Can You Skate in Street Flyers?

Streetflyers Roller Shoes


These skates with tiny hard plastic wheels that pop in and out are more of a novelty item or a toy than a real skate, but kids love them.

They are sometimes called sneaker skates or roller shoes and Streetflyers is the most well-known brand. They are not suitable for skating any kind of distance, although I have seen people wearing them on our local bike paths. I own a pair, and I enjoy skating in them occasionally just to show off. When you're wearing them you look like you are floating along in your athletic shoes, because the wheels are so tiny, no one can see them.

Most people find them difficult to skate in at first because the wheels are tiny and made of hard plastic, and because the wheel base is extremely short, making it easy to fall forward or backward until you get the hang of it. But with practice it IS possible to skate in Streetflyers. Sort of.
