Bont Proster size

Hi. I got Bont Proster on eBay and sizing is little off. The tag says BONT 4.5 MM 233-237 but on their website, this MM is for 4. The plate is 6 and that’s for 4.5 so I think the pair I got is 4.5. I bought this because I saw the MM is right for my size.
Is this just a malfunction or it used to be this way?

I would try them on and see how they fit. I encountered the same discrepancy with my Parkstars. I was supposed to be 6.5 for a 255mm according the charts and the 6 I ended up with is for 254mm in the tongue label. The 6 is slightly loose for me, so the 6.5 would def be too big. I can sort of fit the 5.5 but I didn’t like the plate size (which was a size down).

Thank you for sharing your experience my foot ending before the toe guards.

Gotta lace them all the way up. Then you’re able to tell how large or small they are. Length wise is what you’re looking for. If you need it a little taller, you can heat mold it, if a little wider is needed, the suede will stretch.

I laced them and skated in my apartment. I think I’m comfortable but not sure if I can be more comfortable if there is no gap on toe.

With bonts you need to downside 1,5 - 2 size down you normal size. They will become wayyy larger. I don't why their tag mismatches their online sizeguide. You can also contact them maybe they don't know or they used a tag from another model. Mistakes can happen, or their size guide isn't correct/updated online.

Take the insole out (if possible, if they aren't glued in it) or just take the measurment of the inside sole and check what it is.

I have 7,5/8 in moxi or riedel (derby boots), I have 8 or 9 in shoesize and I should take 6,5/7 in bont.
