The shoes look nicer than pix shown here. Was still worried how it looks like before it arrive but was surprise it looks really cool. And it's really lighter than the traditional Heelys!!! The cushioning might not be as thick as the traditional Heelys, but its not flimsy, it has the support that is needed. With the wheels on, u still can walk like normal like any other shoes. The wheels are easy to insert, follow those video u saw on YouTube, just hammer it in like they did!!! Only problem I facing with these shoes is getting my 7 yrs old to roll without my help. But he shd overcome that in time. Actually got these for myself but my 7 yrs old feet is big as he is very tall so got him to try it out too. Will be ordering a more boyish design for him soon. These are really great shoes. Good quality all round. Don't think so much, just buy it!!!

Update: they are easier to walk then some other style heelys but not as nice to roll. Maybe coz they come with small wheels. But their brakes are better, the sole for these are more sticky.
