FIELD: sports equipment. SUBSTANCE: roller mounted shoe has at least one front roller and at least one rear roller. Front and rear rollers are disposed for movement between first ground engaging position and second raised position. Front and rear rollers are interconnected by at least one flexible connecting link extending through sole for simultaneous movement of front and rear rollers and drawn by drawing member connected with flexible connecting link. Shoe sole is provided with slots for receiving at least two flexible connecting links, of which first link connects front and rear rollers and second link is drawn to move front and rear rollers from one position, from two positions (ground engaging position and raised position) to other position. Construction of shoe does not require employment of known link mechanisms and allows roller-type skates to be used for skating as well as for walking without fatigue. EFFECT: increased efficiency, wider operational capabilities and simplified construction. 10 cl, 5 dwg
