The wheels on the Roller Derby Boys Laser skates will work for both indoor and outdoor usage. Skateboard wheels will most likely fit on these skates, but would not be recommended.

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

Try razorama.com that's where we got our new wheels. Also, we look for old scooters (not the same model) at the thrift store and cannibalize those wheels too.

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!

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.

These are only for skateboard wheels as far as I am aware. They are the absolute top of the line bearings.

I just rrcently bought these skates for my 5 year old daughter who's birthday is in december after christmas. i too had a problem on ehat size to get as there is no chart...if this can help any i got the medium size as my daugtet wears a size 11 in shoes...she very petite and has a small shoe size but the lowest adjustment on the medium fit perfect for her shoe size which again is a size 11. the large size is mote for older kids such as 10 or so as i understand from numerous buyers and research prior to my purchase of this product. but they were goid built skates...i will advise that the wheels do not spin really fast when u get them and u can adjust them but if they are for a small child then thet will be fine. when my dauggter had her bday wr had it at a skating rink and thet worked perfectly for her and she was able to skate good in them...my advice would be for size 11 i would get medium for anything bigger get large...message me back if need any further assistance. i know how hard it is to get the right pair without information

It depends on kind of skating the skater wants to do. The wheels are fairly hard, so longer gliding rides aren't as possible as with the cruiser style wheels. If you want to do tricks, then the wheels should fine. I bought this as a first skateboard for my daughter to learn on. I then got a cruiser for my son. The difference in the ride-ability was noticeable.

yes you can put them on a drop through deck, but I prefer putting them on just a regular skateboard deck. I tried and place them on a 46 downhill board, and they rode pretty cool like surfing on water. Sidewinders ride good on any deck. cruisers are fun, flexi bored are fun too. check out sector 9 striker board.

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

Over last summer, my 5 year old daughter did pretty well using these on sidewalks. However, because roller skates have front and back side-by-side wheels, they go "bump, bump" as the front two wheels, then the back two wheels, hit the sidewalk joints. (Unless your timing is good enough to step over the joints.) Roller blades, on the other hand, have all of their wheels in line. That means that only one wheel hits the joint at one time, and the other wheels are all "on the flat". That is better. I don't know about availability of roller blades for young girls but, if available, I would consider them over roller skates for use on sidewalks. Roller skates turn better, but roller blades are better over joints. Over last summer, my 5 year old daughter did pretty well using these on sidewalks.

I would say yes. The wheels are good material, high quality and can be used indoors and outdoors.

yes, but as I mentioned they are hard wheels, meaning they are not of the soft variety that roll over cracks and rocks well. The board is great. I put softer wheels on it so it would be smoother for my son. Still, it is a great to learn on if you find a smoother surface, or are a pretty good rider already. Soft wheels durometer 78 (cruising) , trick wheels durometer 90-100. these are prolly durometer 99.

yes, adult can skate it, but I never learned how to do tricks, so I can't comment on that. I learned that now the wheels come with a harder durometer so that the kids can learn tricks. My child put slightly softer wheels on it durometer 92; now it is faster, and rolls smoother. However, the durometer for cruiser board wheels is about 78A: Use the softer wheels if you just plan to ride sidewalks. (cruiser board). These may wear faster also (about 35$). He can learn on it if he gets into it we can check on tweeking it in to what he likes.

I would suggest upgrading your bearings. You can get something faster. Skate shops or the Internet will have a wide selection to choose from. Research online about the various bearings that are available. You can pick them up pretty cheap or go all out and get high end bearings. You can also replace the wheels depending on what surface you skate on. My daughter has not done so but you can get a recommendation from a skate shop. I would definitely replace the bearings if you want to go faster. I hope this helps.

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.

Yes, you can skate outdoors with them without a problem. However, what I have found in doing so are unsightly scrapes and gouges on the skates from where my daughter has taken a fall on the pavement.
