An in-line roller skate (21) incorporat- ing a soft, breathable upper (22) and ex- oskeletal support structure is disclosed. The skate includes multiple in-line wheels (35) se- cured to a frame (31). The frame is attached to a base (39). In one disclosed embodi- ment the frame is integrally molded with the base. In another embodiment, the frame is adjustably attached and may be moved both laterally and longitudinally with respect to the base. A hook-and-peg (237, 238) alignment means for accurately securing the frame to the base is also provided. A toecap (24) and heel counter (41) project upwardly from the base and help support the upper. A cuff (23) is pivotally attached to the heel counter and includes a strap (228) for tightening the cuff around the leg of the skater. A speed control device (33) is also disclosed that includes a friction plate (61) to contact the wheels in re- sponse to movement of a lever (59).
