Liekick® Roller Shoes — Frequently Asked Questions

LIEKICK combines premium sneakers and roller skates in one innovative design. With a quick-lock wheel system, you can switch from walking to riding in seconds. Designed for comfort, fun, and everyday adventures, LIEKICK lets you enjoy two ways to move in a single pair of shoes.

A single sneaker weighs roughly 1.25–1.7 lb (550–750 g), depending on the size.

The LEDs use a rechargeable Neon Flex strip that charges over USB and runs for about 5 hours on a full charge.

The control button sits under the tongue, on the right or left side. It does three jobs: press to turn the lights on/off, press again to switch between lighting modes, and it houses the charging port. Plug the included USB cable into that same button to charge.

Wipe them clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not machine wash or soak them — water can damage the wheel mechanism and the electronics.

Switching between walking and rolling takes just a second. The wheels are controlled by a single button on the heel of each shoe — no tools needed. Here's exactly how it works.

Rolling mode — getting the wheels out

1. Find the button. It sits on the heel of the shoe, with a small arrow on it.
2. Set it to “Open”. Turn the button so the arrow points straight up — this unlocks the mechanism.
3. Press to deploy. Push the button in firmly; the four wheels drop down out of the sole.
4. Lock it. Turn the button to the side until it clicks — this locks the wheels out so they stay firm while you roll. [?]

Walking mode — putting the wheels away

1. Keep the arrow up in the “Open” position (same starting point as before).
2. Press and push down. Press the button while pressing your heel (or toe) down onto the ground at the same time — this guides the wheels back up into the sole. [?]
3. Lock it. Turn the button to lock the wheels in the closed position, and the shoe walks like a normal sneaker.

The safety lock

When the button is turned to the locked position (arrow not pointing up), the wheels are held in place and can't deploy or retract by accident. That means once your wheels are away, they stay away while you walk — no surprises. [?]

First-time tips

• Practise the open/close a few times with your hand before wearing them, so the motion feels natural.
• The mechanism can feel a little stiff when brand new — it loosens up with use.
• Always switch modes on flat, stable ground.
• Roll on smooth, dry surfaces, and wear protective gear while you're learning.

Two easy techniques — the V-stop for slowing down, the T-stop for a full stop.

V-stop (to slow down): Widen your stance past shoulder-width, then gradually bring your feet back together while tensing your legs and leaning your body slightly forward. This bleeds off speed smoothly.

T-stop (to stop): Shift your weight onto your front leg. Move your other leg behind you and turn that foot perpendicular, forming a “T”. Press all four wheels of the back foot into the ground while keeping your weight forward — you’ll come to a controlled stop.

For the smoothest ride, stick to flat, paved ground, tiled areas, or wood floors — sidewalks and gym floors work great. Avoid gravel, grass, and wet or uneven surfaces, which can affect grip and control, especially while you're still learning.

Yes, this is common on a brand-new pair and it settles in quickly.

Some customers notice one shoe's mechanism is a little stiffer than the other right out of the box. This is normal — it usually loosens up after opening and closing the wheels a handful of times. If it's still stiff after that, or feels like it's catching, reach out to us and we'll help.

Yes — the maximum user weight is 220 lb (100 kg).

Yes. Turning the switch to the left or right locks the button, so it stops responding to presses. This prevents the wheels from deploying by accident while you walk.

We offer a 30-day return window from the date your order is delivered. To qualify, your sneakers must be unworn, unwashed, and in their original packaging.

When trying your sneakers for the first time (to check fit and comfort), please wear them indoors, on a clean floor only. If there’s any chance you’ll return or exchange them, don’t wear them outside — this keeps them free of dirt and scuffs. We can’t accept Liekick sneakers that have been worn outdoors, damaged, washed, or altered in any way.

We’re currently expanding direct exchanges to more regions. In the meantime, the fastest way to get a different size or style is to return your original order for a refund and place a new order for what you want.
