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

Everyone say oooohhhhhh and aaaahhhh and eeeewwwwww......

ohhhhh ahhhhh i like the grind this....too bad there Fats the switch are cool too

the switch look and feel like skateboarding shoes but they're not comfortable. Anyways i dont think the GT's are bad they look cool. I like how on the tongue it says Grind This in graffiti instead of the trademarked heelys H.....

The good:

Size 12c. Finally. Big slap in the face to Crappies and going to make a lot of very merry Christmases.

GT plates are very nice. Flat and straight, excellent for rails.

Almost everything listed on the site actually looks like something people would want to buy.

Not one of the officially announced new releases, but the best new release so far: Toxic Torches.

The bad:

Can someone please explain just what exactly is wrong with the Switch? H2 describes it as stabbing the heel. Do they just not have a layer of protection over the wheel well or what?

Girls with ABEC 5, boys with ABEC 7. C'mon people, if you really want to be sexist, you ought to give the girls unshielded ABEC 9's, because as we all know, they never get their shoes dirty.. right?

The nonexistent:

Size 13, 14, 15. Seriously, it's like nobody at Heelys gives a fuck about the bigger men's market, despite the fact that rich guys who wear size 13 are slaying each other on Ebay to the tune of 81 dollars + $25 shipping for ancient Shredders.

No new Megas with plates models this season. C'mon guys. There's only one plates/Megas model still being made, and that's the Torch.

Apparently, girls' models with plates can only be purchased aboard the Flying Dutchman.

The WTF:

Gelatos.

for the first time i like the "lighter" color option on a grindplate shoe better than the dark one. but the red greey grind this is prettey sweet. i dont like any heelys with a black/grey combo. dont know why....iv'e seen these models like a month ago or even earlier but i just got my red/white/black atomics yesterday Very Happy

i might buy some grind-this or switches whem im in the states.
i love the red switch's design. they are very close to the venture but i have those to Very Happy

and they are great. it would be a shame if the sweetest looking heelys for this year were uncomfortable.....
well all we can do is wait and see Very Happy

i think instead of just making grindplate heelys with fats, they should improve the mega wheel! all they have to do is make a plastic center piece not metal and also make the rubber as hard as with the fats!

and what i also like is that they finally changed the sole so i hopefully wont wear off so quickly cuz of the bigger profile....
well that's my opinion Very Happy
