never had 'em growing up, but now as an adult I want a pair
Allow me to introduce you to the best documentary you will ever watch, Soap or Die. self-funded by the world’s last surviving 90s-00s Guy and soap shoe fanatic. 20 minutes of pure joy.
Oh my god this xslayer shit
Never heard of these so i searched a bit.
I still want a combo shoe of soap shoes + heelies. I think someone makes a kit to make your own heelies.

Heelys are still a thing, I wear mine too Costco.
Leave some women for the rest of us man. I can’t compete with that.
He already took my wife. Watch out.
Lmao “where do I know that username”
Who’s to say ¯\(ツ)/¯
I also choose this person’s wife
Now as an adult you can’t afford using them because you will hurt yourself, badly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
exactly why I haven’t
Combine these with heelies and parkour for maximum urban mobility.
As an orthopedic surgeon who wants a bigger yacht, I think this is a great idea
I will never kowtow to big ortho
i think you’re onto something.
Every once in a while, as an out of shape guy in my 30s, I think about buying myself a pair of heelys.
Was never a skater, never really had much interest in them as a kid, but something about the idea of rolling around in Costco while I do my grocery shopping appeals to me.
My friends do that.
Live your dream, mate.
Be free~
i liked these because I could jump way way way higher than i ever could on my skateboard
just go to the park and sprint at a bench/table and grind the entire length of the thing. things were fun as all hell for awhile. this was like… god… 1997?
it got old after awhile because while doing sick ass grinds was fun as hell, that was all you could really do. went back to skateboarding pretty quick.
One of my friends used to have a pair, apparently they were pretty fun for a while but wore out too quickly so he just kept skateboarding.
can’t you also skateboard on them?
maybe so some weird grab the board trick while you slide down the rail on your soap shoesPhysically yes, but then you run afoul of skateboarding philosophy and whether it counts if you’re just sliding around on your feet instead of the board.
I’m the kid who got these and heely’s banned at my school. Was quite the trend setter in elementary.
Always wanted one, and I never forget them because sonic adventure 2
The original soap shoes brand is defunct, but another brand, EPIC, still makes them
Please tag as NSFL, I sprained my ankle by just looking at the picture.
something something I couldn’t help myself on the train and then the others joined in
I had them! Hurt myself plenty…
Immediately thought of Sonic Adventure 2 lol I’ve never met anyone who actually owned a pair (I don’t think they ever made it to Europe but I might be wrong)
I’m guessing the black parts slide like wax? For ‘grinding’ without a board?
That’s the gimmick, saw them around the 90s skater culture and a bit after as I recall.
you can be a fruitbooter without the fruit
