It's an OK shoe - My son has been asking for these since he was 4 years old, so for his 6th birthday we finally gave in. I was reluctant to spend the money on a shoe that he couldn't wear to school. There is a learning curve to wear these shoes, though my son seemed to figure them out within a couple of days. He loves them. From a Mom's perspective, I'm not crazy about the look of them and we've had a lot of loose threads pop up around the toe box. I think if he wore them as an everyday shoe, my son would have had them torn up by now (2-3 weeks after purchase), but because he only wears them to skate, they are holding up. Our gym does allow them in the kid’s area, so he gets lots of indoor skate time that way. They do run small. The first pair we ordered in his shoe size were way too small, so we had to reorder. My younger son cabbaged onto the small pair, so we actually just kept both pairs. Shipping time is AMAZING. We actually received them within 24 hours of placing our order with no extra cost!

Coming apart at the seam - We bought a pair of the Rebel and Streaks for my two nephews. At first the Rebel shoes looked great, but within about the first week the front seam started to unravel. They are not falling apart, but we are afraid to cut the string for fear of further deterioration. My nephew still wears them, but I would recommend getting the Streaks instead. The Streaks are used just as often, but still look good and are holding up well. If you have young kids I recommend the Heelys, my nephews love them. They roll all over the place.

I love my Rebels, I wear them almost everywhere. They are easy to use and my feet don’t get tired because I don’t have to put my feet up. My sister has the Bliss and she does. I like the look, but I sometimes only use one wheel because I slide with the 2 wheels sometimes if I’m not careful. I don’t like that it didn't have plugs and a tool like my old pairs and my sister’s pair. I ordered one size up which was good. Zappos service is really good, I recommend it.

He loves them - I bought a full size larger due to other reviews and recommendations, and I am glad I did. My son absolutely loves them. He has them on from the time he gets out of bed until he has to go back to bed. He had mastered the wheels within a week. This was what he wanted for his birthday and I think it has to be the most loved present I have ever given him. He did get a few scrapes and bumps the first couple of days.

Heelys - My neighbor told me about your web site. I love the free overnight shipping. The price was reasonable. I bought this pair for my son. I bought another type of Heelys for my daughter. They both love the shoes. I did agree with others that these shoes are about a size smaller than other shoes. Thanks for the great service and quality items.

Fast Delivery- I was very pleased on how quickly my sons Heelys came in. Also another great thing was that I was able to find a pair of Heelys for my five year old son. He has been asking for them since before Christmas and was unable to find his size. Zappos was the only place that carried it. Great job!!!

Heelys Rebel Youth - I ordered these for my grandson's birthday, and was really satisfied with the overall appearance, comfort, and fit. I ordered one size larger than his shoe size because of the other reviews that had been posted, and they were a perfect fit. My only complaint is that there was no tool included for removing the wheels.

Great shoes - My son loves these shoes. He's 6 1/2 and wears them all the time. The only problem I have with this style is that the wheels don't pop out and no cover. So he can't wear these to school. I prefer the kind that pops out so they can be worn as normal tennis shoes when needed.

Yippie - My son loves those shoes. He wears them every chance he gets. I was amazed at how fast the shoes were shipped out and made it to my home. Keep up the good work. I will definitely order from Zappos again. PS: I will tell all my friends about Zappos with customer satisfaction guaranteed!!!

Loved them! I can't really say much for the fit because I don't wear them; they were for my ten year old son. They must be something special because I can't get him to take them off! He wears them everywhere and really loves them. The price was better than at the store. Thank you!

No Tool included - This shoe didn't come with the little tool that lets you take out the wheels easily. My other son's Heely's did so fortunately we can use his tool. Also, I think the shoe with 2 wheels in each shoe is harder to use than the ones with just one wheel in each heel.
