Heat Moldability:
The fiberglass in the boot is made hard by the use of a thermosetting epoxy resin. Resin development is something that we have been doing since 1975. Formulating a resin that is super stiff, yet becomes moldable at low temperatures and has a fast cure time is critical for our unique requirement which is why we are the only skate manufacturer who develops our own resins in-house.
Our resin becomes soft at just 60°C (140°F) which is the lowest in the industry. Once you heat the resin, mold the shoe and let it set, it is permanently set without the need to remold. You can also reheat the resin as many times as you like.
Light Weight:
Bont boots are manufactured by hand in a process where we build the boot from the inside out by hand laying the carbon of fiberglass around the last (plastic foot). This method of manufacturing is extremely time consuming compared to the traditional method of quad boot manufacturing which is done by gluing the upper to the pre made base. However, our method results in a much stronger and lighter structure.
Memory Foam:
The Hybrid is made with high density closed cell memory foam. This padding will not deform over time or retain water from sweat or wet surfaces.
Color Options:
The Hybrid boot is only available in black with white trim.
Anatomical Forefoot Shape:
Conventional quad skates offer a “dress shoe” type shaping. Although highly aesthetic this will cause the toes along with the metatarsals to be overly constricted, compressing the nerves between the metatarsals which often results in the common "hot foot" sensation.
Bont skates anatomical shaping allows the foot to function in its most efficient and anatomically correct position.
Anatomical Heel Cup:
The anatomical heel cup shaping of Bont quad skates provides increased stability and more power through your push. This stabilization is achieved without any mechanical operation or over tightening of straps/laces allowing for increased comfort and blood circulation. The heel cup is fully heat moldable in the oven.
Tracer Plate:
The Bont Tracer roller derby plate is the perfect plate for any skater. The chassis is crafted from extruded 6061 aircraft aluminum with one-piece cast trucks to make this plate strong and affordable. The 20-degree kingpin angle is great for making tight turns as well as top-end speed and stability. The plate will suit kids, boys, girls, women, and men of all abilities and ages. It can be used for indoor skating, outdoor skating, rink skating, and roller derby. This aluminum roller skate plate is an upgrade over a nylon skate plate. This plate is suitable for all types of roller skating, not just roller derby.
