Are these Skates good for outdoor exercising?

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.

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.

My daughter uses these outdoors to skate to the park and back. Because of our busy schedules, she does not get to skate often. She used her skates outside maybe 8 times the whole year, and skates around the house in them often. So far they are holding up well. She skates in the easily and every time we did skate to the park with them, someone stopped us to comment on how cool looking the skates are.

Both of my children have a pair of this brand of skates and neither one of them has ever taken them to the rink. They wear them inside the house sometimes but mostly outside on the sidewalks and street. Neighbor kids have worn them so they have gotten a lot of use for the past year! I imagine the wheels would be better if they were rink only but we didn't purchase them for that. We just wanted them to have a good skate and also had something to do OUTSIDE! :-)

I'm not sure, but my daughter has been skating indoors and outdoors almost daily since she got these for Christmas.

You should never go back and forth between skating indoor and outdoor with your skates. It can be very dangerous. When you are outside your wheels will become very rough and when you go indoors the wheels will not be even. Also, it can damage a wooden skate floor. Outdoor wheels need to be softer to be able to grip outdoor surfaces. A rink floor is more consistent and therefore you need a harder wheel.

Yes, I tried them outside and the roll better on smooth pavement. Sucks for indoor rinks thou!

I don't know. The ones I bought were light duty meant for walking around parking lots and sidewalks in snowy weather. As I noted in my initial review, I prefer Kahtoola Microspikes for that purpose.

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, I brought them last year for my granddaughter and she has skated outdoors most of the time. They are tough, fit well and a good value for the price. Buy 1 size larger than their shoe size at least.

Don't see why not. I got them for my granddaughter to skate in her long blacktopped driveway.

I do think they skate pretty good outside but eventually the wheels will go bad skating outside.

Yes. My niece does. She also wears them at the skating rink. They are very smooth wheels so if they are learning make sure they wear protective gear. Hope this helps

They perform well. The wheels may wear down fast and unevenly with outside use though.

They are great for riding a "mountain bike" on pavement. Nice and smooth and quiet. They are very light and thin though, so off road use should be limited to well groomed trails. Rocks, thorns, or any other sharp terrain would be a killer.

Absolutely! My kids both used these skates. They are well made and can be used indoors or outdoors!

No I do not use these outside. They have indoor wheels. If you want skates that go out side you will need different wheels
