Are these durable enough for roller derby?

Bought for my Grandson and he has had no issues with them but I hope he is not as hard on them as Roller Derby.

Angelica-- These are strong and I feel like my daughter will be protected if she falls, but I can't say with any degree of certainty that they are durable enough for something like roller derby.

They do have special goalie skates for roller hockey...look into those first, then decide if you think it's worth it to spend the extra cash on goalie design.

No. They are made of foam. Not much bounce at all. And soft when they hit during dodgeball. So no injuries.

They are durable and solid; however, when I place a firmed grip around them, they flex enough so there should not be any problem with the plastic cracking while the kids are having fun. I could be wrong but that's my opinion :-) about this product.

Yes, though they are more gearing for aggressive skating. If you are merely skating down streets, or a bike path, I would opt for something cheaper. Another note, their sizes run a little small, so if you need a medium, maybe try a large.

I wouldn't buy these, the bearings were shot when ours arrived. The skates are very shaky to ride on. It costs more to fix replace the bearings than the skates are probably worth. It pays to buy local, directly from a rink.

Yes. My niece does. She also wears them at the skating rink. They are very smooth wheels so if they are learning make sure they wear protective gear. Hope this helps

Yes. I was actually surprised at how durable they are. My 6 children played with them this summer and weren't careful and they lasted!

They seem to be durable. I bought my 7 year old some from a different company (Sony, I think) and he broke them the first time he put them on. However, he has been using the Kensington headphones for a couple of months and they are still in good condition. I bought some for myself, but do not use them often because they hurt my ears after more than 15 minutes or so. The cushioning pads are not very soft.

yes! I ordered them for my wife who is a recreational skater. Ignore all the hardcore skater reviews.. These are perfect for going out and skating a couple of times a week.

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

I think they would be durable, but I'm not a drummer and I bought these for my 3 year old.

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.

yes very smooth. My nephew has used them at the roller rink and on the black top.

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!

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.

I would think so! So far they have been very strong, no tear in the usual get in and out spots.
