Nordic manufacturers have traditionally offered their top of the line race boots in just one width. To make sure the boots provided a good secure fit for the lateral demands of skating, race boots have only been available in different variations of narrow. Athletes with feet slightly wider than average found themselves buying the number 2 boot in a line in order to have a comfortable fit. Atomic is changing all of that for this coming winter. The top of the line skate and classic boots offered by Atomic will be available with two different widths. The white and red skate and classic boots that are designated “Worldcup†will be built around the narrower “S-Lab†last with its minimal volume. This will be Atomic’s lowest volume last and it will offer a secure fit for athletes whose feet are narrower than average. The black and red skate and classic boots that are designated “Race Carbon†use a slightly wider last for feet of average width.
