Bont Roller Skates

Choose Roller Skates for Your Skating Style

Start with where and how you plan to skate. Park, roller derby, speed, outdoor, recreational, and junior skating place different demands on the boot, plate, wheels, bearings, and toe stops.

Park skaters should consider support, plate durability, wheel choice, and compatibility with their preferred park setup. Roller derby skaters usually prioritize a secure fit, lateral control, plate response, and suitable wheel grip. Outdoor and recreational skaters may place more emphasis on comfort, stability, and wheels designed for the skating surface.

Complete Packages and Custom Setups

A complete roller skate package provides a convenient starting point with the main components included. A custom setup allows you to select the boot, plate, wheels, bearings, and toe stops individually.

Before changing components, confirm the plate mounting, axle size, bearing size, wheel dimensions, and toe-stop compatibility. Product specifications vary, even when components appear similar.

Fit and Sizing

Measure both feet in millimetres, and use the larger measurement when the feet differ. Compare your measurements with the product-specific sizing guidance before ordering.

The boot should secure the heel and midfoot without painful pressure. Try new skates indoors before heat molding, mounting replacement plates, or skating in them.
