inline skates

Boots with wheels

Inline skates are a type of roller skate with wheels arranged in a single line rather than in pairs side by side.

The design allows for faster skating and better maneuverability than traditional quad skates.

Inline skating became popular in the 1990s for recreation, fitness, and hockey training: She strapped on her inline skates and headed to the park.
