Application

Roller sneakers, that is what wheels on shoes are called, are a unique invention that captivated not only little speed lovers, but also their parents. The creator of such a brilliant idea was the Heelys trademark. In 2000, it was this company that developed and patented an innovation - roller shoes. Every year, the brand releases new models of sneakers and sneakers of various colors, in which shoes turn into something cosmic in the eyes of a child and extreme sports enthusiasts. At any time, the wheels are conveniently removed from the recess, and a plug is placed in the hole, thereby turning roller sneakers into ordinary shoes.

Pros and cons

The most basic advantage of roller shoes is the development of the child's coordination, muscle strengthening and active pastime.

The disadvantages of boots on wheels include considerable weight, due to the wheels on bearings.Skating in such shoes requires only good coverage, otherwise, on a bad road, such shoes fail very quickly. Falls and injuries are inevitable, especially during training.

From what age can you wear

To date, there are already competitions in agility and skill in roller skating called stepriding, not only among adults, but also among children. Parents are happy to buy roller boots for their kids, and children, in turn, get great joy from skating in them. There is no separate age limit, as such, the manufacturer offers the buyer sizes from 3 years.

But the ideal and more suitable age is considered to be a threshold of 7-10 years, since it is at this age that the child is strong enough and physically developed, coordination of his movements is established, there is a clear reaction to surrounding stimuli, which avoids injury. For kids who don't know how to ride yet, you can get entry-level shoes with wheels on the heel that are more stable and that every child dreams of having.

How to choose

The roller shoes themselves are designed in several versions:

  • for children up to nine years old - from a more wear-resistant material;
  • models with one wheel, which can also serve as ordinary boots;
  • for extreme and freestyle lovers, boots called gryndy.

For beginners, roller skates with laces and two wheels are best suited. The leg is securely fixed in them, and it is much easier to ride in such models.When choosing shoes, you should not refer to the size grid, it is better to measure the length of the child’s foot and correlate the resulting figure with the length of the insole of the shoes you buy, and it’s better to take the option a little more if the purchase is made for the baby, since the leg grows very quickly.
