<p>An in-line roller skate (10, 200) that has a boot (20, 100, 120, 202) portion that includes flexible moveable connections (21B, 236, 236A) between a toe section (28, 132, 203) and a rear section (30, 34, 133, 232), to permit independent movement of the toe (28, 132, 203) and the rear (30, 34, 133, 232) sections relative to each other in response to loads on wheels (38 and 51; 121 and 124; 220 and 214) supported on such sections. The boot (20, 100, 120, 202) permits natural reaction and movement of the foot of a skater to cause and react movement of the wheels to provide better stability, better control and increase stride length. The selected boot sections (28, 132, 203) will deflect relative to adjacent sections (30, 34, 133, 232) when the wheels (38 and 51; 121 and 124; 220 and 214) are moved relative to each other.</p> |
