Boots on wheels

Not so long ago, the word "step rider" came into use. These are people who can often be found on the streets of big cities. They cannot remain invisible because the way of their movement is boots on wheels.

Step riders wear such shoes everywhere - in the subway, along the street, and wherever there is a flat surface. Originating in America, this movement has spread to almost all developed countries.

Boots on wheels have another name - roller sneakers... And it looks like a hybrid of rollers and sneakers.

These sneakers come with wheels, a stylish bag for them and a key. It should be noted that the wheels are consumables and when they become unusable, it is easy to replace them by purchasing new ones.

You can ride in these boots on any level surface, including asphalt. The main thing is to avoid such weather phenomena as snow and rain, as well as an abundance of sand on the road. Therefore, it is recommended to ride in such shoes only in summer and in dry weather.

Models on wheels are divided into sneakers and sneakers... It is recommended to purchase sneakers for children, as they provide better stability. Such boots will become a worthy alternative to a bicycle in terms of injuries while riding.

The main features of roller sneakers are the following:

1. In most cases, children's models have a multi-layer sole, which will last more than one season.
2. For those who do not want to constantly move around on wheels, it is better to choose models with one wheel. It can be easily replaced with a special plug and the sneakers are used as normal shoes.
3. For those who already practice extreme driving, manufacturers offer models with plastic inserts.

Like any product, wheeled shoes have their pros and cons. Let's consider the most popular ones.

Of the pluses it is:

1. Development of coordination. During skiing, all muscle groups are involved, which has a good effect on physical development in general. Especially when it comes to children.

Well, the disadvantages include the fact that it is not recommended to wear such shoes for a long time, especially for children.

And, of course, the weight of the sneakers. You need to understand that in ordinary boots, the load on the leg is much less than in models with wheels, so it is necessary to calculate the optimal walking time, based on age as well.

• The main criterion when choosing boots on wheels is age. There are a variety of sizes on sale, including models for the smallest children from three years old.

• But still it is better to wait until seven years with the acquisition. It is at this age that the child finally develops coordination and balance, and also develops muscles that can withstand the weight of such shoes.

• Therefore, if everything is clear with adult models and you can choose any shoes regardless of weight, then it is better to choose lightweight shoes for children that do not constrain or burden movements.

• If the boots are too heavy, the child will quickly get tired and uncomfortable wearing them. This means that he will not be able to appreciate all the charm and fun of these shoes.

• For better fixation of the leg, choose lace-up models. It is they who will firmly fix the leg, and the process of learning to ride will become easier and faster.

• As for the size, for adults it should be chosen in size. But for children, you can take a little more shoes. The main thing is that the child is comfortable in them.
• And the main thing is the wheels. When choosing, consider the type of bearings. For beginners, wheels with bearings are chosen, for which the coefficient is lower.
• Also, the wheels are divided by size - standard and large... The latter will provide better grip and are suitable for older people, as they can withstand a lot of weight.
