At Avanta Boot Labs, we believe every skater deserves a boot that disappears beneath them—allowing their movement, not their gear, to take center stage. We are a team of makers, skaters, and technicians united by a shared mission: to build boots that blend world-class performance with uncompromising comfort.

 

Charles Sinek, 2002 U.S. Olympic ice dancer, set out to raise the bar for what skaters should expect from their equipment. Unsatisfied with what was available, he brought together a team to rethink the skate boot from the inside out—prioritizing support, precision, and feel on the ice at every level. With his deep familiarity with elite-level skating, Charles brings a unique perspective: the boots we build are held to the same standard he once held for himself.

 

Will Murillo, a protégé of the iconic Klingbeil legacy, has spent over three decades crafting custom boots trusted by Olympic athletes and national champions. His technical expertise and hands-on experience make him one of the most respected bootmakers working today.

 

While Charles and Will anchor the work, Avanta is powered by a wider team committed to thoughtful design and craftsmanship that supports every step, spin, and glide.
