Yep, these are the boots that came gratis from Atomic with the Nomad Crimsons.
And yep, the claim is that there is a flex between the ball of the foot and the heel. I skied at Catamount today on hard pack and ice. Emphasis on hard pack and ice. I'm sure that the Nomads with their 88mm under-foot are not the ideal ride for these conditions, but they seemed to get up on edge easily enough, and how much of that is the ski and how much is the boot I'm not sure. More likely the combo of the two made for easier edging of the wider ski on the hard surface. I'm anxious to play the boot/ski/binding on some softer conditions soon.
