Heelychat, the forum for heelys, the shoes with wheels - View topic

I just bought some Heely's for work, Black Atomics. (The Idea for using them for work, I must say, came from 'employee of the month') I run a youth center, and I am constantly running around my room, back and forth.
My question is, are these good shoes for short, quick zips around a room with quick stops? How good are these shoes, what are their potential?
Thanks for any help.

yeah theyre pretty good for that, if u know how to stop pretty good ifur going fast, theyre ment for being able to have a wheel in your shoe without anyone else knowing u have it in unless ur rolling i think hteyd be good

Oh yeah, they can be really useful for work. I used to use them for my paper route, they were perfect. I couldn't use things like rollerblades because I had to go inside some buildings and climb stairs etc etc. But heelys were perfect. Now, I use them at the store I work at. They are a great help when I am stocking coolers, lots of runnning back and forth involved.

So yeah, go ahead and give them a try, just be sure you are decently skilled first so you don't hurt somebody.

i wear some of the white/black/red atomics to work depending on who is manager that day lol. The atomics are nice but they leave some to be desired it terms of comfort.

Cool, I just want to be able to zip around the room without tuckering my self out. I work with kids, mediating, (or diciplining) and i am consantly running back and forth across the room. I just wanted functional skates that looked classy, and would let me transition from walking to heeling well.

Great choice, and welcome to heelychat. I have atomics and i thought that they where very stealthy and good looking. I hope you enjoy them

yeah the atomics are the best for their stealth and style. although theres not as much padding as the other models they are a great pair. What i dont like about having small stopd on the way to another place is that you stop a bit farther then where you want so you have to stop early.

Welcome to heelychat by the way

Thanks for the help and the warm welcome, guys. Its been very helpful. through this forum I re-discovered and found a love for heeling again, I am so lucky to have found some size 13 atomics, too. as shopping for huge sizes can crush the sport for some, im told.

Glad to hear we were able to help you. Laughing

and yah, those lack of large sizes can reall discourage some people from getting them.

Slip? I just called up Finish Line. They say there are no size 13 Atomics in Men's, and that the size 13 are Children's. Also, the sizes go from 1-8 and then 13, which would logically put the 13 behind the 1. What's going on?

Slicer,
You had me worried there! I just called finish line and they confirmed, the shoes are size 13's, plus, mine just came today, and the are mens 13's.
perhaps your customer service rep was confused?

I actually am a independent contractor for heelys. I spoke to a heelys rep, and he said size 13 atomics were never made. Sorry but you must be confused

You wouldn't happen to have a digital camera would you Slippery? Pull the tongue out and let's see that. Because it'd be really weird if you got something that everyone else believes doesn't exist..
