If your precious little snowflakes ask for a pair of Heelys, please do NOT indulge them. These things are an incredible menace. I have been crashed into, mowed down, and run over by kids whose parents don’t control the use of their kids’ shoes. You wouldn’t let your little angels ride a bike inside your local Target, so why on earth would you let them wear the equivalent of roller skates indoors?

I have seriously had it with these shoes. If you’ve ever been the victim of a Heely-related crash, then you know what I’m talking about. And I honestly don’t know which is worse: the out of control kids, or the parents who turn a blind eye. The kids I’m talking about are old enough to know better than to race down the aisles of the grocery store knocking stuff of the shelves and people off of their feet.

So parents, don’t give into the fad. Do the rest of society a favor and keep your kids out of Heelys.
