Rink skate vs. sidewalk skate Can you use these rink skates on the sidewalk?

My daughters use these skates on the sidewalk, pavement, even on wood and they do not get stuck even at times when there are rocks or pellets they just go over them or the rocks just slide on the side of the skates.

both. My kid's other grandmom has a basement where they skate. I would not use them on good hardwood floors but probably no harm would be done.

They can be, I would not recommend this brand. They are a cheaper skate. Spend the extra money and buy something like better

I think it would be OK on a sidewalk. I don't think you need to have a perfectly flat surface for it to work.

Better on pavement. It is fine on grass, but it is definitely harder to pedal than on the sidewalk. My son mostly rides on the sidewalk.

We don't have them for our 3 daughters that all have this skate or a competing brand. They are 3, 6, & 8. With that said we also only use them at the Rollar Skating rink. If our girls where to use them outside we probably would get them. Hope this helps.

My grandchildren play with them on the cement in my back yard. Pavement doesn't work and I wouldn't want them going down hill on them. I think a flat surface outdoors is what they do.

Yes, it runs smooth on he street and in bicycle paths because the payement is smooth. However, the same isn't true for sidewalks. Most sidewalks are rough and uneven.

Ours aren't smooth either but once our daughter got the hang of maneuvering around cracks she does great! Great outdoor skates! I recommend getting an extra set of wheels like we did so she can use them at indoor rinks!

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.

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.

I think they would do just fine ice skating. They may not always stand up to rough asphalt, but ice is much more forgiving. I don't see why not!

No I do not use these outside. They have indoor wheels. If you want skates that go out side you will need different wheels

They can, like bike tires, but mine haven't so far. They're great on sand and uneven sidewalks, way better than plastic tires.

I purchased this for my grandson and he is small yet so he uses it indoors at the moment. They have tiled and hardwood floors where he rides it. However, there is no reason not to use it outside on a sidewalk as well. It was meant for both!

You can use the wheels on these skates outdoors on smooth asphalt or concrete however, once they are used outdoors, most skating rinks do not allow them to be used on the wood flooring afterwards.

I truly do not know - I ordered these for my granddaughter who lives about 3 miles from me; so I do not know where she uses them. It was my understanding that she wanted them so she wouldn't have to rent skates at the local skating rink. ????
