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

I'm not sure if they're rated for outside use, but they're aluminum, so I think they would do fine outside.

We have only ever used the skates indoors, but they are great quality so I would say you could take them out if you had a smooth place for the child to skate. I wouldn't think you'd want to use them indoors again once you have taken them out though. Hope this helps!

These skates are only for children. So you would have to check out the men skates on amazon. Hope this helps

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.

The wheels have grooves in them, I used them outdoors. Also, because of these grooves, they don't move as fast as smooth wheels would. These skates are men's shoe sizes. I can wear a men's size 7 (but in women's shoes I always have to wear an 8 or 9). Since these are men's shoe sizes, I ordered a size 7 and they fit perfectly.

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

We have not used them outside. Only at the roller rink. They are very good quality so I think you could use them on the sidewalk/driveway.

We have used them on our solid oak floors (not pr-efinished) and have had no problems, it's actually quite cute and hilarious to watch them in our cold Chicago winter :) These have never been used outside, so we weren't concerned. After we can use them outside, I will have to see if the wheels are scratched up and then they will not be used inside any longer. However, if you do not have solid, or have a softer wood like walnut, I probably would not let them be used indoors.

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.

Used both indoors and outdoors by my grandchildren. They do have tile and wood flooring in their home, though. The skates roll great there.

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

Hi Kimberly,I forgot to say that my son LOVES them and we are extremely happy with them on all levels. As long as you have grassy areas that he can run and play in they will be used.

I don't think they would do very well on hot pavement..they aren't very thick, more like ballons like the other person said. Plus, on the pavement they won't hold up very well anyways.

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

These can certainly be used outside, but they need a good flat surface - so not gravel or loose dirt. They work great on asphalt, concrete, and seamless wood.

My experience with the cleats has been great traction on ice and snow. I did not notice any slippage on cleared asphalt or concrete. However inside they are very slippery on hardwood and laminate floors so I recommend taking them off as soon as you enter a building.
