Rink skate vs. sidewalk skate: Can you use these rink skates on the sidewalk?

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, 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

We've used ours on our driveway/sidewalks and not had any trouble. If you have hardwood floors, just be sure to wipe off the wheels bc any grains/dirt that embeds in the rubber wheels tends to scratch the floor.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by slippery... They're made out of a harder plastic for a rink/ track, not good for street use

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. ????

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

You might try a skating rink. My grandson loved his skates also. When they broke, we just purchased new ones. I was unhappy because I felt they should have lasted longer. They are cool!

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

I have always had the wheels on the sidewalk. I suppose you could put them on the grassy side but would be not as smooth of a surface.

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

Better on pavement. It is fine on grass, but it is definitely harder to pedal than on the sidewalk. My son mostly rides on the sidewalk.

both can be used at roller rinks, but rink skates tend to roll faster due to the thickness of the wheels.

My grandson wears his outside and also at skating rink . I don't know if skate board wheels will work , sorry .

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

I mean I couldn't see why not? You dont need special goalie skates to play goalie. Just worry about the wheels, the wheel they come with are made for indoor use.

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.
