An in-line wheeled skate includes a boot, a chassis attached beneath the boot, a plurality of wheels mounted thereupon and arranged in tandem, and a toe stop. The toe stop is fixedly mounted at the front of the chassis and defines a toe stop surface having a first, upper portion positioned relative to a chassis axis for engagement with a travel surface during movement to brake or slow motion of a skater and a second, lower portion positioned relative to the chassis axis for engagement with a travel surface during movement to impart push-off motion to a skater.
