Pro Series: first impression


The heelys pro series are the newest Heelys shoe that includes a mega wheel and a grindplate that many people have sought over after the discontinuation of the heelys torch. Although they are very alike in style they could not be any more different in comfort. The heelys Pro series (Heelys pro for short) has its ups and downs compared to the torch which had almost nothing but ups. The shoe being to stiff is one of them. It takes a good 2 or 3 days of wearing them in to completely settle into them and by then the shoe has a quiet used look already. Although many beg to differ, i believe the grindplates are also alot slower then the original express plates that came with torch. Don't think this shoe is horrible and adownfall yet the insoles of the heelys pro is ALOT more comfortable then the one on torch meaning you can barely feel your wheel there. The brakes have also been rised in comparison to the torch. this can either be a plus or a negative for you but for alot of us vert skaters it is definatly a plus. From me, the Heelys Pro get a B+ and if you dont already have torches these will be great for vert.
