Usage:

• Roller skates are used for recreational activities, fitness, roller derby, artistic roller skating, and even as a mode of transportation for some.
• Roller rinks, parks, and designated skating areas are popular places for roller skating.

Braking System:

• Many roller skates come with a braking system. The most common type is a toe stop, a rubber brake located at the front of one or both skates.
• Inline skates (rollerblades) typically have a heel brake.

Indoor and Outdoor Use:

• Roller skates are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, depending on the type of wheels they have. Outdoor wheels are often softer and provide better grip on uneven surfaces.
