Review: Buzz Skates - the Adult Heelys


About a dozen years ago, I first started seeing kids skating through malls on their shoes.

I was incredibly envious. They looked so cool and fun. Surely they sold them in adult sizes? Nope!

Not even the rip-off versions went up to my size. Bah!

I'd almost given up hope. But then, a few weeks ago, we were walking through Harrods' Toy Department0 when I spotted a grown man skating along the aisles. He whizzed up to a stand and started his patter. I didn't even let him finish. I snapped up a pair straight away. Without even going online to find them cheaper!

A garish box with some wheels protruding.

These are the Buzz Thunder Skates. Only £30 a pair - and the quickest way I know to break a major bone.

They are, obviously, not Heelys. They're adaptors which fit over your regular shoes. Even better than that, they light up as you go!
