2 different versions
the ST version had 10mm blocks and thicker bolts than the inline version that had 6mm blocks and inline hardware. alx |

Am I ok to use the inline boot for ST? or is it advisable not to?

An inline boot is lower and less stiff than a ST boot. Because you'll be constantly doing crossovers for ST, it's normally best to get a boot with
more support than an inline boot. The other factor is...your inline boot has to have 6.5" seps to fit an ice blade.

Thanks Glen, my son's Bont Jet ST is getting a little tight and he has a zx5 inline boot that is 1/2 a size bigger. We may have to use the zx5 in a pinch
as his foot is growing over the summer but we will get a bigger ST boot once the ST season starts.
