What foot shape fits the Hawx Prime 100 BOA?

Medium-volume feet around 100mm width at reference size 26/26.5. Average width, average-to-slightly-tall instep. Memory Fit can expand up to 6mm in the forefoot for borderline wide feet.

Is the Hawx Prime 100 BOA good for beginners?

Flex 100 is intermediate-to-advanced. Beginners should look at the Hawx Prime 80 or Speed 80 HV+ for a softer flex.

What bindings work with GripWalk boots?

GripWalk ISO 23223 soles require GripWalk-compatible, MNC, or MN bindings. Most modern alpine bindings from Look, Marker, and Tyrolia are compatible.

A medium-volume all-mountain alpine boot on Atomic's 100mm last, the most common foot shape. The 100 flex is the easy end of the Prime line: supportive without fighting you all day. The change on this version is the closure — a BOA H+i1 dial on the lower shell wraps the forefoot evenly instead of clamping at two buckle points.

Average-width feet (100mm last), average-to-slightly-tall instep
Intermediate to advanced skiers who ride the whole mountain at a real, non-race pace
Anyone who gets forefoot pressure or hot spots from lower buckles
Skiers planning to heat-mold the shell and liner — this boot is built to be customized

Narrow / low-volume feet — look at the Hawx Ultra (98mm)
Wide / high-volume feet — look at the Hawx Magna (102mm). BOA tightens, it doesn't add width
Heavier or hard-charging skiers — step up to the 110 or 130
Shoppers picking by flex number alone — fit and last matter more

This is a BOA-lower plus two-aluminium-cuff-buckle boot — not full BOA, not a three-buckle boot. The GripWalk soles (ISO 23223) need GripWalk, MNC, or MN bindings, and there's no walk mode. It's a resort boot.

The easiest-flexing boot in a respected all-mountain line, and the BOA lower is worth trying if buckles have bothered your forefoot. Get a shell fit and a mold before you commit — on boots, the fit decides everything.

Last Width

100mm— Medium (100–101mm)

100 flex, 100mm last, BOA lower closure. The Hawx Prime 100 BOA covers the widest range of medium-volume feet at this price. The BOA H+i1 dial replaces the lower buckle — faster, more even pressure, adjustable with gloves on. Memory Fit heat-molds shell, cuff, and liner up to 6mm in the forefoot.

Compared to the Dalbello Cabrio MV 100, the Hawx is more precise in the lower foot thanks to BOA, while the Dalbello has a roomier 101mm fit and three-piece Cabrio flex. The Salomon S/PRO Delta BOA 100 GW is a wider-volume alternative at 102mm for feet on the wider side of medium.

Strengths

+BOA H+i1 lower closure — faster and more even than traditional buckles
+Memory Fit heat-molds shell + cuff + liner in one session
+Prolite shell: lighter without losing stiffness

Best For

Medium-volume intermediate-to-advanced skiers upgrading from rental boots. All-mountain daily driver.

Limitations

−No walk mode — bootpackers look at the Hawx Prime XTD
−BOA cable is a rare but possible failure point
−100 flex may be soft for aggressive experts — step up to 110 S

Not For

Wide feet (102mm+ → Hawx Magna), narrow feet (98mm → HEAD Raptor), touring, or 110+ flex chargers.
