The lighted wheel is powered by a generator in the wheel Surprisingly there is no noticeable drag due to the generator; they roll as fast as the clear Mega wheels normally do The wheels can be used in any Mega model but in this new shoe there are openings in the side of the heel to let more light out When rolling slow the lights actually blink but at normal rolling speeds the light appears constant The light is blue which is cool but it has to be pretty dark for the light to be noticed by others The shoe in my size 11 seems to have a larger toe box than other Heelys (good for people with wider feet) I don't care for the view looking down from the top of the shoe too much white which makes the toe look really huge The shoe design itself is a bit unusual with the strap across the forefoot Someone said though that they look like footwear that an astronaut would wear I think they're right and now I like them better! The flat laces are way too long also stretchy which makes them even longer when laced up snugly The sole is more flat than most Heelys Thus when I walk the toe "slaps" on hard surfaces The tongue is thin and not as cushy as most other Heelys Also they're not as comfortable as other Mega models primarily because they don't have a sculpted insole like all the other Heelys I have In summary the lighted wheel is great: it rolls fast and can be used in other Mega models

Bought these in brown - liked them so much I ordered them in black as well Looks like they will be my go-to casual shoes for the fall and winter As usual superior service from ThumbTrade Read somewhere that the firm is selling - hope the new owner will continue the fine service
