I am a 34 year old woman and I want some Heelys. I tired on my 11 yr DN's And loved them.

My DH thinks am daft and will look it.

So wibu to wear them? What would you think about an adult wearing them?

Depends - if you wear them to work and the shops I'd think you're mad.

If you wore them to the park to have a jolly good skate, I wouldn't bat an eyelid.

Out on the street I'd think "twat".

It annoys me when kids have them on.

Sorry the title should be Heelys not heels. Bloody autocorrect

Agree with your dh I'm afraid.

Agree with Salty -if you are going to use them in a skate park/play area then I wouldn't think anything of it. I hate seeing kids tottering around supermarkets with them on though.

I secretly want some too.

I'm 27 and I've got some. I don't wear them day to day, they were a novelty birthday gift last year. They are fun! I don't get in anyone's way and I don't care if people think I look like a twat.

I also would think 'looks a bit of a twat', but I also think that about adults on scooters (apparently I'm in the minority on that one, according to a thread on here).

Life is way too short to spend worrying about what others think. Get them! Preferably light up ones! Grin

I would love heelys. Sod what anyone else thinks. Why should kids have all the fun?
