Bont Derby Patriot Black Boot The Bont Derby Patriot Boot is a radical departure from traditional derby boots. The boot is light weight thanks to the construction being comprised of fiberglass and carbon instead of traditional leather. By using modern materials, the boot can be made lighter, stronger, more responsive and heat mold-able. The boot has a 1/4 heal rise, protection around the toes, two Velcro straps, is higher cut than the speed and hybrid boots. This model is offered in 2 variations: The Derby Patriot Carbon and the Derby Patriot. Both models come standard with 1.5cm thick, super tough Australian cow hide outer skin and TPU bumpers to protect the front and side of the boot. The padding is a high density memory foam. The Derby Patriot comes with a light weight microfiber liner that we use in our racing boots and a fiberglass base. The Derby Patriot Carbon has a suede-lining that is extremely soft and it has a carbon base.
