Why Bont Boots Are the Most Comfortable on the Market

When it comes to skating, comfort isn’t just a luxury, it’s the foundation of performance. At Bont, comfort has been built into every pair of boots since our inception, and it all stems from our roots.

A Legacy of Fit Over Fashion

In the 1970s, our founder, Mr. Inze Bont, created his own custom last (the plastic foot mold used to build boots) based on his own foot. At the time, most brands relied on off-the-shelf lasts that were designed to make a boot look beautiful on the outside, not necessarily to feel great on the inside.

Bont took a different approach. Instead of prioritizing the outer shape, we focused on the internal fit and how the boot interacts with the skater’s foot. That philosophy remains unchanged today: performance and comfort always come first.

Small Details, Big Difference

When you put on a pair of Bont boots, you’ll notice subtle contours that match the natural shape of your foot. We even include small bumps in our lasts where your feet have small bumps. These tiny details add up to a massive difference in comfort, especially during long training sessions or races.

It’s why skaters who switch to Bont rarely go back. Every week, we receive messages from skaters who used other brands for years, only to be amazed at the comfort they discover when they finally try Bont.

Lightweight Comfort

Comfort isn’t just about fit, it’s also about weight. Our use of carbon fiber and fiberglass makes Bont boots among the lightest on the market. When you’re skating for hours, every gram matters. Lighter boots reduce fatigue, allowing you to focus on your technique rather than your sore feet.

Smarter Padding

We test every material we use, including our padding. Unlike many brands, Bont uses closed-cell padding in all boots. The advantage? It doesn’t absorb water. Whether it’s sweat or skating through puddles, your boots stay lighter, fresher, and more comfortable for longer.

Options for Every Foot

Every skater’s foot is different, and we embrace that. Most of our models are available in both wide and double-wide options, providing skaters with broader feet with the same level of comfort. For those who want the ultimate fit, our custom boots are crafted around an exact mold of your foot, delivering unmatched comfort and performance.

Comfort That Fuels Performance

With our racing heritage, Bont has always put performance above all else. However, the truth is that performance and comfort go hand in hand. When your boots fit like a second skin, when they’re light, dry, and shaped precisely to your feet, you skate better, longer, and faster.

That’s why Bont boots aren’t just the most comfortable boots you’ll ever try. They’re also the best performing.
