Are these rollerblades good on sidewalks and roads?

Great on side walks, certain roads can be difficult but if the road is on the smoother side it ROCKS! Now I still rollerblade with these on the roads and in my area they are not that smooth but because I tend to rollerblade with a wide stride the side walks are not wide enough for me. So I do use these on the roads. At first my legs were extremely sore, but, got used to it. So I would say yes to both.

Yes if the road and sidewalk don't have any holes they are super smooth and fast.

They are great for riding a "mountain bike" on pavement. Nice and smooth and quiet. They are very light and thin though, so off road use should be limited to well groomed trails. Rocks, thorns, or any other sharp terrain would be a killer.

My son uses it on sidewalks, so I assume if the road is relatively smooth it'd be fine.

It really depends upon your application. If you want this for running errands, getting from a building to your car and back, or other light outdoor use, it will probably be fine. If by 'out side' you mean traversing rocky or muddy terrain, I'd look elsewhere. The wheels are really made for relatively smooth surfaces, like pavement. Also, beware of large cracks in asphalt or concrete.

Yes. They are an excellent quality skate with great performance and stability.

Both of my children have a pair of this brand of skates and neither one of them has ever taken them to the rink. They wear them inside the house sometimes but mostly outside on the sidewalks and street. Neighbor kids have worn them so they have gotten a lot of use for the past year! I imagine the wheels would be better if they were rink only but we didn't purchase them for that. We just wanted them to have a good skate and also had something to do OUTSIDE! :-)

They are good for indoor floors or outdoors on sidewalks..they are very durable..my grandsons are 5 and 7..they love them !

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.

My granddaughter uses them on the sidewalk. We don't have a skating rink so I really cant say. They look like shoes that could be worn at a rink but I really don't know.

They perform well. The wheels may wear down fast and unevenly with outside use though.

Over last summer, my 5 year old daughter did pretty well using these on sidewalks. However, because roller skates have front and back side-by-side wheels, they go "bump, bump" as the front two wheels, then the back two wheels, hit the sidewalk joints. (Unless your timing is good enough to step over the joints.) Roller blades, on the other hand, have all of their wheels in line. That means that only one wheel hits the joint at one time, and the other wheels are all "on the flat". That is better. I don't know about availability of roller blades for young girls but, if available, I would consider them over roller skates for use on sidewalks. Roller skates turn better, but roller blades are better over joints. Over last summer, my 5 year old daughter did pretty well using these on sidewalks.

Yes. They are fine over gravel but yhey are air tires. Nails can puncture them. They come with a repair kit.

I use these on a paved bike trail and they are OK. The wheels do not roll by themselves very well, I think it is something with low quality bearings, so it is difficult to keep up with others. If there are any little rocks or stuff on the trail it is impossible to roll, I have to "walk" past the obstacles. I prefer roller blades for outdoors use. I do not have these problems when I use my roller blades.

These tires are not whitewalls. However, they are a really good tire for rougher surfaces than city streets. I ride on some trails and old train beds where the rails have been removed.

Yes, I brought them last year for my granddaughter and she has skated outdoors most of the time. They are tough, fit well and a good value for the price. Buy 1 size larger than their shoe size at least.

Sure. They will work in sand, mud, or snow. Anywhere you need to establish some traction and get your wheels moving a bit without spinning.

I do think they skate pretty good outside but eventually the wheels will go bad skating outside.
