Are these skates for street use or indoor only?

I honestly didn't know there were different skates for outdoor and indoor use. I thought you could use them anywhere. With that said, I've only skated out on the streets, on sidewalks, and I had no trouble with them.

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.

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.

These work fine on icy blacktop, packed snow, bare sidewalks or roads. Just indoors they are a hazard.

I only used mine indoors, but don't know why they couldn't be used outdoors. metal and painted black, should be ok outdoors

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

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.

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!

These skates are exactly what they say they are, roller derby skates, made for skating fast on a smooth surface, i supposed you could wear them on a sidewalk but i would wear kneepads!

I would say that they're and indoor toy. Not that you can't use them outside, but they could get rain splattered and muddy and a real pain to clean. I imagine their finish would suffer too.

Outdoor unless you have a basketball gym you can use it in. You practice hovering indoors but that's about it.

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.

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

I truly do not know - I ordered these for my granddaughter who lives about 3 miles from me; so I do not know where she uses them. It was my understanding that she wanted them so she wouldn't have to rent skates at the local skating rink. ????

I'd say they are specifically for driveway/garage/outdoors, and not so much for roller rink.
