Customer Reviews Heelys Vapor (Youth/Adult)

A-Mazing!!! I am a 21 year old man and I LOVE these shoes! I have high arches and these shoes feel just like every other shoe...less support than what I desire. This is why I rated the arches moderate. Otherwise the shoes felt true to size (medium width and size 11 length). When I am walking without the wheels installed the heel feels about the same height as a dress shoe. When the wheels installed it is very awkward to walk normally. The skating took a day or so to get used to but I refused to let 5 year old kids get the better of me! These shoes are A-Mazing!

My son received these shoes for Christmas and loves them. He said they are very comfortable and has been wearing them non-stop. The shoes are pretty heavy with the wheels in and my son says he feels like he has on high heels when walking with the wheels in. These shoes get a high rating from him because they were better that he was hoping for comfort wise.

What a Concept. Heelys for adults. Who'd have thunk it huh? Who would have thought a 45 year old man would buy a pair either? They're not at all like a regular shoe! The soles are really hard, and they aren't the most comfortable shoes to wear! But boy are they a blast!! Once I got the whole balance issue figured out, I became speed racer!! Much more fun than inline skates!!

My son loves them - My son loves these shoes. So far they seem good. He is 11 years old and takes the wheels in and out by himself before he gets to school. He has fallen a few times when loosing control - but he's a risk taker and the falls were soft.

Heelys - I had a hard time finding Heelys small enough for my nephew who desperately wanted a pair. He was so excited when he finally received them. The fact that I did not have to pay any s/h fees certainly scored high in my books. I will order from them again when my next young nephew has his birthday and also wants a pair of Heelys.

Review of Heelys "Vapor" I purchased these shoes for my son, for his 9th birthday. They are very nice looking, and he says they are comfortable; in fact, he wants to wear them most of the time, rather than his sandals, even though it summer! They look to be very well made, & fit him fine. He is wearing a size 2 in regular shoes, & the description states to get Heelys in a size larger, so I ordered a size 3. They fit him fine. The wheels stay in until you are ready to take them out; don't just fall out or anything. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase, & my son is as well.

Jacob's Sweet Review - These shoes are good. I like them, but we bought them a little too big. Sometimes them being too big makes it a little harder to wear/use them. I wear a size 13 or 13.5 in kid’s shoes and we ordered a size 2 to make sure we went big enough. Well, these shoes are about 1.5 sizes too big. I will wear thru them before I outgrow them. We would recommend being a little conservative on the size if your feet don't grow at lightning fast speeds. Very comfortable, and easy to learn how to glide. These shoes do tire your feet out if you are using them more for walking with the wheels in than if you put the plugs in for walking. Overall, Great shoe, would buy again.

Only problem I have - Shoes are great kids love them. I just think they need to make a removable heel to replace the one dragged around all the time. Owned them for a month an the heel is wore out

Happy Kid says it all! Appearance is very stylish and attractive...coming from the Mom. From the kid, loves them, having a blast skating in them and wearing them as shoes. The only concern he had was even after clicking the wheel in his left shoe carefully checking, it has popped out a few times. He thought a stone from the sidewalk got in there and forced it out--we retraced his steps and found the wheel (after many tears)...The right side has not come out at all once it is set in their properly...so who knows what causes it.

Heelys's Vapor - My son has had them for a week and a rubber piece in the wheel has already fallen out. He complains that now when he uses them it feels like he is on gravel.

Heelys's Vapor - Could be made more durable. The material is already tearing on the front, left toe.

Very uncomfortable, not that great of a buy, I did like the wheels in the heels though, I had to change the soles and put in arch supports.

As uncomfortable as wearing high heeled shoes - When not rolling, and having to walk in them, Heelys are painful! it's like walking with heels, except your walking on a wheel. I got strains in my calves for the next 3 whole days.

Hopefully a passing fad - I bought these for my son's birthday because "everyone has them". They are expensive and, as I have always thought, are neither a good sneaker nor a good skate. They are a funny looking shoe being very wide and clunky looking - he looks like a Rescue Heroes character wearing them. Zappos, however, had a good selection of them and did their usual great job at delivering them in a timely manner.

AWESOME HEELYS VAPOR - These shoes are awesome my son loves them; I can't hardly get them off of him. Also I love Zappos they are awesome I ordered these shoes at 10:30 p.m. Tuesday night & received them Wednesday by 11:00 a.m. Thanks so much I never expected them so quick Thanks so much again!!!!!

Heelys review - I purchased 3 pair of Heelys vapor for my grandsons. I only knew they wanted the Heelys. The description was not as clear as I would like. I actually wanted the Heelys that you didn't have to take the roller out of. But the description wasn't clear enough.
