  • HEELYS INC Profile

    Heelys can't touch Elvis as The King of Rock 'n' Roll but the company has made a name for itself with those who walk and roll. Its flagship product, HEELYS-wheeled footwear, includes a wheel in the heel that enables the user to transition from walking to skating. The company also sells helmets and other protective gear, as well as replacement wheels. Founded in 2000 Heelys has been on a roll since and sells its products at big box retailers nationwide, including Dick's Sporting Goods, Journeys, and Sports Authority, as well as online through the likes of Zappos.com. The company also has independent distributors in Japan, South Korea, China, and Southeast Asia.
