Comfort and performance, from first sessions to race day
The Jet is designed for skaters who want a capable racing boot without giving up everyday comfort. Whether you are learning speed-skating technique, training regularly, or competing, the connection between your foot and your boot matters. A supportive base and a well-matched fit give you a dependable starting point as you develop your skating.
Bont describes the Jet as the world's most popular inline speed skate, with more than 1.4 million pairs sold since its introduction. It is trusted by coaches and parents worldwide and has been the starting point for countless world champions. That history reflects its role as a practical choice for a wide range of skaters, rather than a boot reserved for one stage of development.
The Jet is suitable for men, women, boys, and girls when correctly sized. It balances performance, comfort, and value, while Bont's premium models offer additional lightness and strength. If you are choosing your first dedicated inline racing boot or replacing a familiar pair, the Jet offers a clear, established place to start.
A carbon composite base built around the foot
Hand-laid carbon fiber and fiberglass
The base combines carbon fiber and fiberglass, hand-laid around the memory foam to produce a lightweight, strong structure. This is a carbon composite boot, not a claim that every part of the boot is carbon fiber. The composite foundation works with the padding, liner, and upper as a complete fit system.
For an inline speed skate, the base is an important part of the connection between the foot and the frame. The Jet uses its composite construction to provide support without unnecessary bulk. Its shape follows the boot's last, helping the structure and the fit work together rather than treating them as separate features.
A last refined over more than 40 years
The Jet is built around a last that Mr. Inze Bont has modified and improved for more than 40 years. A last is the form used to shape a boot, so it influences the fit before any individual heat molding takes place. That long development history is part of the Jet's foundation.
Choosing the right size still comes first. A heat-moldable boot offers useful adjustment, but it is not a substitute for checking your measurements. Use the Bont sizing guide and the size-guide button on this page rather than assuming your usual shoe size will give the right result.
A fit you can personalize
Fully heat-moldable construction
The Jet's base is fully heat moldable using epoxy thermoset resin. Bont describes its resin as the most heat moldable in the industry and the Jet as its easiest speed skate to heat mold. This adjustability is a central reason for the boot's appeal to skaters with different foot shapes and levels of experience.
Heat molding allows the fit to be refined around the foot. The aim is a close, supportive feel, not simply a tighter boot. Follow Bont's heat-molding instructions in the Heat Molding section below, and seek fitting advice if you are unsure about the process. Use the specified method rather than improvising temperatures or heating times.
Memory foam and a thermo-moldable innersole
Soft memory foam provides padding within the boot, while the microfiber liner forms the interior surface. The EVA innersole is also thermo-moldable. Together, these components support the Jet's balance of comfort and a close fit, complementing the adjustable composite base.
Fit is personal, so take time to assess the boot before skating. Check the heel, forefoot, and ankle areas, and ask Bont for guidance if you need help choosing a size or refining the fit. A careful fitting process is especially useful when moving from a different boot model or buying a first speed skate.
Secure closure and lasting shape
Anti-stretch tapes and microfiber
The Jet incorporates anti-stretch tapes to prevent the boot from stretching over time. Retaining the intended shape helps preserve the fit you established when the boots were new. This construction detail is particularly relevant in a racing boot, where a close connection to the foot is part of the overall setup.
Microfiber is used for both the outer skin and the liner. The boot is vegan, giving skaters a non-leather option without changing its focus on speed-skating performance. The materials, padding, and reinforcing tapes are chosen as parts of the same boot construction, not as cosmetic additions.
Micro-adjustable buckle and lace cover
Laces work with a micro-adjustable buckle to let you refine the closure. The lace cover gives the front of the boot a clean, organized finish. Adjust the closure for secure support while paying attention to comfort, rather than relying on extra tension to compensate for a size that does not suit your foot.
The Jet's low-cut speed-skating profile is visible across the color range. The same practical details remain central to the design, including the buckle, lacing, and shaped composite shell. Choose the appearance you prefer while keeping fit and frame compatibility at the center of your decision.
Details for regular skating
Air vents at the top of the toes and on the tongue provide ventilation openings in the upper. A front rubber bumper protects the toe area, and the boot has a specified pitch of 12mm. These are useful details to consider alongside the base construction and fit when comparing inline speed skate boots.
The five listed colorways are White/Black, Matte Red, Black/Red, Shiny Gold, and Fluoro Yellow/Black. Availability varies by size and market, so use the selector for the current choices. Color does not replace the need to confirm the correct size or the mounting requirements for your frame.
Plan your 195mm setup
This model has 195mm mount separation. If you are reusing a frame, check its mounting specification before ordering. Frame length and wheel configuration are separate considerations, so confirm the complete setup rather than assuming that every inline frame will fit this boot.
Select Boot Only when you are purchasing the boots for your own compatible setup. The Package selector displays the components currently offered for a package, with the relevant price adjustments. Review those selections before adding the product to your cart; the boot photographs do not imply that frames, wheels, or bearings are included with Boot Only.
Availability and delivery estimates
Warehouse stock may vary. If the boots are not available at the warehouse but are in stock at the factory, the stated shipping estimate is approximately 2 to 3 weeks. If factory production is required, the stated production estimate is approximately 4 to 6 weeks. Confirm availability when ordering, especially if you need the boots for a particular event.
