Are these wheels for indoor (skating rink) or outdoors?

I would say since they are clear would be ok for indoor use/ also should be fine outside but of course they would not last long.. LOL I used these wheels to make a PVC Rollercoaster For the kids at our Vacation bible school two summers ago. This was the hit of the year, check out youtube PVC rollercoaster test pilot. LOL

My 9-year-old daughter has used these skates, skating up/down our concrete driveway, for about 3-months now. No problems with skating outdoors for her.

My son has worn them outdoors, but he plans to wear them indoors too. I don't know about the skateboard wheels.

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.

I think these are for indoor use only. I believe there is another version available for outdoor use.

Yes, the skates can be worn outside. They are fun for kids with having the light up feature but the lights eventually stop working. Overall still a nice buy.

Yes they are. My daughter uses hers outside all the time. I oil the wheels every so often just to keep then rolling smoothly. They are a great pair of skates

These are rink skates, not for outdoor. For outside skates you will need a harder compound of wheels and bearings specially made for outside skating.

Yes, the shoes work fine for indoor spinning or outdoor biking. Just make sure you buy the clips to attach to the bottom of the shoes

The wheels have grooves in them, I used them outdoors. Also, because of these grooves, they don't move as fast as smooth wheels would. These skates are men's shoe sizes. I can wear a men's size 7 (but in women's shoes I always have to wear an 8 or 9). Since these are men's shoe sizes, I ordered a size 7 and they fit perfectly.

It's probably more for outdoor use, but I don't see why it couldn't be used indoors. I wouldn't suggest using it for both. The treads may pick up more dirt/grit outside, then may scratch the floors if used inside. As it is a rubber exterior, it may also make scuff marks on indoor floors. As long as you make sure it's clean, I don't think it would really hurt to use it inside. I've seen in other reviews where people use it for both.

They are indoor only. I would definitely not advise using them outdoors. Even in an entry alcove.

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

They could, but not advised. The wheels are polyurethane, however they are soft and will wear out very fast, and be too tacky to enjoy on pavement. On a wood floor, they are great... Not advised for outdoor.

The wheels are rubber- like inline skate wheels. The grip and roll very well on hard wood floors.

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

I wouldn't buy these, the bearings were shot when ours arrived. The skates are very shaky to ride on. It costs more to fix replace the bearings than the skates are probably worth. It pays to buy local, directly from a rink.
