In the search for good skates, one president factor is comfort. With comfort comes confidence and with confidence in your skates comes progress. I've searched for countless months for the right skates for me. Recommendations always say Riedell, Edeia, and others that are well known in the skate community, but for me those didn't work for my wide feet. I chose the route of "barefoot shoes" for healthy feet, but with that comes, wider than the current norm, feet. So when i came across Bont skates they sounded good, and I gave it a try. These skates fit just like my barefoot shoes and give my toes room to splay and relax comfortably. I now have more confidence in every stride and skate move I make. These will be my forever skates. If you have wide feet, definitely give them a try. I'm almost guaranteed you'll like them.

I purchased these skates as a gift and they absolutely loved them. Skates and fits really well. These skates conform to your feet. Very nice color and wells. Will definitely buy more.

I absolutely love Bont skates. I am in my late 50s and this is my 3rd pair. Not because something is wrong with them, it's because I love them so much. I love the fit, the quality and the overall looks of them. Thw wheels are great. Great ankle support.Please measure your feet as suggested, in order to get the correct size. They are a great value and will last forever if you treat them right.

I have quite a few pair of skates and had wanted to try these for a while. I finally scored a pair in my size from Amazon warehouse in “very good” condition. Bont sizing is VERY different so it’s super important to measure your feet and use the size chart. I measure 3 sizes smaller than my street shoe size. Normally I would not have heat molded them and let them break in naturally. But because I have a nerve in my foot that gets triggered by pressure and causes severe swelling and pain, I decided to heat mold these with my blow dryer. It was so easy and fun. The entire base and counters soften and you can shape them exactly how you want them. I was able to make room for my sensitive area and also tighten up my heel area. They are now absolutely perfect and fit like a glove. The wheelbase on the tracer plate is a little longer than I’m used to but I’m adjusting well to it. The hidden heel is high enough that it feels similar to an art boot and not once have I felt like I was going to fall backward like I normally do with a flat skate. I definitely recommend these to someone who is looking to park or trail skate. Super comfortable and the boot is made well. It will definitely hold up to abuse. Very happy with my purchase.

I really like these skates. They are comfortable and supportive.I don’t particularly love the color/design of the wheels but they do work great.I am not so sure about Bont Customer Service though. I emailed them with a pre-purchase question and they never replied to my email.

Love these. Skating was my favorite childhood hobby; decades later I’ve started to enjoy it again.I did a lot of research before purchasing. I ended up buying Moxi Lollys, Reidell Crews & these to compare. I decided on these. The Lollys were cute and very comfortable (I especially loved the lined tongue & the gummy wheels), but they were $60 more. Plus, I thought the Bonts felt more supportive and I liked feeling lower to the ground in the Bonts. The Reidells were just uncomfortable.I plan to skate mostly outdoors, so will probably reorder from the manufacturer’s website where I can specify 78A wheels. These ship with the Street Flow wheels which are, I think, 89A. Otherwise they’re perfect for me!I will say that I needed to size down a full 2/2.5 sizes! I wear a women’s 7.5-8 shoe, but have a somewhat narrow foot. I originally ordered the 6 based on Bont’s size chart. The heels fit well, but my feet were swimming in the toe box. The 5.5 is very snug in the heel, but I think heat molding will help with that. Overall, the 5.5 fit much better.I should add that I worried I might not like these based on looks alone. People rave about how they love the look, but the photos I saw did not appeal to me at all. Luckily, I found them to be much cuter on! So, if aesthetics are the only thing holding you back, I’d say give them a try!

These are so comfy! They feel very different than my Suregrip and my Ridells and my Candi Girl skates. Definitely easier to go fast and do simple spins and to get around in. My Suregrips are so my favorite for drills and learning things like grapevine and the downtown but I'm learning how to maneuver in these almost the same. They are so so comfortable and worth every penny. Love!!
