How do the skates perform on rough surfaces, such as asphalt?

They perform well. The wheels may wear down fast and unevenly with outside use though.

Depends on where you skate. I practice in a very dirty warehouse, so mine get dirty pretty quick. I go by how they feel and sound. You can tell when they need to be cleaned because they don't roll as smoothly

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.

My experience with the cleats has been great traction on ice and snow. I did not notice any slippage on cleared asphalt or concrete. However inside they are very slippery on hardwood and laminate floors so I recommend taking them off as soon as you enter a building.

I use it without the large wheels going to and from doctors etc and have no problem on pavement or sidewalks. Have not tried it in grass or dirt that way though.

Have you ever seen a skateboard? Its what you put on top. There are 3 different grades of roughness though. Not sure what this one is.

I'm not sure why they wouldn't be? I wouldn't use them on pavement though, as it tends to wear out the wheels and make them rough.

Good question. I've never tried them on gravel or dirt. Success most likely depends upon the type, size, and firmness of the gravel/dirt surface.

The wheels are smooth at point of purchase and if they do not spend too much time on an abrasive surface they remain rather smooth. My son rides the tricycle indoors, on smooth concrete, and soft dirt. I discourage his riding it on gravel and rough asphalt.

Plastic, very noisy, they can sometimes have difficulty gaining traction on asphalt but do really well in grass, mud, and rough terrain.

I bought them to use at the rink, but are more outdoor, the grip on the wheels seemed to rubbery for the rink and made it hard to skate in there!

No. I never had any trouble going over any type of surface. I travel extensively and over difficult surfaces - from escalators to sidewalks to gravel walkways. The wheels don't break apart of flake. Good thing since Wenger won't repair their products.

I personally would not because I would not want my wheels to get roughed up. But I'm sure you can skate anywhere with a smooth surface.

Yes. They are an excellent quality skate with great performance and stability.

Yes, my daughter uses them at the local skating rink and they perform great she loves them.

The wheels are a hard urethane. I haven't used it on asphalt but I would imagine it would be fine as long as the asphalt wasn't in bad shape.

The wheels are designed to work well on smoother surfaces. Nicely paved sidewalks and paths are perfect. I can't imagine this working well on a dirt road.
