The Atomic Waymaker is a great ski boot for those looking for performance on the hill, but also want to be able to hike or skin for turns in the backcountry. The Waymaker is easy to use as the hike/ski levers allow you to quickly flip a lever and be hiking or skinning uphill.
This boot is perfect for someone with a wider forefoot; the boot cups the heel securely and offers more room in the toe box. Atomic’s Heat Moldable liners give a comfortable fit, without sacrificing performance. The Waymaker comes in various flexes; Atomic uses Carbon in the medium to stiffer flexes, allowing the ski boot to be both light and stiff.
Atomic fitted the Waymaker with interchangeable soles, out of the box it comes with Alpine soles, but Tech fittings are easily attached for ski touring.The Waymaker is easy to use as the hike/ski levers allow you to quickly flip a lever and be hiking or skinning uphill.
The Waymaker also comes with Atomics’ LiveFit Performance, which is a flexible rubber panel in the “Sixth Toe” area of the boot, which prevents squeezing on the side of the skier’s foot.
