The Bont ParkStar Roller Skates are high-level aggressive quad skates featuring a stiff but comfortable boot that is made with fiberglass, suede, and microfiber. Using all of Bont's innovation and technology, these skates are made strong so you can skate with confidence and packed with technologies to improve the fit, feel, and performance of the skates.
The ParkStar Boot has a fiberglass base, around which the suede leather uppers are attached. On the inside, a vegan-friendly microfiber called Suede-L mimics the soft, plush feeling of the traditional suede on the outside. Between these two layers, Kevlar is used to strengthen the boot and prevent stretching, while memory foam padding further improves the comfort and support you feel on the inside.
Like all Bont skate boots, the ParkStar uses an anatomical last that is designed to feel good right out of the box but is heat-moldable if you want to fine tune its fit at any point. There is a 23mm heel lift built into the heel that promotes a forward-leaning, aggressive stance that is excellent for park skating, especially leaning and dropping into ramps or bowls.
Accompanying the boot in this excellent park skate package is Bont's 20-degree Tracer Derby Plate, which can be further unlocked for park skating using aftermarket components like Bont Grind Trucks and Bont Slide Blocks. The wheels are Bont Flow Wheels, the 99A park variety designed for fast roll and quick response in skate parks. All in all, this Bont ParkStar Park Roller Skate package is an excellent choice for anyone considering park skating or needing to upgrade into something that offers more performance. With a quick and easy wheel change, it can also make an excellent outdoor cruiser and recreational skate!
