| So I went to the mall the other day... actually, two malls, because the first one is more like an over glorified Wal-Mart... And basically went to EVERY shoe store looking for either new fat wheels for my Rails or picking up a new pair of Atomics or Furys. As I was walking through, there was not a single store that sold passed a size 8 (though they had size 10 fury's on display, the guy said they only had a pair for display purposes only) for any style, not even the Rails. So after my feeble attempts to walk around and find a new pair for hours on end in the over crowded shops of Colorado Springs, I decided to pass on the attempt and try to find wheels; in which not a single store had them. I'm like... double you tee eff... Basically though, I went to the "SKATE SHOES!" kiosk in the mall, and just for giggles to see if they had my size... Not even them (don't fret, I wasn't going to buy them if they did have my size, because I don't think sounding like a squeaky train with these two HUGE black things exposing themselves out of my heels). Are they starting to phase out more adult size Heelys, or are they still pretty plentiful in the areas that more adult people would buy them (on the coastal regions to be more specific). I know I can order online, which is probably going to be my best bet to get some new 9152's or 9151's again, but the instant gratification of buying a pair and leaving the shops with them is a pretty amazing feeling. Anyways, thanks for listening to me vent, still kinda frusterated... Keep it easy guys |

Well.....I saw a few size 9's in a couple styles at DSG, so I got one. Idk if there's a DSG where you are. But yeah, your best bet would be online. Especially for wheels. Nobody carries proper sized wheels in the actual store  |

Well....
That's why we're trying to get HSL to make shoes for the heelers that need them |

Heelys is learning the hard way that adults are buying these things en masse for Christmas. Good luck finding anything at this late date.
It's not that "they didn't make any", it's just that they didn't make enough.
Online you can get large FATS fairly easily, though, even in a few of the new collectible styles. |

Large wheels....they dont exist in person. You have to go online.
As for the actual shoes, Journey's and Finish Line have them here. No one else does. |

Yeah, the guys there know me, but unfortunately they have the torches to a size 7 and the rails up to a size 10. As for finish line, thats where I saw the furys which I fell in LOVE with, and they were the people who had the size 10 for display purposes. I'm still going to scour the internets, but for the most part its been a no win situation. Hopefully they'll bring some new models for the spring time -crosses fingers- |
