How To Heat Mold Your Bont Inline Speed Skates

Bont manufactures the most heat moldable boots available in the market. Bont's proprietary resin possesses exceptional stiffness but becomes pliable at relatively low temperatures. However, you do not need to heat mold them if they fit you out of the box.

Firstly, remove the wheels, frame, and mounting boots from your Bont boots. If your insoles are removable, take them out as well. Additionally, if you have waxed or shimmer laces, it's advisable to remove them.

Pre-heat your oven to 85°C/185°F. It is highly recommended to use an external thermometer to ensure accuracy, as some oven thermostats may be unreliable.

Once the oven reaches the desired temperature, place your Bont boots inside for approximately 15-20 minutes. Please note that exceeding higher temperatures than recommended will not only void your warranty but also potentially damage your boots.

After 15 minutes, check if the boots are ready by gently squeezing the back of the boot. If the resin has become soft, your boots are ready for molding. However, if they are not yet pliable, put them back into the oven and continue heating until the carbon softens. Remember to check the boots every 5 minutes to avoid overheating.

Caution: Do not place your feet in the hot boots as you may burn your feet.

Allow the boots to cool down slightly, and check the temperature with your hand to ensure it is safe to handle.

Next, tighten the straps and buckles of your boots, and stand in them with your knees slightly bent.

Do not lift your heels off the ground or walk in the boots when they are hot. The carbon material is not designed to withstand these actions while heated, as it may lead to cracks or damage.

Allow approximately 5-10 minutes for the boots to cool on your feet, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.

If you have any lumps or bunions on your feet or areas causing discomfort while the boot is still warm, you can use the round end of a blunt object to press out any part of the boot.

Congratulations! Your heat molding is now complete. Remember, you can heat mold the boots as many times as you like.
