Light – Warm – Fits Perfectly!

Who is not on the look out for the perfect ski boot? One has a pressure point there, the other model has a pressure point on the other side, the third one is not warm enough and the other one does not match your outfit. ;) Ok, the last one, you should really ignore when it comes to buying a ski boot. You do not have to win a beauty contest, the shoe simply has to fit you perfectly, otherwise you won’t have any fun on the slopes.

I have found my dream boot model, which of course I do not want to keep from you. Soooo – the new model, the “ATOMIC HAWX PRIME“. And why? I did a lot of research and read many test reports and then I came across the ATOMIC boot (mine is 100m wide and thereby a medium wide fitting) and was immediately won over.

Light – Warm – Fits Perfectly!

LIGHT: Do you know why the toilets are always in the cellar in a ski hut? No? I also do not know the answer, but the way to the toilets, is not always easy. ;) But seriously.....the heavier the ski boot, then the harder each step is to take when you do not have your skis on. So, for me, a ski boot has to be light. I weighed my ski boot – my ATOMIC HAWX PRIME weigh just 1765g.

WARM: Do you have cold toes when skiing? I have been used to this since I was a child. And the harder the ski boot, the “colder“ your feet were. I have tried out my new ski boots a few times now and my toes are nice and cosy. The insulation is really great and I always have warm feet. :)

PERFECT FIT: Every girls dream: perfectly fitting shoes! :) Unfortunately, this rarely is the case. But I have found a solution. My ski boots can be directly fitted to my feet and this can be done very quickly. The inner shoe is heated in the “Boot Fit Station“ (that is an extra oven for ski boots). After five minutes the inner shoe was taken out of the oven and I had to wear it for a few minutes and stand quite still. This is how my new ski boot would fit exactly to my feet.

Afterwards there is a cooling pack, in which the inner shoe is wrapped in, so that it can harden. And voilà, I have a perfectly fitting boot, which has been formed completely to my feet. This should also be invented for high heels! :)
