Good,I love it!
Description
Bont Skate Innersoles give skaters low-profile comfort without filling the boot with unnecessary padding. Made from heat-moldable EVA, their very thin design helps preserve ground feel and a direct connection between your foot and your skate. Choose the version for your boot type and enjoy comfort that complements the way you skate.
Key Product Points
- Very thin profile: Keeps your foot close to the boot for clear ground feel and a connected skating experience.
- Direct power transfer: Avoids the thick layer of compressible cushioning that can absorb part of your effort during a push.
- Comfort without excess bulk: Adds a comfortable layer underfoot while taking up minimal space inside a close-fitting skate boot.
- Heat-moldable EVA: Combines a moldable material with a low-profile design developed for skating.
- Two boot-specific options: Choose the Inline/Roller/Ice version or the ParkStar/Prostar/Quadstar version, supplied as a pair of two insoles.
Thin by Design, Connected by Feel
An insole sits at an important point in your skating setup: directly between your foot and your boot. Its thickness influences how much room you have inside the skate and how connected you feel when you move. A thick, soft insert may feel inviting when you first step into it, but that extra cushioning can change the response you want from a performance skate.
These insoles take a low-profile approach. The very thin EVA construction provides comfort while keeping unnecessary material out of the space beneath your foot. It is a practical choice for skaters who want their equipment to respond clearly during a push, a change of direction, or a controlled glide. The aim is a comfortable interface that allows you to stay connected to your skates.
Why Ground Feel Matters
Ground feel is the feedback you receive through your skates as you shift your weight and apply pressure. On wheels, it helps you sense your connection with the skating surface. On ice, that same principle is about feeling connected to your boot and blade. Although the equipment differs, both depend on a clear relationship between what your foot does and how the skate responds.
A thick layer of cushioning can dull that feedback. When there is more soft material between your foot and the boot, the sensation underfoot can become less direct. Bont's thin insole design helps preserve that connection, giving skaters who value ground feel an alternative to bulky inserts. It keeps the focus on feeling your skate as you load it, steer it, and push through it.
Make Your Push Feel More Direct
Less Cushioning to Compress
Every push begins with force generated by the skater. That force passes through the foot and boot before reaching the rest of the skate. Thick, compressible cushioning can absorb part of the effort as it deforms under pressure, creating a softer sensation between your foot and the equipment. For skating, more padding is not automatically an advantage.
The very thin profile of these insoles limits the amount of cushioning beneath your foot. This supports a more direct feel when you press into the boot, particularly if you prefer a close connection throughout your stride. The benefit is about the character of the response: less bulk underfoot and less of the soft, padded sensation that can separate you from your skate.
This makes the design relevant to inline speed skate setups, roller skating, ice skating, and roller derby. Whether you are building pressure through a longer push or making smaller adjustments in a turn, the insole should complement your foot's connection with the boot. A thin design keeps that relationship central to the way the skate feels.
Comfort That Respects Your Boot Fit
Keep Valuable Space Inside the Skate
A close-fitting skate boot has limited room to spare. Adding a thick insole can lift the foot and reduce the space available above it, changing a fit that was previously comfortable. If you like the way your boots hold your feet, the thickness of a replacement insole deserves the same attention as its length and shape.
Bont Skate Innersoles are thin so they do not take up too much space inside the boot. Their low-profile construction is useful when you want a comfortable surface beneath your foot while retaining the close-fitting character of your skates. It is a considered approach to comfort for a sport where fit, feedback, and response are closely connected.
Curved, Thin Edges
The edges are curved and thin to create a seamless transition between the insole and your boot liner. This detail matters because the insole needs to sit naturally within the boot, rather than feel like a separate, bulky insert. The transition around the edge is part of what makes the design appropriate for a close-fitting skate.
Comfort is about the complete fit, including the relationship between the insole, liner, and foot. The thin profile addresses space beneath the foot, while the curved edges address the transition around it. Together, these features offer a straightforward way to refresh the underfoot feel of your skates without choosing a heavily padded replacement.
Heat-Moldable EVA Construction
The insoles are made from heat-moldable EVA. This material is part of the product's combination of comfort and a thin profile. For skaters looking for replacement skate insoles, it provides a clear starting point: a moldable material in a shape and thickness intended to work inside skating footwear.
If you plan to heat mold the insoles, ask Bont for the procedure appropriate to your setup before applying heat. Follow the relevant guidance for the insoles and your particular boots. Choosing the correct type and size comes first; heat molding should not be used as a substitute for selecting an insole that matches the footwear.
Choose the Version for Your Boots
For Inline, Roller, and Ice Boots
Select the For Inline/Roller/Ice Boots option for the corresponding boot types. These thin skate insoles suit skaters who want a comfortable layer underfoot while retaining the direct feel of their equipment. Their low-profile design is particularly relevant when you already have a snug fit and do not want an unnecessarily thick replacement.
For ParkStar, Prostar, and Quadstar Boots
For these Bont boot models, choose the separate For ParkStar/Prostar/Quadstar Boots option. The product images show the two versions so you can identify the relevant shape before ordering. Selecting by boot type as well as size helps you choose the intended version for your setup.
Both versions are listed in sizes from 1 (185mm) to 13.5 (305mm). Use the size selector to review the individual options, and check your boot model before making your choice. If you are unsure which version or size you need, contact Bont with your boot details for guidance.
Check the Shape as Well as the Size
When comparing replacement insoles, look beyond the number on the size label. Check the boot-type selection and the product photograph together, then compare them with the insoles in your skates. The two versions on this page have different shapes, so choosing the appropriate model is an important part of getting the intended fit.
Take the same care with a replacement pair as you would with other parts of your skating setup. A suitable insole should work with the space and shape of your boot. If the selection is unclear, checking with Bont before ordering can help you make the right choice.
A Practical Replacement for Skaters
These insoles are sold as a pair of two, giving you a replacement for both skates. They are a useful choice when your existing insoles need replacing or when you want to return to a thin, skating-focused design after trying a bulkier insert. The central benefit remains simple: comfort with a close connection to your equipment.
For skaters who care about ground feel, boot space, and a direct push, insole thickness is a meaningful part of the setup. Choose your boot type and size above, and order a pair of Bont Skate Innersoles to bring a thin, comfortable layer to your skates.
