The 2009/2010 model is identical to the 2011/12 model except that this boot uses Sensefit Overlap for forefoot tightening - see picture below.   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.
	:: Micro adjustable ratcheting strap on the upper cuff for precise control and comfort   :: Waterproof lace cover over neoprene sock provides warmth and protection from the elements   :: 17mm RS provides efficient power at the end the skate push off
	Support: :: External adjustable heel strap (locks down heel and adjusts forward flex)   :: Carbon heel counter (ultimate support and control)   :: Carbon (lower) and Nylon (upper) cuff for lateral and rear control and comfort   :: Internal heel foam liner for anatomical fit
	Sole: :: 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   ** The white plastic cuff is the Sensefit Overlap system used in the 2009/2010 model

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.
