A roller skate including a frame provided to receive a plurality of wheels; a sole adapted to support the user's shod foot; a heel stiffener; a foot retaining arrangement, capable of being in an open state, which enables insertion of the user's foot and, in a closed state, enables adjustment of the foot retaining arrangement around the user's foot, the foot retaining arrangement including: a forefoot anchoring, an instep anchoring, the forefoot and instep anchorings each having a pivot zone about which the foot retaining arrangement pivots when it is moved between the open and closed states; a forefoot fastening device, an instep fastening device adapted to keep the retaining arrangement in the closed state; and an adjustment mechanism enabling adjustment of the retaining arrangement to the morphology of the user's foot.

Roller skate

A method of assembling a boot to the chassis of a sports article and a boot/chassis assembly so assembled. The boot includes a rigid outer sole and an upper that is at least partially flexible and the method includes mounting the flexible upper on an inner assembly sole by means of a first assembly arrangement, thus forming a first sub-assembly; obtaining a second flexible upper/outer sole sub-assembly by assembling the elements via a second assembly arrangement; obtaining the assembly of the second sub-assembly on the chassis by means of a third assembly arrangement located between the assembly sole and the chassis.

Method for assembling boot components to a chassis of a sports article

A boot of the type that includes a low upper equipped with a rigid heel reinforcement and a rigid collar journalled on the reinforcement of the upper, in the area of the upper end thereof, the collar being equipped internally with a lining. The lining has an extension, extending downwardly within the upper up to the level of the base thereof. Advantageously, the extension is detachably connected to the upper and it is at least partially elastic.
