 Mr. Inze Bont first started making custom boots in the backyard of his Sydney
house in 1974 after struggling to find a boot that would fit his wide feet. He's
pioneered the field of custom boot making and has remained the #1 custom boot
builder in the world ever since.
Each week, Bont custom makes up to 200 pairs of boots. The boots today are still
made using the same basic principles that Inze invented in 1974.
How do I order a custom Bont Boot?
First you need to have a cast made of your feet, these are then sent to the Bont
factory, professionally prepared by Mr Inze Bont, so they can be used as the
last to produce your speed boots.
Bont will accept any form of mold to make your boots, but remember that
the finished product can only be as good as the mold you provide.
There are 3 commonly available molding options.
- Laser scanning - this is the ultimate in providing the perfect
fit for your foot. Bont's custom laser scanning is an extrmely quick
and easy way to make a mold of your feet. The four lasers and eight
cameras take just eight seconds to make a precise 3D digital model
of each foot. We then email your feet scans to the Bont factory
where we use advanced software to manipulate your feet to make a
tight fit. We then use a last making prototype machine to replicate
your feet before hand making the boot around your last. This option
is only currently available in Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide. To
arrange an appointment contact a Bont retailer.
- Plaster Cast - If you are able to make it to our shop in Melbourne, we can produce a plaster
cast of your feet using our Alginate casting boxes, this is a very accurate
method of preparing your casts.
- Bont Molding SoxTM mold of your feet - You can use Bont Molding Sox to produce your own casts following the
comprehensive instructions supplied with the socks. These can be ordered through
your closest Bont retailer.
When you have a mold of your feet you are happy with, simply contact
your Bont retailer who will arrange for them to be sent to us
with a completed custom order form.

How long will it take to make my boots
It usually takes Bont 6 - 8 weeks to make your boots. That is 6 - 8 weeks from
the time they receive a suitable mold and all the boot specifications. Please
allow time for the molds to be shipped to China and time for the completed boots
to shipped back to us in Australia.
