Are these skates 100% useable for outdoors on pavement?

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.

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.

Yes, I tried them outside and the roll better on smooth pavement. Sucks for indoor rinks thou!

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.

I also trail skate in these skates. I would recommend buying a set of softer outdoor wheels. The ones that come stock on the R3 aren't very good for outdoor in my opinion.

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.

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!

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.

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 think they are both but i only use indoors. They are for beginners and by no means a "Speed" skate. The wheels are very wide and have a strong grip on them. I think they would be better for outdoor. I agree that they are hard to skate indoors with. very comfortable on your feet though.

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.

Yes, definitely can use outside. The only risk is going down any slope, there are no brakes, so flat areas are best. My kids love it, and well built, had it for over a year now.

Used both indoors and outdoors by my grandchildren. They do have tile and wood flooring in their home, though. The skates roll great there.

We have used them on our solid oak floors (not pr-efinished) and have had no problems, it's actually quite cute and hilarious to watch them in our cold Chicago winter :) These have never been used outside, so we weren't concerned. After we can use them outside, I will have to see if the wheels are scratched up and then they will not be used inside any longer. However, if you do not have solid, or have a softer wood like walnut, I probably would not let them be used indoors.

Yes! They'd be quite suitable for outdoor play! Buy PLENTY !! I want to add to the set I bought my grandson; he loves them!

yes, outdoor. I'm not quite sure what the options would be. (they can use SPD or Look cleats)

I'm not sure, but my daughter has been skating indoors and outdoors almost daily since she got these for Christmas.

I use them outside all the time, I have not had any problems they are holding up really well.
