Description:
The Atomic Hawx 110 ski boot uses ground-breaking i-Flex boot technology that allows the feet to behave naturally and works to improve balance and increase edge power transmission. The elastic i-Flex zone unlocks your foot from the rigid position most ski boots place your feet in and returns your natural balance point forward under the metatarsals or joints of your forefoot which is the natural sweet spot, this enables you to adapt quicker and more instinctively and dynamically to the terrain. Logically when you are standing in the sweet spot, you are able to transfer all of your power directly to the edge of the ski. The Custom Pro T3 liner is heat mouldable in the tongue, ankle and forefoot making sure the energy is transmitted efficiently with maximum fit and comfort and most importantly control when skiing the whole mountain.
