Are these skates okay for outside use? My son will use them on pavement outside.

Yes, absolutely, that's how my son and I used them. Of course you have to try to find relatively nice streets but that applies to any pair of skates I guess

I can't answer that question, my son had only used them indoors. I will say the wheels are good quality that I wouldn't see it to be a problem but I'm not sure if they need special wheels for that. Sorry I couldn't help

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

The only difference really is supposed to be the material the wheels are made of. Now, they don't say what they are made of, but most outdoor skates are urethane wheels, and they do fine on any surface, they are tougher is all. Wipe them off before going in the rink so any gravel, etc doesn't scratch the rink floor!

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

I do drive mine outdoors, but it is not very rugged. It is good on paved surfaces but not on gravel or bumpy yards. I have ridden mine in the rain but I wouldn't let it get too wet or it might damage it. I don't think it would be good in snow or on icy surfaces. Better for malls or paved surfaces.

I use them outside in New York State, though I bring them in for the winter. Unless you have an extremely strict homeowner's association, then yes, they can be used outdoors

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

They could, but not advised. The wheels are polyurethane, however they are soft and will wear out very fast, and be too tacky to enjoy on pavement. On a wood floor, they are great... Not advised for outdoor.

My daughter uses these outdoors to skate to the park and back. Because of our busy schedules, she does not get to skate often. She used her skates outside maybe 8 times the whole year, and skates around the house in them often. So far they are holding up well. She skates in the easily and every time we did skate to the park with them, someone stopped us to comment on how cool looking the skates are.

My sisters use them mainly outdoors, but they sometimes wear it while skating on our wood floors and it works great. They go a bit fast indoors, making it easier to fall if your child is inexperienced.

These skates are exactly what they say they are, roller derby skates, made for skating fast on a smooth surface, i supposed you could wear them on a sidewalk but i would wear kneepads!

I gave them as a gift to our three year old grandson; he skates in the kitchen floor right now, but I am sure he will be able to use them outdoors when the weather gets warmer; they seem to be made out of a hard plastic, but for a three year old, out door play would not be out of order, he loves them; I hope this helped;

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 personally would not because I would not want my wheels to get roughed up. But I'm sure you can skate anywhere with a smooth surface.

I don't know about roller rinks, but my grandson uses his skates on concrete, blacktop, and brick walkways.

I would say since they are clear would be ok for indoor use/ also should be fine outside but of course they would not last long.. LOL I used these wheels to make a PVC Rollercoaster For the kids at our Vacation bible school two summers ago. This was the hit of the year, check out youtube PVC rollercoaster test pilot. LOL

the wheels are silicon based so outdoor wear should not be a problem. just remeber that gravel and stones will embedded in the wheel so be sure to clean off. also be sure and wipe off the boot if it gets wet.. my daughter used her's in the driveway(concrete) and garage..
