Title: Atomic Hawx Boot
Post by: kylepugh on November 30, 2007, 10:54:14 pm

Atomic has a new boot, the Hawx, which came out this year.  Does anyone have any knowledge or experince with this boot?  I am most tempted to buy it.

I have read good reviews but would like to hear your opinion(s).

Thanks.

I purchased a pair of the Hawx 110 and skied on them 6 days.? I think they really do as they claim .. get you onto the ball of your foot more easily which seemed to enlarge the ski's center zone.?

Unfortunately for me my foot is narrower than the shell is sized for.? So someone with a meatier foot than mine will be getting a sweet deal on a gently used size 27.?

Kind of reinforces the notion of getting a boot fitted at a place that specializes in that kind of work
