

Observing adults invariably are left rubbing their eyes in bemusement.  Roller skates are one thing, but how can one slide so effortlessly on an ordinary pair of trainers?

Sneaky: the wheels are almost hidden

Heelys, shoes with small wheels in the heel, were the hit toy of the summer holidays. The very idea might sound precarious, but when did the thought of a grazed knee deter a thrill-seeking child?

Any adult slipping on a pair of these shoes can't help but be guarded.

The technique and balance take a while to master.

For starters, try sliding a foot into a Heely, and it suddenly darts out across the floor.

Stand up, and there is a bit of a wobble. While the shoes are fairly heavy and broad, aiding balance, there's no avoiding the two wheels sticking out of either heel. I gingerly attempt a few steps and slowly it becomes apparent my feet are not about to fly out from underneath me. Even stairs become navigable.

Practised "heelers" such as Rebeca Henehan, say it's then just a short learning curve to gliding along at 10mph, letting the wheels do the work.

See Rebecca heel

However, preferring to keep my ankles out of plaster cast, I'm willing just to take 11-year-old Rebecca's word for this. She says the attraction to Heelys comes in their speed, freedom and the shock value to passers-by.

"Shops with shiny floors and the airport are amazing," she says. "It feels like you are ice-skating in a big rink, you can go on one wheel, or backwards.

"I like them because lots of people stare at me or ask what's in the bottom, some think I'm floating. They take off their glasses as if they think they're seeing things.

How does she do it? Each shoe has one, or a pair of wheels in the back. Lift the toes and the wheels engage to slide. To stop, the heeler drags the back of the heel down, like a stopper on a roller-skate, or at higher speed, runs forward out of the slide.

Heeling may take the fearlessness of the young, or the recklessness of the old to master, but the appeal of being able to wheel at a moment's notice may bring out the child in all of us.

HOW TO HEEL 1. Heelys have one wheel in the heel, or two for beginners 2. To start: lift toes to tilt foot back and engage the wheels Kick off, and put one foot behind the other to glide about 3. Balance and technique can take a while to perfect 4. To stop: drag the heel down or run forward out of the slide
