A skate (10) for receiving a foot of a skater includes a frame (14) holding in-line wheels (16). A rigid base (18) is securely attached to the frame (14). An external heel counter (20) extends upwardly from the base around the heel portion of the skate. An upper (12) having an outer shell of substantially soft pliable material extends upwardly from the base (18). A substantially rigid internal heel counter (34) is disposed beneath the outer shell. The internal heel counter (34) extends around the heel area of the skate (10) above the top of said external heel counter (20). A substantially rigid ankle support cuff (36) is pivotally coupled to the internal heel counter (34) and disposed beneath the outer shell.
