As useful as the Hawx 2.0 series is for the male of the species, women might benefit even more from these special shoes. That’s because the boots don’t lose a lot of their quality features as they decline in flex index and cost, meaning that the Prime 80 W buyer still gets a lot of boot, particularly for the price. Since women tend to be lighter than men, a lower index boot is more likely to be appropriate for them.
Women also have more problematic feet than men, presenting fit and alignment issues all their own. The Memory Fit system in the Hawx 2.0 series is boot-fitting magic, enabling customization of both the liner and shell to any fit anomaly on a woman’s foot. Women are more likely to suffer from poor circulation and cold feet, so the Thinsulate lining in the toes and Thinsulate Platinum everywhere else is a lifesaver.
