So does anyone have a Heelys shoe that the Wheel Bay pops out (like into the shoe)?
I have my GT's in which they do that. The pressure of my foot keeps it in place, but when someone tries my shoes with small feet, the wheel will jus pop right up.
I didn't know if I had a retarded shoe, or if someone else has that issue as well |

The wheel bay isn't supposed to go anywhere.
I'd say your shoes are dangerously screwed up. |

Have that one my black atomics.
Just dont let anyone else use them.
Other cases with screwed up wheel bays are where one had a c-clip stuck in it (clutches), and the wheel bays are cracked (torch 9117). Other then that, nothing more then the many scratches on the inside part. |

I have a cracked wheel bay on my Rails... Its a hairline, but w/e
I think its just because the soles have gotten thinner and thinner... IDK...

Thanks Slice... 'preciate it... Are you gonna make fun of my dog now too? Lol, jk
But naw, I can still ride in them... Its typically when I let my one friend try them before actually getting some, he has really small feet, so when he was walking in them, his body pressure against the shoe with nothing backing the wheel caused it to pop up. Its good when I ride in them cause I push it down.
When it does pop up, its only about 1/4th of an inch, so it just causes the wheel to scrape against the sole of the shoe =( |

Do what I do and grab the Quick Grip... 
(Quick Grip actually worked for my hosed Torches because it has a strong elastic component; it's not as strong, per se, as the original rubber, but because it's stretchy it should survive. At least for a while.) |
