Now as an adult you can’t afford using them because you will hurt yourself, badly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
1 yearI’m guessing the black parts slide like wax? For ‘grinding’ without a board?

That’s the gimmick, saw them around the 90s skater culture and a bit after as I recall.
Goes to show how well my memory works, I genuinely thought it was supposed to still be a thing in 1 but the official deal fell through until 2.

Allow me to introduce you to the best documentary you will ever watch, Soap or Die. self-funded by the world’s last surviving 90s Guy and soap shoe fanatic. 20 minutes of pure joy.

Every once in a while, as an out of shape guy in my 30s, I think about buying myself a pair of heelys.
Was never a skater, never really had much interest in them as a kid, but something about the idea of rolling around in Costco while I do my grocery shopping appeals to me.
I still want a combo shoe of soap shoes + heelies. I think someone makes a kit to make your own heelies.

Vote now.
There used to be a company that sold grind plates you could add to your shoes but it looks like their website is defunct.
Combine these with heelies and parkour for maximum urban mobility.

As an orthopedic surgeon who wants a bigger yacht, I think this is a great idea
I only know about them because Sonic Adventure 2. And even then, I didnt know they were a thing till years later. Ive never seen them or heard of them in real life, though.

I’m the kid who got these and heely’s banned at my school. Was quite the trend setter in elementary.
Oh yes, I remember reading an article about them. They caused many severe injuries and I mean really many.
The only reason I know they exist is because Sonic Adventures 2 trivia videos. That, and I’ve seen them while playing SA2, but those are very hazy memories from when I was maybe 5-6 years old.

Immediately thought of Sonic Adventure 2 lol I’ve never met anyone who actually owned a pair (I don’t think they ever made it to Europe but I might be wrong)
