Are these skates okay for outside use? My son will use them on pavement outside.

Yes, absolutely, that's how my son and I used them. Of course you have to try to find relatively nice streets but that applies to any pair of skates I guess

I can't answer that question, my son had only used them indoors. I will say the wheels are good quality that I wouldn't see it to be a problem but I'm not sure if they need special wheels for that. Sorry I couldn't help

I also trail skate in these skates. I would recommend buying a set of softer outdoor wheels. The ones that come stock on the R3 aren't very good for outdoor in my opinion.

No, these are soft rubber wheels for indoor rinks only. Great skates but not for outside.

My experience with the cleats has been great traction on ice and snow. I did not notice any slippage on cleared asphalt or concrete. However inside they are very slippery on hardwood and laminate floors so I recommend taking them off as soon as you enter a building.

I think they will be fine however, my 9 year only hits them in our indoor net. Not sure how they would hold up outside and being hit by older kids. Sorry, I wish I was more help.

They are great. My 5 year old is a level 4 ice skater. She skates faster and further than her older brothers. I take her to the University to skate in the summer where the sidewalks are immaculate. Watch for rocks and wood chips. Universities are well maintained so I don't have to worry about that. There is no indoor rink here so I had to go outdoor wheels. Hope that helps. Cherrie

My daughter uses these primarily on asphalt, but can also skate on the concrete sidewalk. It may depend on te condition of the concrete too. She is a beginning level skater.

They can be, I would not recommend this brand. They are a cheaper skate. Spend the extra money and buy something like better

I bought these for my 10 year old nephew and they are moderately used. So far there has been no need to sharpen. They are excellent skates. His parents loved because they are adjustable and snap on. He could easily do it himself

I use them outside in New York State, though I bring them in for the winter. Unless you have an extremely strict homeowner's association, then yes, they can be used outdoors

The only difference really is supposed to be the material the wheels are made of. Now, they don't say what they are made of, but most outdoor skates are urethane wheels, and they do fine on any surface, they are tougher is all. Wipe them off before going in the rink so any gravel, etc doesn't scratch the rink floor!

Yes. I would suggest wearing them one place or the other. But, just check the wheels for pebbles before going to the rink and you should be fine. If there is a problem, you could buy new wheels if needed.

Depends on what you want them for. They're not truly functional as skates, and the lock on the wheels doesn't work well. If you really want your grandson to skate, you might want to pony up for real skates. But for a relatively inexpensive starter skate, its OK.

My daughters use these skates on the sidewalk, pavement, even on wood and they do not get stuck even at times when there are rocks or pellets they just go over them or the rocks just slide on the side of the skates.

Yes! They'd be quite suitable for outdoor play! Buy PLENTY !! I want to add to the set I bought my grandson; he loves them!

Sure, if you child can stand/walk with some stability they should be fine. The wheels really roll though and if you don't have them locked your child is going to fall - I suggest helmet, knee pads etc. These skates grow with your child as the size is adjustable. I love this product.

yes, outdoor. I'm not quite sure what the options would be. (they can use SPD or Look cleats)
