      Agreed. No one can compete with two pairs of the mix-n-match baller Bonts. Just gotta pick which foot gets opalescent w/ the red flap and which foot goes red w/the opalescent flap.

    You should wear one of each new colour way on each foot, reverse the colour for the left opposite for the right. This makes sense in my head but I’ve not articulated very well.

    Bont does such great work. I had their moldable inline skate. They help you pick the right size, and then you can do the final molding yourself or with an assistant. Or, if you want, you can make a mold of your feet and they can make custom shoes.
    Your shoes are excellent, Alex. Great choice of colors. Wishing you and Chanel and Julia all the best.

    I can, I tried them, I even tried the heatforming but they just wont work for me (and for a lot of people if I do some research online), the bathsoles (the carbon goes a bit up on the sides) just isn't comfortable for me (and for quite a few people).
    My toe just started to hurt after 20km's, I tried the heatforming but that's a gimmick at best, it doesn't do a whole lot if you don't have a special oven for fit!
