Heely's!!!!

We were given the opportunity to review a pair of Heely's!  You know the shoes with the wheels in the bottom?  Well, after looking at them, I realized that being pregnant and not having good balance, I probably wasn't the best to review them... So then I looked for Jacob's size... :( Very sad to find they didn't offer little kid sizes...  So then it fell to the husband!  Oh he wasn't thrilled at first, kinda one of those, "What did you rope me into this time?" moments!  But I got him to finally pick a pair.  He ordered the Double Threat, something that looks not too crazy for a dad over 30, they are gray with orange and black trim.  There were some great styles to choose from, some more crazy than others, but the company also knew how to have some toned down styles as well!
(Definatly the pair I would have chosen!)

Well they arrived right in the middle of our garage sale, and of course the husband had to put them on right away!!!  He loved them!  Our 4 year old son was a little jealous that Dad had a really cool pair of shoes and he didn't...  They seem very sturdy and I loved that you can pull out the wheels and just wear regular shoes (perfect for school, or other places where wheels are not really that appropriate!).   


(Pair hubby ordered!!!)

I think that the hubby would have worn them a lot more, he thought they great for working with the kids at church and playing with Jacob (hopefully they will get little kid sizes soon!!) however they didn't work well with a previous knee injury and brought back a little pain to the knee.

The Heely's website also has some great videos on learning how to wheel around and even do some great tricks with your shoes! 

I think that the Heely's are a great product, and maybe once Jacob gets up to the right size, we will probably be getting him a pair to ride around on!  And hopefully the hubby's knee will get a little stronger and he can wear his again!

I was given a free pair of Heely's in return for my honest opinion from Buisness2Blogger.  I have given my honest opinion and that is all! :)
