Overview
Bont ParkStar Pastel Skates are a fresh take on the ParkStar that offers versatility in the parks and streets, wherever your skating takes you. The ParkStar Boot is the same innovative design that offers a snug fit and excellent response, now with pastel suede uppers. The fully heat moldable base allows each skater to customize the fit at home without worrying about bothersome break-in. A strong aluminum Tracer Plate sits underneath, with 57mm Glide Wheels that are nice and soft for outdoor use. ABEC 5 Bearings and an adjustable toe stop (with locking screw!) round out the components on this stylish and fun skate package.

Previous Feedback
Comments: I just tried these for the first time. One and one half hours on the rink floor. They are a half size too larger (because COVID availability) but with the way your heel locks in place, I have no foot shifting. The ball of my foot doesn't ache from a too tight toe box, my big toe didn't go numb due to a pointy toe box. Parkstar's fit the shape of my bare feet. I am totally a convert. I thoroughly understand the gushing Bont reviews I've seen and read. I tried a couple of tricky moves once I felt comfortable with the set up. If this is how they feel now, they will be slippers once they break in. I went with the softest cushion, changed the wheels and toe stops (to my familiar setup), and plan to add in a squishy liner/insert for long skate days. Women's street shoe 9.5B, Bont 7 (should be 6.5W) Now to test their longevity.
