My kids wrote to Father Christmas requesting a pair of these trainers with wheels (like roller skates but the wheels slot into the trainers and can be clicked in or out).

Unfortunately Father Christmas can not find anywhere that sells them (although I have seen them so they do exist).

Can anyone help?

If got kids into skateboarding they may aslo like soap shoes - have hard plastic part and can use to grind.

Heelys are the best. See if you can find someone coming back from the states. Thats where my kids got theres - can`t remember ow much, but remember thinking how cheap they were.

Those do look cool

I noticed something on www.shiner.co.uk though..

You can buy a set of these shoes for £69 and they have one wheel in each shoe, or you can buy special ones that have two wheels in each shoe, which are apparently easier to use...and £15 a pair cheaper!

Another case of 'less is more'.
