Introducing the BNT Inline Speed Skate Boot by Bont: A Fusion of Tradition and Innovation
The BNT is the epitome of Bont's craftsmanship in inline skate design. This custom-made boot embodies a classic style with clean, uncomplicated lines, reflecting Bont's dedication to simplicity and performance.
At the heart of the BNT is a base crafted from 100% carbon fiber, a hallmark of Bont's innovative approach to inline skate technology. This base is coupled with our renowned epoxy resin, heat-moldable for a perfect custom fit. The neoprene padding, a closed-cell foam, ensures no water absorption, keeping the boot lightweight and efficient.
Speaking of weight, the BNT is a marvel in this area. Stripped of bumpers, thermoplastics, and zippers, it's ultra-lightweight. Its carbon base sports a matte finish, a thoughtful deviation from the usual gloss finish found in most inline skates.
The outer skin of the BNT is crafted from premium Durolite, a material typically reserved for our high-end Bont Vaypor skates. Inside, the boot is lined with Suede-L, offering unparalleled comfort whether you're wearing socks or not.
Durability and reliability are key; hence, the BNT features aluminum mounting blocks with a hardened steel nut. At Bont, we pride ourselves on quality - we've never had a skate returned due to mounting block issues. Our foolproof system includes Loctite on the mounting screws to prevent loosening during races.
Comfort isn't overlooked. The boot's tongue boasts ventilation for cool feet and velcro for secure placement. The padding is designed to prevent lace bite, and the waxed laces have minimal stretch, maintaining tightness.
The BNT is built on a last with a tighter heel, ensuring a snug fit and a near-custom feel. This boot is tailored for professional racers; it's incredibly responsive but may not suit those seeking heavily padded skates.
Bont's legacy in skate innovation dates back to 1974, as the inventor of custom-made inline and roller skates. We produce more custom skates daily than all other makers combined. The custom-made BNT inline boot represents the pinnacle of this heritage.
Opting for a custom BNT means choosing the best-fitting boots you can ever have. Once you experience the difference, you'll never look back at stock boots. Our customization options are extensive, all included in the price.
Please note the custom boot-making process takes 8-12 weeks from when we receive your molds, which can take 2-3 weeks to reach us. The boot height is tailored to your ankle bone height, ensuring a perfect fit for every individual.

Q & A
Q: What is the difference between the Vaypor and the BNT?
A: The Bont Vaypor uses uni-directional carbon which is hand-laid and takes longer to apply to the base of the boot and makes the boot lighter and stronger. The BNT uses standard cross weave carbon. The BNT is tighter in the heel and uses 2mm neoprene padding whereas the Vaypor uses 4mm EVA padding. The result is that the BNT feels harder. The Vaypor is more aerodynamic. The Vaypor’s mounting blocks have a more flowing look where the block meets the boot whereas the BNT has a more upright look.
