They are Land Rollers. www.landroller.com/





Very eye catching. Not very good for skating. No serious skater will use them.





If he is letting the dogs pull him, the large wheels might have a slight advantage.

I%26#039;m sorry to tell you but it%26#039;s probably the skates. Most of the lower cost skates have cheap bearings in the wheels and so they are slower and stiffer no matter what. you can but new bearings at the skating rings if they are blades or even speed wheels may help. Are they in-line or no? Well good luck.
Reply:Dont Loosen The Wheels That Could Strip The BEarings Just Go To Your Local Surf/Skate Shop Get A PAir Of ABEC 9s and get some shortys speed cream Trust me this should work on blades just like it does on skateboards

I need roller blades, but I wear a Size 15 shoe...?

I can%26#039;t find a web site that sells skates my size, do you know of any?

I need roller blades, but I wear a Size 15 shoe...?
depends on the maker of the skates is what size you need. if you are just buying skates at say walmart or a local sporting store then basic shoe size is how they are normally measured.





if you want real inline skates, then look into names like luigino, powerslide, bont, etc. here is the sizing chart for two of them but remember....top of the line inlines are each measured by each manufacturers specs. http://www.powerslideusa.com/luigino/siz...





I myself have the Powerslide C4%26#039;s (http://www.powerslideusa.com/C4_tech_spe... ) and absolutly love them. On indoor track have been clocked at 28mph and I know from others they can handle up to 85mph outdoors.





also know that normal ones bought at like walmart will not be fast, not be comfortable, not be form fitting to your feet and ankles, will have low grade wheels, bearings and spacers. like anything else...you get what you pay for.

What does ABEC means related to Roller Blades? Any recommendation when buying Roller Blades?

ABEC is just the type of bearing. It means nothing. Its the number that follows it that is important. the higher the number, the better. Try and get ABEC 7s...other than skateboard named bearings, they are the fastest around.

Do your children have roller blades, roller sneakers, and/or Heeley's?

Have they ever been seriously injured as a result?








Our children, ages 8 and 12 have been gripeing for these, and I recently purchased them for Christmas, having second thoughs due to safety reasons.What%26#039;s your take on it? Are they old enough?

Do your children have roller blades, roller sneakers, and/or Heeley%26#039;s?
I have three kids, 13-8-5


all have some sort of wheeled shoe contraption. Never seriously injured, but do be carefull. They all started with helmets and pads.


They recieved more injury from me yelling at them about not using the heelies in the house!





here are some injury prevention links and info.

Reply:My kids have had them, 13 and 9. They%26#039;re perfectly safe, just wear a helmet, and elbow pads and knee pads if you want to avoid those scrapes. Honestly, you can%26#039;t possibly be seriously injured from something like this, unless you jumped off a cliff with them.
Reply:I ABSOLUTELY hate these products - they are so unsafe not to mention annoying to other people. If they were used properly - outside instead of in the middle of a store or mall. I cannot tell you how many times I have almost been ran over by a kid wearing them, or seen a kid fall on his butt or head while using them. And if parents required the child to wear helmets when using them no matter what then they would be much safer. (oh, but that would not be cool, huh?)


Every time I see a kid using them I imagine that kid falling, cracking his/her head and then suing the company of the store they were in or the shoe company because the parents were stupid - and winning!!!


My kids are grown, but I know for sure if these were available when they were young, there is no way in hell that I would take that risk with their life and let them have them. My kids are WAY to important to me to let them have their way when I know it is unsafe.
Reply:Don%26#039;t give them a helmet

When purchasing roller blades, should they be ordered in the same size as normal shoes?

yes. same size. it%26#039;s best to try them on, but my Rollerblades are the same shoe size as i normally wear. it just depends on if you are going to wear thick socks for cushion, or thin socks. I%26#039;d be consistent with the thickness, if i were you. good luck! have fun!
