The Bont Quadstar Carbon roller derby skate boot has been upgraded to now include a carbon fiber base. This upgrade makes the boot stronger and lighter. The Quadstar is built on an anatomically shaped last based on laser scans of thousands of real feet. The boot is extremely responsive and lightweight, and it will improve your skating.
This boot uses modern advancements in boot technology, such as the use of carbon fiber, heat-moldable resins, and new layup techniques. It features 100% Genuine Australian leather outer skin that is extremely durable. Roller Derby can be hard on your roller derby skates, so we have made these skates out of extremely tough materials.
The boot includes replaceable rubber bumper toe protection, an adjustable velcro top strap, and a rear heel loop to put your laces through.

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.
