A training roller skate has rollers or wheels and wheel mounts, at least one wheel mount being movable, preferably in a direction transverse to the wheel axis, to permit contact between a wheel associated surface and a motion inhibitor that inhibits rotary motion of the wheel. The skate has a front shoe part defining a forward platform portion to support a skater's foot and further defining a toe cap support with which a separately formed toe cap is snap-fittedly attached to permit toe caps of alternative shapes and forms to be selectively attached to the toe cap support. The forward platform portion may have an attached brake pad of frictional material that is engageable by a roller, the brake pad being provided integrally with a projection frictionally to engage the ground when the platform is tilted. At least one of the wheels or rollers has an associated surface provided with at least one projection or recess, and a main body of the skate is provided with at least one projection or recess, and a main body of the skate is provided with at least one recess or projection dimensioned for mating engagement with the surface projection or recess, the wheel mount being movable selectively to effect such mating engagement, to inhibit both forward skating and rearward skating and out of such mating engagement, to permit skating in at least the forward direction. The roller skate may further include a forward carriage and a rearward carriage, with a length adjustment connection between them.
