So I’ve never actually worn Heelys shoes, but have seen many kids wear them. Personally, I’m not a fan, but, for a kid, they look like the funnest thing ever.
Well, looks like someone got the idea to use them in an airport, and I have to say…the idea is genius! Not only does it work well on all of the smooth surfaces between gates, but it also allows you to spend extra time in lounges, not having to take as much time to walk to your gate. Late for a flight? No problem. Get through security and skate past all the other passengers, right into boarding.
I don’t really know how these shoes work and how the wheels are activated, but for traveling, this sure looks fun!
Would you ever consider getting Heelys shoes to use in an airport?

I’m curious how much distance he covered in that 3:46 minutes.
