 Roces Heat Moulding and Sizing TipsThe Roces soft-side boots may be widened with the use of a hair dryer.Warm boots so they are flexible, but not hot. Put the skates on your foot, and wear the skates until cool. This may be done a total of three times to achieve maximum width.Ladies - to enlarge the calf area, warm top of boot with a hair dryer. Insert a wine bottle, neck end down, into the boot as far as possible to stretch top of boot.More tips: When trying on boots, flex your knees into a normal skating stance, as this will move the heel into the heel cup. If your ankles are pronated (roll to the inside), correcting this problem with an insert will change your shoe/skate size down one size.When trying on skates, tighten the laces and strap, as your inlines should fit VERY snug for optimum performance.

 Biomex ConstructionClick on images for detail.
The revolution of skating
After three years of cooperation between Roces and the biomechanical engineering team of the Clinic Gut based in St. Moritz; Switzerland we developed the skate of the Millenium: A skate which really moves with your body.
Biomex technology is the natural answer to the skater's demands.
NATURAL FLEXION OF OUR KNEE
In every spor t when we bend our knees, they naturally flex towards the inside. The natural axis is not perpendicular to the foot but slighty inclined towards the inside. That's where the Roces-Biomex technology comes to work, allowing both of our knees and ankle to flex in the right direction, allowing the most natural movement and supporting the stability of the ankle.
- During Inline skating there are high forces induced to the foot, therefore the ankle should be stabilized within the natural range of motion to achieve a better performance and to make inline-skating more enjoyable.
- The foot and leg are complicated. Lots of bones, muscles and ligaments work together when we skate.
CONSEQUENCES OF THE TRADITIONAL SKATE CONSTRUCTION:
- Traditional Skate Construction forces an unnatural movement.
- You waste a lot of the energy (which your body creates) in turning the plastic in the Natural "correct" direction.
- Therefore you transmit to the skate less energy then you create.
- You skate slower, with more fatigue and effort.
ROCES-BIOMEX SKATE CONSTRUCTION BENEFITS:
- Total power transmission to the skate/ground.
- Faster skating with less effort and less fatigue.
- It is SAFER because it is a Natural movement and it stabilizes the ankle within the natural axis of motion.

 CFS ConstructionClick on images for detail.
It's the construction technology that gives particular prominence to the soft part of the skate.
The structure's hard where it supports the foot and soft elsewhere for comfort.

 Cool BreathClick on images for detail.
It is not a simple ventilation system. The result of research and study of materials and technologies enable Roces to increase enormously the air flow inside a liner, keeping the foot cool and dry.
To reach such result, not only the material has been studied to be light and breathable but also the process of joining the various materials employ a technology preserving the original transpirability.

 Frame Adaptor CompatibleWhy a "frame adapter"? To lengthen the interaxle (given by the distance between the two holes where the frame is fixed to the shell) and to allow any skate with a 165mm interaxled frame (frequent situation) to mount a 4X90mm or 4X100mm alu extruded frame (that needs a 195mm interaxle).

|
 Heel LockClick on images for detail.
Roces idealy secures the heel with a special eyelet located between the shell and the liner.
Simply tightening the laces placed the heel securely in its correct position.
This improves both comfort and control.

 Shock Absorbing InsoleClick on image for detail.
A PU footbed located underneath the liner improves comfort.
In the fitness models it absorbs vibration and promotes powerful skating.
In the aggressive models it absorbs shock and softens the landing of big gaps.

 Zero ClearanceClick on image for detail.
Developed for racers, these axles reduce total component weight and allow quick and easy wheel changes.
Now more skaters can experience the benefit of top components.
