Shoes with wheels that kids wear.

[Jagaang]

Waste of money, don't bother. They can also cause other injuries. You ned good high quality footwear on your feet, not toys.

If you really need something small and light with wheels...get one of those Razors. They are light, indestructible, and cheaper than the shoes. You'll look goofy but who cares....you'll be hauling a$$.

Here's a fancy one, but you get the idea:

I guess there's a reason why they didn't have any old actors in this movie:

Or you can ride a bike or even better, drive away.

Certainly not going to be good for off road. Bike is probobly the best option. I hurt my hip playing sports and despite the damage I find a bike actually makes it better, so if I had to get out fast that would be my prefered method.

The vision I'm seeing is a cartoon of Willie Coyote on skates trying to go and not getting any traction and busting his azz just before the truck runs over him, shortly after that the bird stops by and pecks the bird seed ad says BEEP BEEP!!
I think a bicycle would be lots safer and faster for you if you can ride one. I realise some folks with physical challenges cant ride a bike very well, hope that's not your case. Hope you find a solution!!!

I wanted roller blades in the worst way when I was a pup. But I lived on a farm, and our driveway was dirt/gravel, and the yard was grass. So I never got my roller blades because I couldn't think of a good place to use them.

I wouldn't think you'd fare any better unless you were in a warehouse with nice new floors.

Already have one crack on my backside, and have no desire for another which is what I would achieve with those things, roller skates, or any such items.

Stick with a bike or with your two good feet. Even if you feel you could not physically walk that well, you will get further down the road at a slow pace versus trying with a broken leg or something. Remember the tale of the hare and the turtle.

There's a reason why emergency room docs hate stuff like heelies. Then take into account that as we get older our bones are more brittle and you get ppl like my sister who can fall down and shatter her arm bones in 10 places. And if you have arthritis, you'd have to really work up to wearing them for any length of time just to see if the motion will irritate your joints. Also, if you have arthritis and haven't been moving around a whole lot, your bones will be much less dense. It was amazing how much less dense my left knee was over my right just from favoring my left knee for 6 months when my ACL snapped.

Personally, I think it's a bad idea. But it's good that you're using your noggin and thinking outside of the box

I'm sure I could find a pair of the adjustable metal strap-to-your-shoes kind in a box of old toys if I tried. The rollerskate equivalent of showshoes.

I keep one of these in the trunk of my car. .
