HEELYS – Review + Giveaway

These are some really cool shoes!  Kids absolutely love them.  Go skating with your tennis shoes on and have a ball.

Heelys, Inc. designs, markets and distributes innovative, action sports-inspired products under the HEELYS(R) brand targeted to the youth market. The Company’s primary product, HEELYS-wheeled footwear, is patented dual purpose footwear that incorporates a stealth, removable wheel in the heel. HEELYS-wheeled footwear allows the user to seamlessly transition from walking or running to skating by shifting weight to the heel. Users can transform HEELYS-wheeled footwear into street footwear by removing the wheel. HEELYS-wheeled footwear provides users with a unique combination of fun and style that differentiates it from other footwear and wheeled sports products.

On the HEELYS website there is a part that teaches your child how to skate.  The steps are simple and in no time your child will have the skills to become a master at skating.  Have fun and actually be able to get out the house which I don’t know about you all, but that’s exactly what I want.  Go out and exercise and have a blast.
I do however hate seeing kids ride around in stores with HEELYS because at times they run into you and just aren’t careful.  But at home, or at a park it’s a different story. Not to mention if I let my kids do that in a store my mom would have my butt lol.

I was sent two pairs of HEELYS for my older 2 children.  My oldest daughter received;

And it’s great that they come in her size.  9 1/2 women, and she’s 12!

Then my son received these really awesome shoes;

He’s been wanting a pair of ‘Converse’ like shoes so these are absolutely perfect for him.  Plus he will absolutely love to practice riding around.  But I do suggest kids using a helmet, especially just starting out.  Possibly knee, wrist and elbow pads as well lol.

The HEELYS shoes are made awesome and built to with-stand wear and tear.
It will take a little time and practice for someone who never tried HEELYS before to get the skating down, but with time they will be a pro in no time!

I love the awesome styles that HEELYS come in.  They have a huge variety of styles of shoes and they are sure to please any child.  I also love that the ‘wheels’ come out and they can be worn as regular tennis shoes too.

HEELYS also has a new line coming out December 1st.  These look awesome and I managed to snag a picture from their website as a sneak peak!

Learn to skate 2x faster, and 2x easier with the double wheel HEELYS.

They will have awesome styles to chose from!
Again, these come out 12/1/09!  JUST in time for that special child on your Christmas list!

HEELYS is offering one Barefoot Mommies reader a chance to win a pair of HEELYS of their very own.
The winner will simply tell me the sex of the child and size and HEELYS will pick one of their most popular styles and get it to you by Christmas for gift giving!
