How hard is it for adults to learn to use wheelys shoes?

Kids seem to be able to use wheelys just fine, and they look like a lot of fun. I wonder how hard it would be for an adult to learn to use them?

How hard is it for adults to learn to use wheelys shoes?
A week if you're pretty clumsy. Otherwise if you familiar with wheeled transportation (roller skates or inline skates in particular) you'll start getting it right away.





Just a word of caution- they're pretty miserable on sidewalks that are busted up or have to many gaps or ridges and they're not good for walking long distances with your wheels in so you might want to practice on a smooth flat surface for the first couple of days.
Reply:I just bought a pair. im 31 years old. pretty easy to learn. and walking normally is really tough. i;d imagine it would be like wearing really slipper high heels. Report It

Reply:If that turns you on, go for it!! On top of that, I want to thank you for being one of the few great people that still want to do things that are deemed "for kids". I'm 27, a mom of three, and I just signed myself (and only myself) up for ice skating lessons! Let me know how the wheelys work out, they look fun!!
Reply:yeah the wheel is only on the back heal so i woujld work on ankle strength but if you can skate i'm sure you can learn how to do this!


they are neat!


looking!
Reply:shouldn't be too hard. i would guess that would depend on how good you can keep your balance.
Reply:I don't know, but I think you'd look pretty silly!

I think it would depend on the person and if you are a quick learner or not. Just like learning to ride a bike or ice skate. You'll fall down a few times, but sooner or later you'll get the hang of it!!
Reply:about as easy as a kid learning, unless you have back pains or somethin. it usually takes about 20-30min to learn for any age
