A boot that attaches to skate chasses for ice skating, roller skating, in-line rollerblade skating, and Nordic skating is disclosed. When disengaged from a chassis assembly, the boot functions as normal footwear for hiking/cycling/leisure activities. To attach to a chassis, a wearer a foot into a boot and then presses the boot into its chassis, engaging a click-in mechanism. Once the mechanism clicks into place, the boot is removably secured to the chassis.

A skate includes an inverted groove-shaped base secured to a boot and including front and rear pins; an elongated frame including front and rear sets of a transverse inner groove and a transverse open groove communicating with the transverse inner groove, and a threaded hole on the transverse open groove of the front set wherein either pin is disposed in the transverse inner groove and the elongated frame abuts an underside of the base; and a locking device including a spring biased block member disposed in the transverse open groove of the front set and having two projections at two ends respectively, a screw driven through a positioning member into the threaded hole to fasten the positioning member in the transverse open groove of the front set so that the block member abuts the front pin to block same in an assembled state.

Provided is a heeling apparatus. The heeling apparatus includes a sole including a forefoot portion and a heel portion. The heel portion has an opening formed therein. In one embodiment, the sole includes a removable portion. The heeling apparatus further includes a wheel assembly including wheel rotatably mounted to an axle and a mounting structure, wherein the wheel extends through the opening in the heel portion.

A functional shoe includes a sole, a functional part to provide a specific function to the functional shoe, a fixing part provided to fix the functional part; and a coupling part provided to be coupled to the fixing part, and directly or indirectly coupled to the sole, at an opposite side to a side coupled to the fixing part. The fixing part includes a fixing body provided to be coupled to the functional part, and a leg member formed to extend from the fixing body in a reference direction which is a direction facing the sole from the fixing body. The coupling part includes an insertion slot provided inside the coupling part to be open in a direction opposite to the reference direction such that the leg member is inserted into the insertion slot.

A ground-engaging devices that is capable of sustained rolling, stable braking, secure standing, and walking. In one preferred embodiment, the invention relates to a wheeled footwear device. In another preferred embodiment, the invention relates to a wheeled footwear platform. In yet another preferred embodiment, the invention relates to a wheeled artificial foot.

Roller-skates/sneakers with two pairs of separable wheels, by which the problem of their alternative adjusting for walking or roller-skating is solved, and which are at the same time safe, maneuverable, practical and simple to manufacture. The roller-skates consist of sneakers, which are laced with laces, an insole and two pairs of wheels separably fixed in the insole. The insole, which follows the shape of the foot and contains the front and rear axle and forms the load-bearing construction, is built into the lower part of the sneaker inside the sole. The wheel consists out of the middle plate lined with silicone rubber, an interchangeable mask, two bearings on the rims of central hollow part of the wheel, as well as two washers made of steel with two lids on the side of the wheel facing the sneaker.

In another preferred embodiment, the invention relates to a wheeled footwear platform. In yet another preferred embodiment, the invention relates to a wheeled artificial foot.

An athletic shoe configured for use in sports such as but not limited to floor hockey wherein the shoe of the present invention is operable to provide a rolling lateral movement for the wearer. The shoe of the present invention includes an upper bound to the sole wherein the sole includes sidewalls and a bottom surface. Formed in the bottom surface of the sole is the roller assembly. The roller assembly includes a cavity being defined by four walls. The cavity has a wheel member mounted therein on an axle that is mounted between the front wall and rear wall of the cavity. The mounting of the axle provides the lateral rolling motion. The wheel member is movable between a first position and a second position. In the second position a portion of the wheel member extends beyond the bottom surface of the sole.

A skate includes an inverted groove-shaped base secured to a boot and including front and rear pins; an elongated frame including front and rear sets of a transverse inner groove and a transverse open groove communicating with the transverse inner groove, and a threaded hole on the transverse open groove of the front set wherein either pin is disposed in the transverse inner groove and the elongated frame abuts an underside of the base; and a locking device including a spring biased block member disposed in the transverse open groove of the front set and having two projections at two ends respectively, a screw driven through a positioning member into the threaded hole to fasten the positioning member in the transverse open groove of the front set so that the block member abuts the front pin to block same in an assembled state.

Functional shoes include a sole, a coupling member including a coupling body detachably coupled to the sole; an auxiliary lever coupled to the coupling body so as to be rotatable toward a bottom surface of the sole; and a fixing part protruding from the auxiliary lever toward the bottom surface of the sole and is detachably coupled to the sole, and at least one functional member provided integrally with the coupling body or detachably coupled to the coupling body to provide a predetermined function to the shoes. The fixing part moves between a coupling position in which the fixing part is coupled to the sole and a separation position in which the fixing part is separated from the sole, by a rotation of the auxiliary lever.
