Designed for Fit, Built for Performance

The Eclipse boot is designed to solve one of the biggest challenges skaters face: finding a boot that fits well right out of the box. At the core of this new model is a completely re-engineered last that better matches the shape of a real foot. That means less pressure on the sides of your foot, better support under the arch, and a snug, secure fit around the heel and ankle.

Skaters who’ve tested the Eclipse often say the same thing: it feels like a custom boot from the first time you put it on.

Key Product Points

  • Anatomical fit with an all-new last that feels custom right out of the box
  • Lightweight construction with premium materials for performance and comfort
  • Redesigned narrow cuff for a secure ankle fit and improved control
  • Modern sizing system with 5mm increments for better fit and online shopping
  • Available in black, white, or holographic for sleek, standout style

Lightweight, Streamlined, and Fast

The Eclipse weights less than the Jet, thanks in part to a more rigid resin system and reduced thermoplastic. By trimming excess material while maintaining a strong carbon base, we’ve created a boot that stays responsive under pressure but won’t weigh you down over long distances.

While it’s less heat moldable than the Jet, it still offers a solid degree of custom fitting. Just not as soft or forgiving during the mold as the Jet. The benefit? It holds its shape longer and offers better energy transfer.

Improved Cuff Fit

One of the key changes from the Jet to the Eclipse is the redesigned cuff. On the Jet, some skaters found that the cuff was too wide, creating a gap around the ankle. The Eclipse addresses this with a narrower, more sculpted shape that wraps securely around your ankle bone, enhancing both comfort and control when cornering and sprinting.

A Smarter, Simpler Sizing System

The Jet used Bont’s original sizing, developed more than 50 years ago. It worked, but it wasn’t ideal for modern shopping, especially online. The Eclipse introduces a completely updated sizing system that aligns more closely with athletic shoe sizes.

Sizes now increase in consistent 5mm increments, which makes for a more precise and predictable fit. This also means more sizing options will be available to help you dial in the right boot size, especially if you're in between standard sizes.

Streamlined Color Options, Faster Delivery

With the Eclipse, we’ve narrowed the color choices to just three: black, white, and holographic. This change helps us stock more boots at the factory, making it easier and faster to ship out your order. It also reflects a more modern aesthetic, clean, bold, and high-performance.

Each colorway was carefully chosen to complement the lines of the boot, giving it a sleek, aggressive look that matches its race-ready performance.

Who Is the Eclipse For?

The Eclipse is ideal for skaters who are entering the sport with serious intent, as well as competitive-level skaters who want a high-performance boot without going all the way to a fully custom build. It’s for skaters who want:

  • A great fit from day one
  • Lightweight performance and high responsiveness
  • A clean, modern design that looks and feels fast
  • A better sizing experience for easier shopping

Whether you’re moving up from your first skate or looking for a lighter, better-fitting upgrade from your current boots, the Eclipse delivers elite performance at an accessible price point.

The Bont Difference

Bont has been building high-performance skate boots since 1975. Every model we create starts with a focus on foot shape and fit, because comfort and control start at the foundation. With the Eclipse, we’ve applied everything we’ve learned from decades of bootmaking and feedback from thousands of skaters worldwide.

This isn’t just a new model. It’s the next step in the evolution of how a speed skating boot should fit, perform, and look.

    In-House Resin Technology

    In-House Resin Technology

    Bont has been developing our own resin systems since 1975. Unlike most manufacturers, we create our resins in-house to meet the specific needs of performance skating boots.

    Our resin is extremely stiff for power transfer, yet softens at just 60°C (140°F), the lowest heat-molding temperature in the industry. This allows the boot to be reheated and remolded multiple times for a precise, custom fit.

    Epoxy resin is a thermosetting polymer that requires a precise balance of resin and hardener. Temperature and humidity affect how it cures, so we use a computer-controlled mixing system to ensure the perfect ratio every time.

    Most brands use pre-preg carbon, where the carbon manufacturer selects the resin and the boot maker cannot modify it. This limits heat moldability and often requires very high temperatures for even minor adjustments.

    By developing our own resin, we control stiffness, flexibility, cure speed and heat-molding performance, giving skaters a boot that is strong, responsive and easy to customize.

    Lightweight Design

    Lightweight Design

    Bont boots are built to be lighter and stronger than traditional skate boots. We achieve this by hand-building each boot from the inside out, laying carbon or fiberglass directly around the last. This method takes significantly more time than conventional construction, but it creates a lighter, more responsive boot without sacrificing strength.

    Liner Materials

    Liner Materials

    Bont boots use a range of premium liner materials chosen from hundreds of tested options. All of our liners are lightweight, durable and designed to resist sweat breakdown and odor. 

    Available Liner Materials

    • Microfiber – Light, strong, fights odor and resists sweat damage.
    • Suede-L – Soft, durable and vegan friendly, with strong odor and sweat resistance.
    • Durolite – Extremely durable and lightweight, able to handle minor crashes without scratching. Vegan friendly.

    All liner materials used in Bont boots meet our standards for comfort, longevity and performance.

    Boot Last Design

    Boot Last Design

    A last is the foot-shaped mold that a boot is built around. The accuracy of the last determines how well a skate fits.

    Bont has been refining our lasts since 1975, and we continue to improve them to ensure our boots fit comfortably straight out of the box. Unlike many brands that rely on generic lasts, we develop and update our own designs to achieve a precise, performance-focused fit.

     

    Last Design

    Footbed Design

    Footbed Design
    Made in-house from heat-moldable EVA, the Bont footbed is the first layer added to the last when building a boot. It is designed to be extremely lightweight while still providing support and shape. To maintain its heat-moldable properties, the footbed is made at 65A hardness and only 3 mm thick.

    Foam Padding

    Foam Padding

    Most skate boots use sponge-style open cell foam. It is light and inexpensive, but the porous structure absorbs water from sweat, rain or puddles, which makes the boot heavier over time.

    Bont uses high-quality closed cell memory foam instead. This type of foam does not absorb water, so your boots stay light, responsive and consistent no matter the conditions.

    Foam Padding

    Anti-Stretch Reinforcement

    Anti-Stretch Reinforcement

    Our proprietary Anti-Stretch material has strength characteristics similar to Kevlar. It is placed between the outer layer and the boot’s internal skin to help prevent unwanted stretching.

    To keep this layer stable, we stitch it to the outer and bond it to the liner, making it a permanent part of the boot’s structure. This construction helps Bont boots hold their shape and resist stretching far better than many competitor boots.

    Anti Stretch

    Carbon Fiber

    Carbon Fiber

    Carbon fiber (or carbon fibre, depending on US or UK spelling) is an advanced composite material known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. It is as strong as steel while weighing only a fraction as much.

    Carbon fiber is made from bonded carbon atoms aligned along the length of each fiber. Thousands of these fibers are twisted into a yarn, which is then woven into fabric. This fabric forms the carbon sheets used in high-performance products.

    Bont has been producing carbon-based boots since 1989. We source our carbon exclusively from Toray in Japan, the world leader in carbon fiber manufacturing.

    Carbon Fiber 3K PLAIN

    Types of Carbon We Use

    3K PLAIN

    A tightly woven carbon commonly used in the aircraft industry and throughout Bont boots. Strong, reliable, and ideal for structural applications.

     

    Carbon Fiber Unidirectional

    UNIDIRECTIONAL

    Extremely stiff, lightweight carbon with fibers running in a single direction. This lets us place the carbon exactly where strength and support are needed. Used in our highest-performance boots, such as the Vaypor.

     

    Carbon Fiber 12K PLAIN

    12K PLAIN

    A larger weave that is more economical but not as strong as 3K. It reduces cost while maintaining adequate performance in less demanding applications.

     

    INDUSTRY MISREPRESENTATION

    Modern composites can be confusing, and not every product marketed as “carbon” contains true carbon fiber construction. Here are common examples of misleading terminology in the industry:

    Single-Layer Carbon
    Some boots have a plastic, nylon or fiberglass base covered with only one cosmetic layer of carbon. Although they can legally say “carbon base,” the structure underneath is not full carbon.

    Unidirectional Carbon (Misused)
    Some brands add carbon particles into plastic and call it “unidirectional carbon.” True UD carbon refers to continuous fibers all running in the same direction, not carbon-filled plastic.

    Silver Fiberglass
    A plastic base with carbon particles is often wrapped with silver fiberglass, then marketed as “carbon fiber.” Real carbon fiber fabric is always black.

    100% Composite
    A vague term that can mean almost anything. In most cases, it refers to a nylon–fiberglass composite, not a full carbon construction.

    Monocoque (Misused)
    A true monocoque boot has carbon laminated directly onto the liner, forming a one-piece shell. Some brands use the term incorrectly for shells with an integrated heel cup.

    In Summary

    Carbon terminology can be misused, so it helps to understand what you are buying. Bont uses genuine carbon fiber from Toray and builds boots with transparent, proven construction methods. Knowing the differences ensures you get the performance, strength, and value you expect from a true carbon boot.

    Upper Construction

    Upper Construction

    The upper is the lightweight outer section of the boot. It is glued and stitched to the base for strength and durability. Ventilation holes are punched by hand through both the upper and the liner, and the buckles and straps are attached to secure your foot firmly in place.

    Each boot then goes through sixteen independent quality control checks before it is approved. This process helps us maintain one of the best strength-to-weight ratios on the market.

    Heat Moldable Fit

    Heat Moldable Fit

    Bont boots are the most heat-moldable boots on the market. Our proprietary resin is extremely stiff for performance, yet becomes pliable at low temperatures, allowing the boot to be shaped safely and easily.

    Unlike many skates that can only be molded in small areas, Bont boots are moldable across the entire base. This gives skaters the ability to fine-tune the fit of the whole boot for a truly customized feel and a more anatomically accurate shape.

    Lace Cover

    Lace Cover

    Many Bont boot models include a lace cover, which provides added support and keeps your laces neatly tucked away for a clean, secure fit.

    Lace Cover

    Micro Adjustable Buckle

    Micro Adjustable Buckle

    The micro-adjustable buckle gives you an extra level of precision when tightening your boot. It is easy to use while skating, allowing you to bend down and make quick adjustments for a secure fit, even mid-race if needed.

    Micro Adjustable Buckle

    Lace Eyelets

    Lace Eyelets

    Bont eyelets use a larger head to spread lace pressure over a wider area, reducing discomfort on the top of the foot. Smaller eyelets concentrate pressure in one spot, which can cause pain during longer skating sessions.
