Heelys Gamer Shoes

[bluto183]

Should I buy my kids the new Heelys Gamer shoes this Christmas? I know most people on this site are talking about shoes for us adults, but I figured if some of you have kids, you could shed some light on this for me. I want to get them something cool (they're 7 and 9, so I'm guessing we have different visions of cool), but supposedly what dad finds cool is actually lame. Help! Google the shoes is you don't know what I mean, there's plenty of pics of them floating around out there.

I agree that Heelys are cool. However, I'd also look around if I were you at some of the articles about the dangers involved. I know there's been a bit of a backlash recently against Heelys.

I know that sort of thing concerns some people more than others, though, so if you don't mind the potential dangers, and if you think your kids would have fun with them, then go for it.

Well, the way I look at it, using Heelys is like using a bike, skateboard or rollerblades. It has wheels, and you have the potential to fall. The only way my kids are getting them is if they wear the safety gear along with them!
