Hi everyone, this is my first topic on the forum. Firstly i would like to apologize for my language mistakes, im still learning :)

I find two ski boots which are fit very good to my foot Atomic Hawx Prime 120S and Nordica Speed Machine 130, both models from 2018/19 season. I think atomic is more narrow, sport and better hold a ankle. Both are really great for me, but have some questions
which will make my choice easier.

There is any difference between boots from 17/18 season and 18/19 season?
Which is better from the technical point of view?

Thanks :)

If the Speedmachine feels a little loose in the ankle try the ProMachine. I went in looking at the SM 130 and wound up in the PM 120. It is a 98 last boot but had enough room for my D width foot. I skied 8n them for the first time yesterday and I think they are going to be very good. In the shop I felt the PM 120 was stiffer Than the SM 130 and on the hill yesterday in 8* weather it was plenty stiff.

I don’t have experience with the Atomics.

If you have a medium volume boot, both ate great options and both have a good amount of customization ability. Without seeing your feet, tough to say, but either could be right...either could be wrong, what does your fitter say?
