A braking control device for skates including a shoe having a toe portion at a forward location and a heel portion at a rearward location, and a pivoting quarter, and the shoe being connected with a chassis having a plurality of wheels at least one of which interacts with a brake device. The braking control device has structure allowing to transfer a braking force to the at least one wheel up to a presettable value, which is preferably close to the value required to lock the at least one wheel and beyond which an excess force is substantially not transferred to the at least one wheel. The brake device includes: a traction element connected at a first end to sliding trapezoidal elements which activate pivoting breaking bars engageable with wheel hubs, and the traction element being connected at a second end with a cylinder which is slidably accommodated in a seat provided at the rear of the shoe; and a pin protruding from the quarter of the shoe for engaging a disk which is slidingly seated in the cylinder and biased upwardly by a spring. Alternatively, the cylinder is slidingly accommodated in a seat formed in the quarter of the shoe.
