Bonts appear to be aimed more towards the skatepark/dance/derby crowd than wobbly newbs like me. The main difference I noticed is they don’t have the Cuban heel like everything else I tried. Look like they start at around £350 though and not widely stocked over here so you gotta get measured up and order from the supplier. They just happened to have a pair in my size on the shelf. I have no idea if it’s the same Bont as the cycling shoes but I assumed so. Fairly sure it was these I tried or v similar.

The Cuban heel in figure skating I believe provides better balance, which probably means better for a host of tricks.
I have hockey skates they have a slight incline, I wear them like I’m off piste skiing, heels down which is probably a mistake given that I am not a pro.. less control, weight distribution I think should be in the proximity to balls of your feet.
Your skates are a great choice.

Great post and review.
I’ve not seen Bont skates. I have a pair bont cycling shoes which have heat moulding in step, I assume same for Bont skates.
Your purchase look ace. I’ve not been out skating since October, hope to get along to Newham Leisure Centre for indoor sessions with Sammee
