What Size Skates Should I Order?
Use the Bont Size Chart to find your fit. Please note there is no direct relationship between your shoe size and your Bont skate size — take the time to measure your feet carefully to get the right size.
How Do I Heat Mould My Bont Boots?
If your boots have a removable insole, remove it before heat moulding — insoles may burn or shrink during the process.

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 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.
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 the leader in custom skate manufacturing. The company produces more custom boots per week than all other custom skate makers combined. Each custom boot maker at Bont has a minimum of 15 years of experience in boot making, exclusively with Bont — ensuring every pair is crafted with unparalleled skill and precision.
