Sizing:
Skates should be snug. Recommendation is to order 1/2 to 1 full size smaller than shoe size
Q: How do I find my Bont size?
Please note that fitting a speed skate is not like fitting a running shoe. Speed skates need to be stiff to give you support and the
sides of the skates are made with carbon fiber. When you put your foot into a tight skate, the foot grows in length. Different
people’s feet will become longer than others depending on the composition of fat and muscles in your foot. As such, two people
with the same length feet may need different size boots. Bont's size chart is based on feedback from skaters that have told them
the maximum length foot that will fit in each size boot.
Q: Why are my sneakers 2 sizes bigger than my Bont Skates?
A: When Mr. Inze Bont first developed his last in 1975 he was a size 8. Over the years as sneeker manufacturers moved to Asia,
last sizes have shrunk. Mr. Bont is now a size 10... So the simple answer is that Bont's last sizes haven't changed for over 30
years where as your running shoe manufacturers lasts have changed.
