Strengths:
- Solid stiff boot for people with wide hard to fit feet.
- Responsive.
- Nice simple styling. No crazy colors or graphics.
Weaknesses:
- Buckle rivets are not recessed so this can cause pressure points. It did with me on some really prominent bones in my feet.
- Boot liner is shorter than the boot shell. I think this is the case with most boot manufacturers for some reason.
Summary:
As someone that suffers from having really wide hard to fit feet, I thought this boot would be my answer. It's a great boot that is plenty stiff unless you are a racer or something. It performs well and is really responsive. However, the buckle rivets are not recessed so I had some really painful pressure and rubbing on some of my forefoot bones. It's a detail that I wish Atomic had not overlooked on this boot.
Also, I had a really great shell fit but thought the boot was too tight with the liner in it. Turns out, the liner looks like it's about a size shorter than the boot shell. Yes, it's the right liner for the boot. For some reason it seems most boot companies do this. I thought my foot would stretch the liner but after 20 days, it's still the same. My toes stay crunched up and press into the shell of the boot causing pain.
It's a decent boot but I wish I had waited for the LF 120 to come out. I saw it in a shop and thought the quality and attention to detail was much better. The rivet heads are recessed and the liner is much better.

Strengths:
Feels like good quality, use from the end of last season!
And I have ank feet and AWESOME problems with shoes and slippers, these Atomic I have not even "printed" !!
Weaknesses:
Is the flap easily clamped between the buckles, which makes it possible to tension them and damage the flare (the plunger)
And, reading the plastic bit in the back cover, is "loose" when you remove Innerskon, which I lost when I left Innerskon!
Summary:
Good pants, which you should be careful about with those loose parts !!
