A shaft extending in the skating directions is supported by stanchions depending from a boot plate. Spherical wheels formed by hemispherical segments are rotatably secured to the shaft in fixed axial position by a ring member having wing axles extending transversely the shaft axis, the ring member being rotatable about bearing members secured to the shaft. One Of the bearing members has a braking cam with a pair of oppositely positioned recesses which mate with a corresponding braking detent mechanism mounted in each wing axle. Each wheel segment is independently rotatably secured to a wing axle for rotation in the skating directions. The wing axles rotate with the wheels about the shaft in response to a stopping action transverse to the skating directions to provide a braking resistance in response to the detent mechanism riding against the cam surface. Different spring loads and springs are provided to allow for different skating stroke and stopping forces.
