Performance Skate for Speed and Jam Skaters
Designed to Move with You
The Bont Envy Suede is not just a great-looking skate. It's a purpose-built performance tool for elite roller speed and jam skaters who demand lightweight responsiveness, comfort, and top-tier components.
The carbon base boot is wrapped in black leather and black trim. The low-profile counter and carefully shaped arch area help lock your foot in place and maximize energy transfer without sacrificing mobility. The U-shape design hugs the heel and ankle, giving you that snug, secure fit elite skaters depend on.
All-Day Comfort, All-Out Power
Inside, the boot is heat moldable and shaped on a racing last. It molds to your foot like a glove, reducing pressure points and improving stability during crossovers, spins, and footwork. The lace cover system keeps everything sleek and snag-free, while the carbon counter and base deliver unmatched stiffness for instant response.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Envy Suede skate suitable for outdoor skating?
A: The components are performance-tuned for indoor speed and jam skating. For outdoor skating, we recommend using a softer outdoor-specific wheel.
Q: Can I heat mold the boot at home?
A: Yes. The Bont Envy boot is fully heat moldable. You can use a standard oven at low heat (follow the Bont molding guide) to achieve a custom fit. Always check the temperature carefully to avoid overheating.
Q: What is the difference between the Envy and other Bont speed skates?
A: The Envy Suede is a limited edition boot focused on style and elite-level performance. It shares performance traits with our top-end carbon boots but uses synthetic suede for added comfort and a unique look.
Manufacturing
Manufacturing skates by hand, inside out, is a method Bont retains and is exceptionally proud of. The manufacturing process is far more skill-intensive and time-consuming than other manufacturing processes. Perhaps, most importantly, this enables Bont skates to lead the industry in performance. It does, however, result in a higher production cost than mainstream skate construction methods.
We continue to develop and refine our manufacturing process to maintain the best delivery of our high-quality products. For example, processes such as the use of generic vacuum boxes for the curing of carbon have been replaced. Today, for carbon curing, we use methods such as pressure wrapping. Pressure wrapping provides four atmospheres of pressure rather than one atmosphere you find in traditional vacuum forming.
Inze Bont’s, the renowned skate designer, engineering, has allowed our production line to optimize the manufacturing of our handmade monocoque skates in the most time-efficient manner possible.
Our innovative manufacturing processes match our drive for design innovation. Lighter, Stronger, Faster.

Anti Stretch
Our proprietary Anti-Stretch material shares similar strength characteristics with Kevlar. We add this material between the outer layer and the skin, which assists prevent the boot from stretching.
To ensure the material does not move, we stitch it to the outer layer and bond it to the liner. In short, this Anti-Stretch material becomes a part of the boots’ structure. As a result, Bont boots do not stretch out as much as competitors’ boots.
