i'm having a difficult time finding heelys in a size 11 (USA).
i've looked for hours through various online vendors.
from reading and searching for posts i see that Torch and Evolution are "the best".
is this just mainly due to the construction/features?
bearings, grindplate, etc.
have i just missed the adult versions due to long term sales seeing a market for only kids sizes?
i found a pair of 11 torches on an Australian site, but the price was just ridiculous. (nearly $200)
what pair should i settle for if i happen to find a pair in 11's?
comfort, quality, and speed are the major factors.
i know some of you guys and gals have gone thru several pairs...any feedback is appreciated. |

yeah, i saw that before and i should have linked that specific site.
slipped my mind.
unfortunately, i don't know if they are toddler/infant size 11's.
chances are good that they are the smaller 11.
i ordered them anyway, but luck was never on my side when ordering shoes online.
i'd just like to consider my other options for now. |

| Adult heelys (any style) are definately hard to find locally (I guess depending where you are). I think I snagged the last pair of size 11 escapes from shoes.com. That was before I saw that link for torches. Which kinda sucks but not having a grind plate is a good deterant to trying something WAY outside my ability. |
