Abstract
Roller skate with improved fit which includes a first front body for supporting and securing the front part of the foot and a second rear body for supporting and securing at least the heel. These bodies are rotatably associated with each other, and each body is provided with a supporting frame for at least one wheel. The articulation between the first body and the second body allows easier skating in improved comfort conditions.

A roller skate comprising:
- a front body for surrounding at least a user's toe region;
- a rear body for surrounding at least a user's heel region;
- a front wheel supporting frame rigidly connected to said front body and rotatably supporting at least one front wheel;
- and
- a rear wheel supporting frame rigidly connected to said rear body and rotatably supporting at least one rear wheel;
- wherein said front wheel supporting frame is a separate element from said rear wheel supporting frame;
- and
- wherein said front body and said rear body are pivotally connected together by a pivotal connection such that in use said at least one front wheel maintains contact with a wheel supporting surface while said rear body pivots with respect to said front body raising said at least one rear wheel out of contact with respect to the wheel supporting surface.
