MyBonts Slipstream
The Slipstream is a pure racing boot built for elite competitors who demand precision, stiffness, and uncompromising performance. Every element has been refined from the ground up, delivering a race-ready fit and response that feels closer to a custom boot than any stock model before it. Designed for athletes chasing speed and control at the highest level, the Slipstream combines cutting-edge materials with 50 years of innovation in skate engineering.
Key Features
-New power ridges along the base and sides increase rigidity and enhance carbon stiffness for superior power transfer
-Upgraded epoxy resin delivers 40% more stiffness than the BNT, resulting in sharper responsiveness and longer-lasting performance
-All-new anatomical last provides a fit that feels almost custom, even before molding
-Aluminium mounting blocks with gold-anodized holes maintain strength while reducing weight
-Ventilated tongue with Velcro, waxed laces, and a new buckle design for comfort, airflow, and secure foot lockdown
Every pair is made to order, allowing you to customize boot materials, colors, stiffness, fit, padding, liner, and much more through the MyBonts custom builder.
Built by hand with your specifications in mind, the MyBonts Slipstream takes approximately 6–8 weeks to complete, with faster production between June and December.
Get ready for the Slipstream. Fifty years in the making.
New and Enhanced Features:
-New power ridges along the base and up the sides increase rigidity and carbon stiffness for enhanced power transfer
-Upgraded epoxy resin is 40% stiffer than the BNT’s, delivering sharper responsiveness and longer-lasting performance with less deformation (but slightly less moldable)
-All-new last delivers a fit that feels more like a custom boot than any stock model we've ever produced
-Refined custom sanding process for tighter, more precise fitting, especially in custom orders
-Premium outer skin available only in black or white for an elite finish
-Anti-stretch lace cover with a notch to hold your knot and keep lace tension locked in
-New buckle design for better foot lockdown and security
-Silver-thread carbon weave adds a sleek, high-performance visual edge
-Aluminium mounting blocks with gold-colored anodized holes, a new construction method that keeps weight low without compromising performance
-Ventilated tongue with Velcro to hold it in place, offering cooling airflow and padded comfort to prevent lace bite
-Waxed laces with minimal stretch for better tension retention and foot stability
Every detail has been considered, every component re-engineered — the Slipstream is built for serious competitors who demand the best.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Manufacturing Process
Bont is one of the few skate brands that still handcrafts boots using an inside-out manufacturing method. This approach is far more skill-intensive and time-consuming than mainstream production, but it allows us to create boots with the performance, strength and responsiveness skaters expect. While it increases production costs, it delivers a lighter and more precise final product.
We continually refine our processes to maintain the highest quality. For example, traditional vacuum curing for carbon has been replaced with pressure wrapping, which applies four atmospheres of pressure instead of one. This produces a more consistent and durable carbon layup.
Inze Bont’s engineering innovations have helped optimize our production line so we can build handmade monocoque boots efficiently without compromising craftsmanship.
Our manufacturing methods reflect our performance philosophy: lighter, stronger and faster.
