A proven winner, the Atomic World Cup Skate Boot is an amazingly comfortable and powerful skate skiing boot. This is the boot that Bill Demong, Johnny Spillane and Todd Lodwick wore during their gold and silver performances at the 2010 Olympics. The Atomic World Cup Skate boot is loaded with features, but what you will notice right out of the gate is this boot's lightweight, comfort, control and power.  Enhance your skiing with the 17mm recess front, the carbon plate and buttressing wings of the sole, and the external  heel strap.

	Powerful Sole Design: :: SNS Pilot 3 Carbon Sole for direct transmission of power to the ski   :: Buttressing wings for stability   :: 17mm recess at toe pivot for better glide and more efficient power
	Fit & Construction: :: Seamless bonded construction for protection from the elements   :: 102mm last - fits average width feet (size: D) extremely well and has a roomy toe box for wider feet   :: Quicklace over a neoprene internal sock for precise fit and control

The pivot point (binding toe attachment), is set 6mm further behind the boot tip at 17mm to provide optimum control and power. This is the feature you will notice first when you strap on your skis in terms of feel/control over the ski. The other feature that immediately comes into play is the buttressing wings which brings the entire width of your foot directly over  the ski, increasing stability and power.

The heel foam liner and heel strap allow a variety of heel widths to comfortably fit in this boot.  This boot is extremely comfortable, and stays comfortable over long ski and training sessions.

A UK8.5 boot weighs in at 633 grams or 22.3 ounces, which gives this boot a nice lightweight feel without a loss of power or a compromise in material.
