Cheaper Alternative to Heelys

fdevine

I came accross this site yesterday while trying to source cheap (now know they dont exist) Heelys.

These are nicer than Heelys (IMO) and work out at under €50 delivered. UK based but warehouse is in Dublin, apparently.

Cant comment on the site or the 'CruzShuz' yet, but we did order two pairs last night, so will post comments when they arrive.

connundrum

What site?

fdevine

Sorry.......

This site

http://www.cruzshuzuk.co.uk/

Irishpimpdude

Just showed my little sis she seemed to like them alot, think she might get a pair, nice one

konline

I bought two pairs from them few days ago. The shipment was quick. My children liked them very much. I think they are good value.

neacy69

yeah they look class....for the kids i mean
wonder will they deliver size 12

majiktripp

Will these things not cripple a childs feet/legs after a while of constant use? Whatever happened to good ol' tyme walking....

wideangle

There was a incident somewhere in the country of a customer being knocked too the floor by wheelie wearing child,so their use is banned.You'll just get asked to walk in them rather than roll.

THEY ARE AN INSURANCE RISK.

Mod edit-If you have nothing better to contribute, don't bother. I'm sure the user is aware if they have any issues. "Somewhere" in the country...

fdevine

The 'CruzShuz' arrived in the post yesterday. Exactly 1 week after ordering.

Everyone is delighted with them. Quality seems to be fine. Neighbours & relations are going mad looking for the website address.

They come with moulded inserts for the soles, should you wish to remove the wheels.....for the weekly shop in Dunnes for example....LOL

silverY

They have a Irish web page too but it's under construction....


fdevine, how much was the delivery on the 2 pairs you bought?
Cheers

fdevine

We ordered 2 pairs, and the total came to €95.10

(stg £26.99 each + P&P stg £8.50 = stg £62.48)

silverY

fdevine, sorry to be a pain... was just about to order and noticed in the size coversion chart , it says dont order a size larger... Did you order yours in a size larger? What would you recommend in your opinion as I heard with the heelys this should be the case. Cheers matey

I don't suppose they have a version in respectable black office wear shoes?
¬_¬

fdevine

@ silverY

We ordered a Size 2 instead of a Size 1 purely because they didnt have the Size 1 in stock.

Since they're basically trainers they can be tightened more than if they were regular shoes. Plus, with a child, its not going to be long before they grow into them. IMO its better to get slightly too big than potentially too small.

Hope thats some help.

Please can anyone give me the trading details of the place selling the Cruzshuz. I ordered a pair from the website last week and paid with Paypal, tried to phone to get a delivery date and discovered that the website has closed down & no-one answers the phone.......

gill winsor

I hve a daughter who is desperate for a pair of Cruzshuz .I promised I'd order them today only to find website closed. Please Please Please any info about the company let me know so I can order them.:rolleyes:

fdevine

Sorry to hear about the difficulties you are having. Wasnt aware that the site had gone offline.

Only consolation, if you can call it that, is that if you paid via PayPal, you should be covered in the event of you not getting what you ordered.

My PayPal receipt gave the following details; Company name and presumably the name of the guy running the site.

Maverick Imports (daveellis86@hotmail.co.uk)

Hope thats some help.

gill winsor

Just tried the E- Mail address given above and the mail got rejected !!!
Does anyone else know where to get hold of Cruzshuz

SuperMum

Hi disgruntled mum

I ordered two pairs of Cruzshuz last Tuesday evening. The first pair arrived yesterday and the second today, so I'm sure yours will be delivered this week.

They look great. Haven't shown the kids yet - waiting for them to come home from school. They saved up themselves for them and have been asking every day if they've arrived. Got a bit of a shock this morning when I discovered the website had been closed down, then found this forum, and an hour later the second pair were delivered. Phhheww!

disgruntledmum

Thanks SuperMum, I ordered mine Wednesday so I'll keep my fingers crossed. They have been completely removed from Ebay, even the secondhand ones and a local skate retailer here in Manchester reported that he'd heard that those responsible for Cruzshuz were being pursued to the courts by Heelys for breach of their patent....They still seem to be on sale in Australia though.

gill winsor

Wish I'd ordered them last week !!!!! Thanks for all the comments and the info from Disgruntledmum. Looks like we will have to pay loads more and get Heelys not from this country though, far too expensive.

I bought two pairs in June for my kids. One week after purchase checked website and stated that due to legal action from Heelys, they had ceased trading and orders received would be despatched. I also emailed paypal receiver and he emailed to confirm I would definitely get - after 4 weeks I finally got them.

Just happened to look at the site again on Sunday 3/9/06 and noticed trading again so tried to order for a friend on Tuesday 5/9/06 and notice said site closed. Do not understand why this has happened again - although doesn't mention legal action this time. Good luck to those who are waiting but I am sure you will receive your order.

DVGLEISURE were selling these roller shoes on ebay for £27 including free extra wheels and laces and inclusive of post.I`ve spoken to them and I suppose for obvious reasons they have completely sold out but are expecting some new stock in around two to three weeks.Here is his email address douggee@btclick.com. and he is very helpful.It might pay you to register your interest because as he is the cheapest they sell very very quick.

JC's in Swords is selling fake Heely's at the mo. dont know a price though.

are cheap enough for the real heelys if your buying more than one pair, for three pairs it worked out a €63.50 each including p+p, worth thinking about if you knew a few people that wanted them for xmas etc.!

I was in there yesterday and they were giving them the Hard Sell @ €39 .

I ordered two pairs last Friday from CruzshuzUK and they arrived today. So, no worries for those people who have ordered last few days. As the website says, all the orders have been dispatched.

Cheers...

Knickers

I ordered a pair last thursday and i haven't recieved them yet. Not too worried about the €50 i paid just worried that if they don't arrive i'll have to pay €100 to not break a promise to a little girl!!!:eek:

dochmian

update.here is site selling cruzshuz.Newstock should be available in two weeks.

Voipjunkie

The indoor market in artane just across the road from Artane Castle

There is a woman selling them there for 40 euro

It is open Friday evening and Sat and Sun

They are the same as the cruzshuz

I bought 2 pairs last week

dispached

just came accross this discussion board regarding cruzshuz. orderd a pair on the 24 August last had them in three days orderd a second pair for a neighbour on the 28th August still have not recieved them getting a little anxious as payment has gone thru does anyone know if they are still delivering

disgruntledmum

Well despite being worried that the Cruzshuz I'd ordered would not materialize, 10 days after placing the order they turned up. They're pink instead of blue and the wrong model but at least they were the right size. Only problem is - as they didn't arrive in time I had to buy some Heelys to keep my promise for my daughter's birthday...........

mad m

Seen another alternative to these Heelys up in Sqaure Tallaght,a toy shop on middle level is actually calling them Heelys but the name of them are *Free*.They are also selling them In Tuthills in Ashleaf shopping centre crumlin,they cost €40-49 I think.

ST

Hi, also waiting on a pair ordered on 24th August. However sent an e-mail last thursday and received reply apologising for delay, and it said that all orders had been dispatched and that i should receive order today, but no delivery.

Can anyone tell me if these are being delivered by An Post or Courier?

Hopefully they arrive soon as my Daughter is getting impatient

ljnobbs66

Further to my earlier comments, the delivery was by courier.

I emailed cruzshuz and they said they have no plans for further trading and I have checked with Companies House and there are proposals to strike the company off!

ST

CruzShuz arrived in the post yesterday, exactly as ordered.

OCC

Hi there

check out www.atomicsportsshop.com

there's lots of funky stuff on there, that my kids have me tormented about

but also there is another alternative to heelys

Rollies - you just strap them on

we got 2 pairs a while ago - safer than heelys i reckon, because its easier to balance

also, my kids wont have grown out of them in 2 months

great value i reckon!!

BANBA TOYMASTER in Clearwater Centre, Finglas has 'Cruzshuz/Heelys' for €50. Boys and girls styles/colours available.

Badged 'FREE' ...but identical to the CruzShuz we bought, and €10-15cheaper than the cruzshuz.ie website.

Check this out - looks like they're back online ..... but in Dublin!

I was looking on eBay and found fr3shfr3shfr3sh - selling CruzShuz.
Although though they are more expensive than the original CruzShuz theyre still cheaper than Heelys.

You can see the listings here:

http://cgi6.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=fr3shfr3shfr3sh&completed=0&sort=3&since=-1

Theres only 2 pairs listed at the moment, but Ive emailed them and they said theyre getting more in the next week or so.

magnumlady

I heard that Dunnes are doing a cheaper version of Heelies for 45 euro. Going to have a look tomorrow.

gill winsor

Well I've now ordered a pair of Cruzshuz from the Dublin website slightly dearer than when on uk site but still a lot cheaper than Heelys, they are being dispatched today. Have been without my internet for a couple of weeks so haven't been able to do much about them. Thanks Disgruntledmum for info about the site.

gill winsor
