The Bont Eclipse Boot: Good Fit Right Out of the Box

The Bont Eclipse boot was engineered to solve one of the greatest problems facing skaters: obtaining a perfectly fitting boot that does not need break-in time. The core of this boot is a fully redesigned last that duplicates the natural foot shape. This results in less side pressure, improved arch support, and a comfortable, secure fit around the heel and ankle.

Skaters who have attempted the Eclipse have consistently reported that it feels like it was custom-made on the first wear.

Key Features

Anatomical fit with a reengineered last that feels custom-made straight away

Lightweight, top-quality materials for comfort and performance

Narrow, sculpted cuff for a locked-in ankle feel and better control

New sizing system with 5mm steps for accurate online shopping

Sleek style choices: black, white, or holographic

Lightweight, Streamlined, and Fast

The Bont Eclipse is lighter than the Jet due to a stiffer resin system and less thermoplastic. Trimming the excess material without compromising a robust carbon base keeps the boot responsive under pressure without bogging you down.

While being slightly less heat-moldable than the Jet, the Eclipse still has a robust level of customization, maintaining its shape longer and allowing for greater energy transfer when skating.

Improved Cuff Fit

One of the key upgrades from the Jet is the new cuff design. Some skaters felt the Jet’s cuff was too wide and created gaps at the ankle. The Eclipse corrects this with a narrower, contoured design that wraps around the ankle bone for improved comfort and better control, particularly during corners and sprints.

Simpler, Smarter Sizing

The Bont Eclipse features an overhauled sizing system, abandoning Bont’s 50-year-old original sizing. The sizes rise in regular 5mm increments, making it simpler to locate a precise match. This contemporary method better enhances online shopping too, enabling skaters to easily find the ideal boot even when they fall between sizes.

Streamlined Colors and Express Delivery

The Bont Eclipse is available in black, white, or holographic, a carefully chosen palette that blends style and functionality. Reduced color choices mean improved factory stock and quicker shipping, and each color works well with the boot’s aggressive, race-orientated design.

Who Is the Eclipse For?

The Bont Eclipse inline speed skate is perfect for:

Serious beginners who want performance-level boots

Anyone seeking a responsive, lightweight boot with a contemporary look

Whether you’re stepping up from your first skate or upgrading for better comfort and performance, the Eclipse delivers elite-level performance at an accessible price.
