Hypno skates with quick release wheels enabling you to walk in the boots. I upgraded the wheels from 76mm to 82mm. These are discontinued except from here (USA) or maybe ebay. They're made in Italy. |

Rockville Nitro. A possible alternative to Hypno for a quick way to change from skating to walking and back again. More information from the website. |

I don't know if Salomon put this skate into production. The exterior skeleton boots fit over matching trainer shoes. Same idea as the two previous skates - quick change. Their website no longer shows any skates at all. |

An image-search on Google found this old clip-on skate, similar to the ones I had in the '50s. Mine were metal, not wood but were self-steering like these. Tilting to the side causes axles to adjust. |
|
This early attempt at inline skates looks risky because there's no ankle support. I remember my similarly designed early quad skates coming off my shoes and bashing my ankles - ouch! |
|
These seem to be inspired by American Land Roller skates with 2 large wheels mounted on the outside edge but tilted so they're underneath you. They're supposed to be good for rougher surfaces like gravel or grass. |

These are all-terrain skates with pneumatic tyres and a hand-operated brake. More information here |

The skates above could all be classed as recreational but these Bont ones are semi-race. |
