Abstract
Improved skate including a shoe composed of a shell with which a frame for two or more mutually parallel or aligned wheels is associated. In this skate, a first half-quarter is articulated to the shell and is in turn connected to a braking element. A second half-quarter is furthermore associated with the first half-quarter, and its position with respect to the first half-quarter is adjustable. The skate thus allows both optimum activation of the braking element and quick and easy variation of the support of the leg, for example according to the sport practiced.
