By interposing between the roller-carrying frame of an in-line roller skate and a rigid plate positioned inside the shoe an insert of elastomeric material having lugs projecting upwards and passing through the sole of the shoe, vibrations and bumps caused by the running of the rollers on the ground are intercepted and damped.

An in-line skate with full access frame is provided which includes a skate boot with a sole portion, a two-piece frame secured to the boot sole and a plurality of wheels. The frame includes a first frame portion and a second frame portion cooperating to form a wheel channel when the second frame portion is in a first position adjacent to the first frame portion. The skate wheels are disposed for rotation within the wheel channel. Preferably, the first frame portion is securely connected to the boot sole with the second frame portion movably connected to the first frame portion. The second frame portion is movable from the first position adjacent to the first frame portion to a second position away from the first frame portion to allow access to the wheels. The second frame portion preferably includes at least one connector member sized to be received within a corresponding support cavity or slot in the first frame portion or the boot sole when the second frame portion is in the first position. The second frame portion may be pivotally connected to the first frame portion or boot sole so that the second frame portion is movable from the first position to the second position. Preferably, the frame includes a plurality of wheel shafts securely attached to the first frame portion.
