The Bont Eclipse Boots are designed for fit and built for performance. Made to feel great right out of the box, Bont has re-engineered their popular racing boot with an updated anatomical last that better matches the shape of a real foot. This new fit improves arch support while providing a snug, secure fit in the heel and ankle with less pressure along the sides of the foot.
A lightweight construction built from premium carbon composite and stiff resin emphasizes performance and comfort, weighing less than previous Bont models. The strong carbon base stays responsive under pressure without adding unnecessary weight, delivering high energy return with every stride. The boot's composition also allows skaters to heat mold them for a personalized fit while still maintaining the boot's shape longer over time. Micro adjustable buckles and standard lacing allow for secure lockdown and easy adjustments.
An updated cuff design provides a narrow, sculpted shape for a secure ankle wrap that increases comfort and control when cornering and sprinting. Bont's updated sizing for the Eclipse boots increases in consistent 5mm increments, allowing for more precise fitting options. Standard 195mm speed skate mounting allows for compatibility with most modern frames. Whether you're new to speed skating, or a seasoned competitor, the Bont Eclipse is a step into the future of speed skating.
