Question 1

Are Atomic ski boots narrow?

Accepted Answer

Atomic uses the terms Ultra, Prime and Magna do differentiate between the lasts (widths) on its narrow (low volume), medium (mid volume) and wide volume boots. Ultra boots are the narrowest, at at a stated lastof 98mm. Prime are the medium-width boots at a stated last of 100mm and Magna are the widest at (102mm). In short, Atomic Hawx Ultra boots are best for skiers with narrow feet, and Atomic Hawx Prime boots are best for skiers with medium-width feet.

,

Atomic ski boots come in all different shapes and sizes meaning some boots will be narrow like Low Volume (LV) boots that have a tapered width while High Volume (HV) boots will have a wider last. So the choice can be easily be made to pick between a narrow or wider boot.

Question 2

Are Atomic ski boots comfortable?

Accepted Answer

Atomic makes good ski boots in a range of intended uses, sizes and flex. The key to getting a comfortable fit in a boot is finding a ski boot in the right mondopoint (length) size, with the right "last" (width) and the right amount of flex for you as a skier. A good-fitting boot will be comfortable for a long day on the hill, whether it is made by Atomic, or another boot manufacturer.

,

Atomic ski boots are known for running true to size so they tend to be fairly comfortable and an easy fit right out of the box. Most Atomic boots also come with the option to choose less or more volume inside the boot, the options are Low Volume (LV), Medium Volume (MV) or High Volume (HV). The more room in the boot will mean more comfort.

Question 3

Do Atomic ski boots run true to size?

Accepted Answer

Atomic ski boots’ sizing is consistent with most other ski boot manufacturers. Ski boots use mondo point sizing, which converts to a measurement of the foot in millimeters, so their sizing tends to be more consistent than street shoes or hiking boots. Knowing the mondo point size and last width of a boot is a good start if you’re shopping online for a new pair of ski boots.

,

Atomic ski boots run true to their mondopoint size (e.g. 26.5, 27.5, etc.). which indicates the length in centimeters inside the boot Many Advanced and Expert skiers downsize their ski boots to get a tighter "performance" fit, and, generally speaking, it is good to have ski boots that fit snugly, but if it says 27.5 (or 275) there will be 27.5 cm of length for your feet.

,

Atomic ski boots usually run true to size, as do all ski boots. However, ski boots sizes will not correspond with tennis shoes sizes since ski boots need to be properly fitted for great performance on the mountain. Ski boot sizes come in mondo sizes ranging from about 22 to 32. A good boot fitter will ensure the ski boot is well fitted to perform right out the door.

Question 4

What is the difference between atomic hawx Prime and Ultra?

Accepted Answer

Atomic "Prime" an Atomic "Ultra" refer to different lasts (fancy ski boot talk for width) in Atomic ski boots. Atomic boots with the "Ultra" label are narrow-lasted boots (98mm at size 26.5). Atomic Prime boots are medium-lasted (100mm at 26.5). And if you have wider feet, your best bet will be Atomic "Magna" boots. (102mm at 26.5). In short, if you have narrow feet, Atomic Ultras are your best bet, and if you have medium-width feet, you should go with Atomic Primes.

,

The Atomic Hawx Prime and Atomic Hawx Ultra are different models of Atomic boots. These boots differ in their last and overall boot volume. Last is the term used to describe the shape of the inside of the boot and is categorized by width in millimeters (mm). Last for boot models is given for the reference size (US men's 8/8.5 which is 26.5 mondo and US women's 8/8.5 which is 25.5 mondo) A boot larger than the reference will have an incrementally wider last and a smaller boot will be narrower. The Atomic Hawx Ultra is a boot designed for a narrow and low volume foot. It is a 98mm last at the reference size. Low volume means a low instep and average to narrow calf. The Atomic Hawx Prime is the model designed for average width feet, 100mm last in the reference size, and average volume instep and calf. The third boot in this series is the Atomic Hawx Magna which is for wide (102mm last at the reference size) and high volume feet/calves. Each of these models comes in a range of flex values to accommodate skiers ranging from beginner to expert level. The Hawx Ultra is narrow and the Hawx Prime is average.

,

The Hawx has been Atomic's go-to All-Mountain boot for both men and women for nearly a decade, but it now comes in a Hawx Ultra and a Hawx Prime, which begs the question: what's the difference. The biggest difference between the two boots is volume. Many boots are defined by what is called their 'last', or the width of the toe box. The Hawx Ultra has a 98 mm last, which is a very narrow toebox designed for aggressive skiers looking for a high-performance feel, or for regular skiers with very narrow feet. The Hawx Prime, on the other hand, boasts a 100 mm last, which is a more comfortable fit for skiers with average size feet. On top of that, the Prime also has a higher ceiling over the instep and a flared boot top, allowing it to accommodate thicker calves and feet. So the main difference between the Atomic Hawx Prime and Ultra is performance versus comfort.
