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

My kids 16 and 14, say they'll be fine on paved surface. They have used indoors at rink (skate nights, not hockey), and while not ideal there, they do ok. Outside, no complaints. These are harder than other wheels they've had, but they play pickup hockey mostly on medium asphalt.

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!

I think they will be fine however, my 9 year only hits them in our indoor net. Not sure how they would hold up outside and being hit by older kids. Sorry, I wish I was more help.

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.

They are great. My 5 year old is a level 4 ice skater. She skates faster and further than her older brothers. I take her to the University to skate in the summer where the sidewalks are immaculate. Watch for rocks and wood chips. Universities are well maintained so I don't have to worry about that. There is no indoor rink here so I had to go outdoor wheels. Hope that helps. Cherrie

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!

I have all mine outdoors in the stables. They are under cover but exposed to the south Florida air. The finish holds up very well, but the bearings only last about one year for me, but that is running 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Also, the metal blades can be a hazard so make sure they are up out of reach.

Yes, my daughter uses them at the local skating rink and they perform great she loves them.

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

Yes they are. My daughter uses hers outside all the time. I oil the wheels every so often just to keep then rolling smoothly. They are a great pair of skates

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.

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 son has worn them outdoors, but he plans to wear them indoors too. I don't know about the skateboard wheels.

I can't say for sure but I can say that my daughter wears hers for indoor and outdoor skating. I will say also, that for my daughter, they really do take a beating during the 2 indoor practices each week and during the roller derby bouts as well. She uses them more on wooden floors but she has also used them on concrete, asphalt and sport court flooring. They're affordable and durable, at least they have been for us :)

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.

I'd say they are specifically for driveway/garage/outdoors, and not so much for roller rink.
