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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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 can't say for sure but I can say that my daughter wears hers for indoor and outdoor skating. I will say also, that for my daughter, they really do take a beating during the 2 indoor practices each week and during the roller derby bouts as well. She uses them more on wooden floors but she has also used them on concrete, asphalt and sport court flooring. They're affordable and durable, at least they have been for us :)

I don't know about roller rinks, but my grandson uses his skates on concrete, blacktop, and brick walkways.

They might seem a little weird from another person's perspective. But don't think you'll have any problem skating at all. You might be able to make those turns quicker on those powerslides

I don't see why not. The only issue you might have is keeping them in place, assuming there isn't some sort of edging on the sides of the sidewalk. I used it in the landing of a concrete stairwell at basement level, so it's right against the walls.Good luck!

I don't have an asphalt driveway, but they really are skateboard wheels, so try a skateboard and you will have your answer!

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. ????

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!

You can use the wheels on these skates outdoors on smooth asphalt or concrete however, once they are used outdoors, most skating rinks do not allow them to be used on the wood flooring afterwards.

Yes they can only be ridden on roads or bike paths, not sidewalks.The bike is nice, but beware that Customer Service sucks.

Absolutely can be driven on the sidewalk---it is not that wide, will fit most sidewalks.
