Heelies- which are the best ?

[missmapp]

Ds1 ( 10) wants heelies for Christmas. I have had a look online and the prices seem to vary quite a bit. is it worth spending the extra money? Any styles/brands which are better?

Also, if your dcs have them- are they worth it ? Do they get their moneys worth? He doesn't ask fo much, so will get them, but don't know whether to spend lots or get a cheaper pair.

Thank you

Both my dcs had branded Heelies at that age. They weren't cheap but they were really used a lot and they grew out of them much less quickly than normal shoes because I bought a decent size and they insisted on wearing them even when they were far too tight! Only thing I would say is do some closely supervised practising when he first gets them as ds wore them on an outing and had a really nasty tumble on his first day. Both were fine after that and they had loads of fun out of them. Having said all this I know others who have bought them and the child wasn't keen as couldn't get the hang of it.

Thanks MrsEricBana

did you get there usual size when ordering ?

Oh, and what is the difference between two wheels and one in each shoe? Looking on the website and not sure which is best.

Thanks again

My dc is 7 and has the 2 wheel heelys. I found the sizing to be close to clarks sizing. Have ordered a pair of 1 wheel heelys for older teen - because the size was so big I didnt have a choice as to whether I got one wheel or 2. Got the impression that the 2 wheel are easier so more suitable for younger kids.

Quality seems great. I went up by half a size so they would last longer.
