roller skates

Inline rink rentals

Roller skates are footwear with wheels attached to the sole, allowing the wearer to glide across smooth surfaces.

Traditional roller skates have four wheels arranged in a rectangular pattern, distinguishing them from inline skates.

The verb roller-skate means to move on such skates: We used to roller-skate at the rink every Saturday.

Also called quad skates.
