The pegs have put some scratches on the soles of my shoes, but haven't done any serious damage. I like to stand on the pedals a lot when I ride, so you should be fine

We don't have them for our 3 daughters that all have this skate or a competing brand. They are 3, 6, & 8. With that said we also only use them at the Rollar Skating rink. If our girls where to use them outside we probably would get them. Hope this helps.

I bought one for my 10 year old. I am about your size, and don't think I would trust it. With the length of the board, it has a lot of flex to the board when I start to step on it. Note that my tendancy is to fall off the things, so I don't know how long it would actually hold up.

It depends on kind of skating the skater wants to do. The wheels are fairly hard, so longer gliding rides aren't as possible as with the cruiser style wheels. If you want to do tricks, then the wheels should fine. I bought this as a first skateboard for my daughter to learn on. I then got a cruiser for my son. The difference in the ride-ability was noticeable.

Yes. For sure. My 7-year-old and 5-year-old ride them perfectly (they're both over four ft tall, though). Unless he's small for his age, it'll probably be too small.

Hi, KKEEET. I bought these skates as a gift for a grandson. Have not given them to him yet, but I bought one or two sizes too large, purchasing heavy socks to take up the extra room. They are a bargain and very well made. Happy trails.

yes they will hold up, I do about the same perhaps even a little more trail (single track) riding on them.

We no longer have them, but bigger kids (pre-teens) could probably ride them, but not smaller children. Makers should be able to give you dimensions on website.

No. But I should mention that if the rubber around the toe does tear so I doubt they would last long if you did that. (Plus it might look a little odd)

Yea man the abec 7 ogs are really good. real fast real clean. They started sputterting and lost spin around 2 months of skating everyday.

They have indoor wheels on the skates, which has ridges in them. So therefore should not be used outside. Find a skate that is labeled indoor/outdoor.

For anyone else who wants to know the answer to this -- the answer is NO WAY!!! I'm on my second pair for one of my older girls, and they just broke again. AVOID.

I would suggest that you do. There's no way to estimate how long one would last for you; it all depends on how big your bunion is, how much friction there is in your shoe, and if you have any other abnormalities with your feet. I do enough running that I definitely need more than one on hand at all times. Why don't you try one first, prior to ordering multiples?

nah, they tend to skip and hop when I try to slide with them. You CAN slide with them, in fact I learned how to slide with them. They're just not great for it. They're great cruising wheels, they're big and soft and they keep momentum well.

Our experience was that the wheels did fit, but that they either wore out extremely quickly (maybe an hour of use), or about half of them literally shredded. We bought the original Ripstik wheels after going through all these, and one set of the originals is definitely lasting longer than 8 of these. Truly. I would try something else. Good luck!

Hi Robin, I had mine for 3years and they are still good. Yes, they are plastic and seem like they might not last. My kid was 2 when we got them and he is not aggressive. there is a UTube video to help get better traction on them but I never did that yet.
