A little extra help
POP questions, answered.
What is POP by Heelys?
POP by Heelys features retractable wheels that tuck into the soles, letting you switch between walking and rolling using the POP mechanism shown in the tutorial.
Does POP use the same wheel setup as classic Heelys?
POP uses a retractable wheel mechanism. Follow the POP instructions included with your shoes for setup and operation. The removable-wheel installation steps for classic Heelys are a different setup.
How do I switch back to walking?
Stop completely, then follow the POP tutorial and your included instructions to retract the wheels. Make sure both wheels are fully tucked into the soles before walking.
What if a wheel does not extend or retract?
Do not force the mechanism or continue rolling with a wheel that is not securely positioned. Contact Heelys customer service with your shoe model and a photo or short video so the team can help.
Keep the good times rolling.
