Technology - Foam Padding

Most skate boots are made with sponge foam padding. It’s light, it’s cheap and it doesn't crush down. But what it does do is absorb water when it gets wet. So, if your feet sweat, you skate through a puddle or if it starts raining, your boots start absorbing the water and start to weigh you down. This type of foam is known in the industry as open cell foam, because the cells are porous. The foam used in making a Bont boot is a high quality closed cell memory foam which does not absorb water. Therefore, you do not need to worry about your boot absorbing water while you skate.
