Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD 115 BOA W GW

The Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD has always been a benchmark hybrid boot, and now with the addition of BOA it cements its position as one of the most desired boots on the shelf. The fit is slim without being tight and the new BOA closure ensures the kind of even pressure that clips can struggle to provide.

K2 Anthem 95 BOA GW

K2 were one of the first brands to embrace BOA on alpine boots, and these Recon/Anthem models haven’t just had the new tech ‘bolted’ on, they were totally redesigned to make it work to its very best potential, and it’s mission accomplished. Instant comfort, excellent foot wrap and smooth, easy performance are what make these models stand out.

The Supra models are a totally new range, built around the possibilities of BOA and using every bit of Salomon’s extensive foot and boot know-how. They offer a generous medium fit, with possibly the most comfortable toe box we have tried on, and highly effective custom fitting of the shell as well as the liner. Already a top seller.
