Abstract
A skate includes a rigid frame with a plurality of wheels and a skate boot coupled to the frame. The boot has a lower outer shell, an inner soft shoe and a vibration-dampening and shock-absorbing material bed at least partially interposed between the lower outer shell and the soft shoe. The lower outer shell has greater rigidity than the material bed and soft shoe and has greater flexibility than the rigid frame.
