Vintage Pop-Out Platform Sandal Skates

From the website:

............................

1970s vintage pop-out sandal skates in great condition... some scuffs/dings on the front toes probably from trying to stop (no brakes on these babies!) and a minor ding or two on each of the heels ... look to have been worn only a few times max, I'd say indoors only... the soles look new, a little wear on the wheels, but not much... made in taiwan...bottom sole made of hard wood... straps look to be syntheic material... adjustable ankle and toe straps... these are high and heavy — 2-1/2" without the wheels down... small rod on side pulls out and skate pops down... pull out again to push the wheels back up, works very smoothly... original box included... size 8 — box says fits size 7-8... they are AWESOME!

Concur.

Funny, the Heelys guys never alluded to this obvious ancestor.

No matter now.

These won't be available for long once they've appeared here.

Fair warning.

$85.
