Women's 105-Flex All-Mountain Boot with Rear-Entry Access

Atomic Nexus 105 BOA W Alpine Boot

The Atomic Nexus 105 BOA W is a women's all-mountain resort boot for skiers who want a supportive flex they can actually get into. NexStep construction keeps an overlap shell at the front and adds a QuickFlip rear lever, so the cuff opens away from the leg instead of forcing a foot past a fixed collar, and a low cuff clears a smaller calf. At a 101 mm last with high volume through the instep, the Nexus 105 BOA W fits feet that a medium-volume shell shuts out.

Is This the Right Boot for You?

Best For
Intermediate to advanced women skiers with high-volume feet who want a supportive resort boot and easier entry than a conventional overlap shell.
Consider Another Boot If
You want a touring boot, or your foot is low volume and needs a narrower shell to hold it.

Why We Like It

  • NexStep construction opens the cuff at the rear, which removes the worst part of a stiff overlap boot without softening the front of the shell.
  • The low cuff clears a smaller calf across the whole size run rather than relying on a spoiler being removed.
  • The BOA H+i1 dial wraps the lower shell evenly and micro-adjusts in both directions, which spreads pressure across a high instep.
  • A 101 mm last with high volume fits feet that fall between a medium and a wide shell, at a supportive 105 flex.

Best Uses

  • All-mountain resort skiing
  • Skiers with high insteps or high-volume feet
  • Smaller calves that a regular-height cuff pinches
  • Skis 80 to 100 mm underfoot
  • GripWalk and MNC binding setups

Bootfitter's Advice

The Nexus 105 BOA W runs a 101 mm last, medium width with high volume, on a low cuff with a forward lean of 15 degrees and a ramp angle of 4 degrees. High volume means instep depth rather than forefoot width, so it suits a foot that measures medium across the ball but deep over the top. Confirm size with a shell fit rather than converting from a street-shoe number.

After fitting a lot of women skiers in high-volume shells, we find the combination of a low cuff and a rear-entry lever solves two problems that usually need separate fixes: calf height and getting the foot in at all. Cuff volume is set once at the Set and Forget buckle and left there. The polyurethane shell punches and heats well, and the Mimic Gold liner is fully heat-moldable.

Compare the Atomic Nexus 105 BOA W

Nexus 105 BOA W vs. Atomic Nexus 120 BOA

The two share the 101 mm high-volume last, the NexStep entry, and the BOA dial. The Atomic Nexus 120 BOA runs a stiffer 120 flex on a regular cuff and sizes from 24/24.5. The Nexus 105 BOA W runs a low cuff and sizes from 22/22.5. Calf height and flex separate them.

Nexus 105 BOA W vs. Atomic Hawx Prime XTD 95 BOA W

The Atomic Hawx Prime XTD 95 BOA W adds a walk mode with 54 degrees of rotation and tech inserts for pin bindings, on a narrower 100 mm last. The Nexus 105 BOA W has neither, and trades them for rear-entry access, a stiffer flex, and more instep volume.

Nexus 105 BOA W vs. Atomic Hawx Magna 105 W

Both serve a higher-volume women's foot. The Atomic Hawx Magna 105 W is a conventional overlap boot on a 102 mm last. The Nexus 105 BOA W runs a 101 mm last and solves entry with a rear lever instead. Forefoot width against ease of entry is the trade.

Common Questions

Who should buy the Atomic Nexus 105 BOA W?
Intermediate to advanced women skiers with high-volume feet who want a supportive resort boot and an easier way in. The Atomic Nexus 105 BOA W suits a foot that measures medium across the ball but deep over the instep, and a smaller calf.
What bindings work with the Atomic Nexus 105 BOA W?
The Atomic Nexus 105 BOA W has AMT GripWalk grip pads certified to GripWalk (ISO 23223). Compatible with GripWalk and MNC bindings. Not compatible with ISO 5355 (Alpine) only bindings. The Nexus 105 BOA W has no tech inserts, so it will not run pin bindings at all.
Does the Atomic Nexus 105 BOA W have a walk mode?
No. The Atomic Nexus 105 BOA W is a resort alpine boot with no walk mode and no published cuff rotation. Skiers wanting a walk mode should look at the Atomic Hawx Prime XTD 95 BOA W instead.
Is the Atomic Nexus 105 BOA W a rear-entry boot?
Partly. NexStep construction keeps an overlap shell at the front for downhill performance and adds a QuickFlip rear lever for entry, so the Atomic Nexus 105 BOA W is not the soft rear-entry boot of the 1980s. The overlap front is what holds the 105 flex.
How does the low cuff affect the fit?
The low cuff is cut lower on the leg across the whole size run, which clears a smaller calf without removing a spoiler. Cuff volume is then set once at the Set and Forget buckle, since entry happens at the rear lever instead.
Can the Atomic Nexus 105 BOA W be punched and molded?
Yes. The polyurethane shell punches and heats well, Memory Fit is designed for shell and cuff shaping, and the Mimic Gold liner is fully heat-moldable.

Our Verdict

The Atomic Nexus 105 BOA W solves two fit problems at once. The low cuff handles calf height at the shell, and the QuickFlip rear lever removes the struggle of getting a foot into a supportive boot, without softening the overlap front that holds the 105 flex. The 101 mm high-volume last fits insteps that medium shells crush. There is no walk mode and no tech inserts, so this is a lift-served boot only. For a high-volume foot and a smaller calf on resort days, it is a strong answer.
