Are these rollerblades good on sidewalks and roads?

Great on side walks, certain roads can be difficult but if the road is on the smoother side it ROCKS! Now I still rollerblade with these on the roads and in my area they are not that smooth but because I tend to rollerblade with a wide stride the side walks are not wide enough for me. So I do use these on the roads. At first my legs were extremely sore, but, got used to it. So I would say yes to both.

Yes if the road and sidewalk don't have any holes they are super smooth and fast.

Yes on flat surfaces. There is no braking system so hills would be a problem. It basically has roller blade wheels so as long as the surface is concrete or asphalt outside would be fine. Large cracks in the concrete and rocks could pose a small problem.

They are good wheels, suitable for the purpose. I too walk several miles/wk, and find them good. They are not skateboard quality,( which are my preference), but for a buggy with 100 lbs or less, on cement sidewalks they seem tbe durable. If you are on gravel or uneven dirt roads, it may not be enough.But the buggy is great, in general and much better and more useful than the cheaper wire baskets I have used. Ive had mine, used regularly for several months, and I find little to complain about. ( b/c the wheels swivel easily, and the sidewalks in my neighborhood, tilt for runoff, they tend to follow the tilt. Only complaint I have. They are good wheels, suitable for the purpose.

They aren't exactly roller blade material but a very durable hard plastic, high quality. We've had these for two years now, using them inside and outside on the street, still in perfect condition.

Hmmm my kids don't really skate outside because our driveway is too rough, but I don't see why you couldn't. I like these skates a lot, actually I have a pair for both of my daughters and myself because I liked them so much. They take them to the rink or skate around the house. If we have a smoother driveway, I'm sure they would skate outside with them too.

Yes! These wheels are like the rubber consistency if roller blade wheels. The fact that they are on casters (multi-directional) allows for more uniform pressure and grip. This is, bar none, the best walker toy out there.

The wheels are solid but they are only about 6 inches in diameter, so you'll have to "roll along" somewhat carefully and avoid potholes. But if you are willing to do this, you should be fine on sidewalks, asphalt and similar surfaces.

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

not super well, the wheels can slip a little bit, however, I simply put some grip tape that you can buy here on Amazon or at a local hardware store and it solved the problem. It works great outdoors on the sidewalks though without the tape

Yes. They are fine over gravel but yhey are air tires. Nails can puncture them. They come with a repair kit.

Absolutely. I often ride on gravel roads, my only fear is falling. I have aproximently 1000 miles on them, no flats. I weigh 180. Grip on pavement is awesome,I often counter steer corners at 30+ mph.

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 don't know. The ones I bought were light duty meant for walking around parking lots and sidewalks in snowy weather. As I noted in my initial review, I prefer Kahtoola Microspikes for that purpose.

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

They have good tread but I've never used them in snow or on ice. I think the design would be as good as any i've seen for those conditions.

Yaktraxs are great they work on ice and snow. I have worn them on the drive way with out slipping at all, i am sure it the same on concrete.OF course they will wear out quicker on concrete. They are easy to put on and take off so it may be better if you take them off.
