If you're after skates for aggressive inline skating click here.
Otherwise read on...

Hypno skates are very practical for commuting! They're very comfortable and are high-performance Italian designer footwear that are also detachable inline skates. Hypno skates instantly become walking shoes or ice skates (see below) in seconds, eliminating the need for carrying shoes while skating. More than just skates, the detachable wheel frame system (STS) provides "go-anywhere" mobility plus performance recreational skating. They are produced by the Italian based company MGM which is active in the skates and outdoor market with three well known brands including Fila Skates, Hypno and Trezeta. Unfortunately Hypno skates can be difficult to find in retail stores but you may find them available for purchase online on eBay.
N.B. No they are not those sneaker-skates with pop-out wheels: Hypno skates are real skates, not cheap children's toys. Hypno skates use industry-standard 76-80mm HYPER racing wheels, and ABEC3 or ABEC5 bearings.
