Why boot companies? Why do you not make these boots!?

the last is the width of the boot around the foot. so i dont know what you mean by a "thin" last....?

generally when i talk to customers about last, an easy way to explain it is that this boot is going to be "narrower" or "thinner."

guess it is not technically the correct definition.

This year, Atomic offers the Burner 90- 98mm lasted boot with an 90 flex, full PU shell construction. Currently we offer a 120 and a 90, but next year we will do a 120, a 100, and a 80.

here's the Burner 90:

Check out some of the Nordica series, I really havn't stayed in touch with them but i know in the past they have catered to people with narrower feet. My buddy rides a set of nords and he has baby feet so you might want to look into those.

it definitely does not fit or hold a narrow foot like a true 98mm shell would though

agree, i have them in my shop and did not like the fit at all.


just sucks i can't get the dobermann series from nordica or raptor series from head (what i have now as the mojo pro from a couple years back) in a softer flex.

Just aggravating that most of the softer flex boots have a shitty liner in them as well.

Dude check out the Burner series, even the 90 comes with a micro-fiber liner (leather external material).

Plus you can always soften any of the boots we are talking about to get the exact flex you need.

Salomon Shogun. Take out the bolts and cut the shell if you want it super soft.

Air Shell 90 will flex roughly like the Burner 90 will, and he will be better able to soften a Burner type boot with more success if it is still too stiff for him.

these boots all come out of the same shell mold, with a claimed forefoot width of 101mm. they are not different.
