The Revolution of Custom Skates: Bont’s Pioneering Journey
In 1974, an innovative leap from Bont forever changed the skating landscape. This was the year when Bont introduced the world to custom boots, a concept that was not just novel but revolutionary. It began a new era in skate design and comfort, spearheaded by Mr. Inze Bont. His dedication and craftsmanship led him to develop these unique boots, setting a new standard in the skating world.
Interestingly, it took a year of diligent work and refinement before the first pair of Bont custom boots were sold in 1975. This patience and commitment to quality underscored the ethos of Bont, a characteristic that continues to define the company today.
Fast forward to the present, and Bont is a custom skate manufacturing leader. The company proudly produces more custom boots per week than all other custom skate makers combined. This is a testament to the popularity of Bont's products and the exceptional quality and craftsmanship that goes into each pair.
The boot makers are at the heart of Bont's custom boot success. Each custom boot maker at Bont has a minimum of 15 years of experience in the art of boot making, exclusively with Bont. This level of expertise ensures that every custom boot is crafted with unparalleled skill and precision, offering skaters the best in comfort, performance, and style.
From the inception of the custom boot to its current status as a staple in the skating community, Bont’s journey is a remarkable tale of innovation, dedication, and excellence.
