A support assembly for attachment to a skating shoe includes a frame having two fastening brackets with openings through which connection members extending away from the sole plate of the skating shoe can extend and either a skate blade or at least three freely rotatable wheels attached to the frame. When the support assembly includes at least three wheels, they are attached to the frame such that each group of at least two wheels has an underlying tangent which extends outside each remaining wheel.
