Your best bet is to check out the "skate shop" at the Petite Ice Center in Milwaukee. I do know that they have a small selection of Bont boots.
Quite honestly, I would just buy your Bont boots online. There is a much bigger selection and you can sometimes find skates/boots on sale, etc. In my mind,
the only reason you would need a "skate shop" is to help you with sizing (let you try on the boots) and piece of mind. In the US, there are several
reputable Bont dealers that are very pleasant to deal with. You will not go wrong with Adams Inline (www.adamsinline.com). If you have any trouble at all, he will let you return the boots. Just as an FYI, measuring the length
of your foot (before ordering) is the best thing you could do before buying a Bont boot (if you have no experience with Bont). To give you an idea on sizing,
I wear a size 10.5 street shoe, and I purchase a size 40/7.5 in Bont. Good luck...

I grew up about 30 minutes north of the Pettit ice center, but it didn't exist back then!
My advice: Take a weekend and drive up to Adam's Inline in MN. You can try on lot of boots and they'll do custom heat molding for you in the shop. Perfect fit and good heat molding (or customs) are the most important thing in speed skates. You won't regret it! Spencer |

Adam's Inline is a great source for Bont equipment. I just want to dispel some rumors out there that I've heard out there - that I am
no longer selling Bont equipment. This information isn't true...I do continue to sell the complete Bont line of skates and equipment. So does Debbie
Rice. Debbie has actually taken over a lot of my old responsibilities for Bont, but we are both still retailers, so please feel free to contact either of
us...

Skate Express in Watertown, WI, sells Bont, and does heat molding, etc. It's a rink, so you can try boots while there (if you inline), then make
adjustments. 920-206-0129. It's about an hour west of Milwaukee.
