Well, the top gift for kids in the UK this year must have been
 

Sneakers with rollerskates in the heel. Not joking - just about every other girl under 13 I have seen in stores is rolling around on them and a couple boys too. I know I am getting older when I haven't even had a wiff of a trend before I see it on the street.

Those horrible things have been in the states since 99ish... the fad dies, and comes back...

It should just die.

im just pissed i didnt have it as a kid. :disgust

they're very slick.....have been in the states for years

I have seen them advertised in the past but never seen so many kids with them. Seriously can't go out of the house without a kid gliding past me.

haha-- pics please?! I want those shoes!

looks fun when those kids whip around in stores. the floors are perfect in stores so you see it often when shopping

fucking satan shoes... I can't even count how many kids have run into me with the GOD DAMN "shoes" on.

they've been around a while here like munki said

http://www.heelys.com/ - biggest brand in the states

I'd need a pair of these when I go to the airport, I rather roll than to run around to catch my flight

If I could manage to take a picture of somebody's child and not get beaten I would.

I hate them in supermarkets..bad enough dealing with people that can't manage their carts without adding kids on wheels that you can't tell are wheels until they glide to the chaos.

When I was a kid, we had to settle for "pumps"

I remember Pumps man, shit me and my older bro both had a pair.
i would prefer to have had the wheels on my shoes though, i was lazy from way back then.
