Bont Skates Online Shop Reviews

I don't even know where to begin because the way these wheels feel is almost impossible to put into words, but I'll give it a go. First and foremost, the Bont FXX Volume 11 63x42mm 96A Wheels are hands down the BEST wheels I've ever owned or skated on, and I highly recommend them to anyone interested in them. The Bont FXX Volume 11 63x42mm 96A wheels have an absolutely AMAZING feel! Like all new wheels, they were a bit slick out of the box and it took about 5-hours of hard skating to get the...

Love these skates! I have large/wide-ish feet and I heard that Bont boots are more spacious for flappers like mine. I was not disappointed! I took measurements as directed for the Parkstars and ended up with a size 8. For reference, my feet are 27cm long and ~11cm wide with plush socks on. I’m a beginner and it’s been great learning how to skate with such a high-quality product. The suede is a beautifully textured and comfortable, unlike some vinyl boots I tried initially from another brand. Th...

This is the Shizz Nitz of bearing presses. I have another bearing press from another competitor that is a wanna be. I could not press bearings into 70 mm wheels; it was sloppy and clunky. It only had a 7 mm alignment rod. It worked, and that was about it. After the delivery of the Bont Bearing Press, it was like the sun coming up... It's stable, very well-made, and serviceable. When you get yours, you'll find that it is so nice that you will make excuses to clean your bearings or swap this set o...

These are great skates. I bought them to be my primary outdoor trail/recreational skates and as an upgrade from the beginner pair I own. I'm getting used to the shorter heel, but I can tell these skates are quality. They fit exceptionally well (I followed the sizing chart and got my perfect fit), I was concerned since I have a wide foot. They are definitely a faster skate. The materials are durable and the patterns/colors are stylish. The stock toe stops are surprisingly good for outdoors. The p...

I am very very happy I found Bont skates. I tried one other brand, Chaya, before I found these, and had to return them. One thing that really stood out was the shape of their boot, and that it was really based on a human foot shape. This was a big difference from the other one I tried, which did not fit my foot at all. That shape did not have a place for a big toe at all. The size based on Bont calculator, and confirmed by customer service fit perfectly. I was worried that it was going to be wa...

These boots are way comfier than I expected them to be! Rigid for sure, but still incredibly comfortable. I luckily was able to get the correct size on my first try! The measurement chart was absolutely essential to getting the right fit. The color is vibrant and looks absolutely beautiful, even better in the sunlight than in pictures. Starting roller derby has been a breeze with these. More than enough ankle support, as I do prefer a shorter cut, but still rigid enough to feel nice and secure. ...

My favorite wheels and top pick ever for indoor skating. If you haven't got a set of these,make sure that you do! Will try to emphasize my entire summary based on my skating as an aging skater and personal background/experience in order to validate being as informative as I can be to recommend these wheels on a personal person to person(citizen to citizen)basis. I usually don't review things publicly much but I have to say a lot about these amazing wheels. First I will sum this up by saying am...

After heat molding my boot, nothing seemed to work for the stubborn inside ankle bone… until I found RIP JAWS! This was a complete life saver! Easy to use, I used my blow dryer to warm up my boot a bit, then used the tool! It made the “perfect indent” right where I needed it! I will not go without it! Greatest tool ever! Thank you for saving my skates that were about to go over my balcony! 😂❤️ On a good note I will be participating in the Bont Marathon in Sarasota in Oct 2024! See you soon! Than...

Brand new skater and really happy with purchasing the parkstar skates as my first pair! When the skates first arrived, it took me like 10 minutes to fit my feet into them but it's gotten a lot easier since breaking them in more. Since I'm a new skater, I can't compare these skates to a taller heeled skate, but I haven't found these to be unstable at all which was initially one of my concerns. Make sure to refer to the size chart, I'm a women's size 12 and a bont size 9.5 for comparison. Thanks e...

I’m new to skating, but let me say what a huge DIFFERENCE having your own skates that custom fit your feet vs borrowed skates makes in your skating! The customer service for this company is amazing, also. Let me just say that the blades may arrive before the boot when you order them together - this is ok. I reached out and customer service reminded me of this and they also followed my order until it was delivered. I think that is awesome! I will be purchasing from them again, and I have very hig...

I wasn't planning to buy this frame because I was quite happy with my Powerslide aluminum 3X 13.0/3x125 frame, which was substantially better than my previous Atom Striker Mark II frame. Bont had a limited time offer for Supercell 2.0 carbon frames just after I received my new full custom Vaypors, and so I went for it. I am glad I did. After ~5 skating sessions on my new skates, I concluded that the Supercell 2.0 is every bit as good as Powerslide's 3X in terms of power transfer & control, but i...
