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

I bought these shoes 2 years ago for my son

He loved them and they held up beautifully the entire school year

This year I am buying them again for both of my sons
