Absolutely Amazing

Posted by Ian on 30th Mar 2021

Have had these shoes on my Hudson single since I got the boat, and they are amazing. The adjustability and fit of the shoes is extremely specific and they are an extremely solid shoe when racing with them. I have a pair of PBR2s as well for erging with the Batlogic footplate and it allows for so much stability and maintaining feel when I'm on land. Absolutely love these shoes and they've held up great this far with only a few million meters under their belt!

My new BONT rowing shoes

Posted by Michael Tebrich on 26th Jan 2021

It's always exciting to get new technical equipment, whatever the sport. I ordered a pair of BONT PBR1 shoes which arrived last week. Having been in the ski and cycling industry for years, I was familiar with the BOA system and thought it made sense to have it as a part of my rowing shoes. The shoes are awesome. Besides the BOA, I also like the unique carbon fiber split sole which immediately is noticeable and a difference maker. The other details offered give exceptional support throughout the shoe along with an overall great fit. In my case, I already use the BaT quick release system and the combo was compatible with no issues. By the way, don't forget to purchase the Adjustable Heel Clips. Inexpensive, simple to install and very clean looking. Very happy with my purchase!!

IMPORTANT

Be advised all measurements shown in the size chart above are listed in millimetres and refer to all current models purchased after 2015.

NEW SIZING METHOD

To find your Bont Rowing shoe size, download and print our all-new sizing page in US Letter or A4 and follow the instructions exactly as listed. Mark with a straight edge your longest toe and widest part of your foot. Double check the length and width with a ruler to confirm your measurements. Be advised, this is a newly developed sizing page so please send any feedback to our team by clicking the red 'speech bubble' in the corner of the page.

ORIGINAL SIZE METHOD

To find your size, place a piece of paper on a flat surface and place it directly up against a wall.

Stand on the paper and ensure you have a 1mm gap between your heel and the wall.

Plant your foot firmly on the ground and slowly roll your weight forward onto your forefoot until it reaches an angle of approximately 45-degrees. This position mimics the angle at the catch in a boat. Look down and take the measurement from the wall edge of the paper to your longest toe. Record the length.

Use a ruler to measure the length for each foot. Take these measurements and input them into the sizing wizard or reference the Foot Length Range sizing on the size chart.

The Last Length measurements shown on the chart are the exact length of the last that we use to build the shoes. This correlates to the precise internal measurement of the shoe.

Keep in mind the length of a foot will extend slightly when at the catch. It is for this reason the foot measurement must be taken at its longest point with foot at 45-degree angle.
