Skate Skooties are wheel-locking devices that allow skaters to move around with comfort and ease on rough surfaces, uneven terrain, or in places where "No Skating!" is enforced. It can take a long time to lace up your boots and find that perfect fit, and now you won't have to undo all of that hard work just to cross the hotel lobby or get to the bathroom. Skooties can also protect your nice indoor wheels if you need to go outside for any reason. Just slip the Skooties onto your wheels and Skoot around!
Their patent-pending wheel locks hold your wheels safely with silicone so that you can safely get over uneven ground and back to rolling safely. They come as a pair, so you can use one for each skate or double up and get a set of all four. They also work great for skaters who get told at establishments that they have to take off their skates because now they don't!
