The Atomic Hawx Ultra 85 is a perfect boot for newer skiers with narrow feet. A low flex makes the boot easy to put on and allows it to be forgiving enough as you continue progressing as a skier. If you're making the jump from rental boots to a retail boot the Ultra 85 is going to make that transition painless. Being in a proper fitting boot will help to make your skiing as efficient as possible. If you're a more intermediate skier who wants a forgiving boot this could also be a good option for you. This is also a boot that you won't out progress too quickly, an 85 flex is more than enough power to bend recreational skis smoothly and predictably. This isn't the most powerful boot out there and if you are confident skiing more technical terrain or ski aggressively there are better boot out there for. However, for leisurely skiers, beginners, or low intermeditates this is a really great boot. If you're a more advanced skier looking for a more responsive or precise fit, check out the Ultra 95 or 115.
The Hawx Ultra 85 is a precise fitting boot but it's not uncomfortable or overbearing. A solid heel pocket will keep you locked in and confident on your favorite trails. Compared to the older Hawx Ultras, the newest liner is a more anatomical shape, particularly on the ankle bones but the rest of the boot is an improvement as well. Toe box is a little more pointed and some pinky toe pressure may be noticeable before the boot is molded to your foot shape. the Atomic Hawx line is one of the easiest boots to modify if any discomfort persists after the boot is broken in. Top of the foot is a little generous for a lower volume boot but that helps to add to the comfort level most casual skiers are after.
