The new Scarpa Atom trail running shoes have arrived on the market and will undoubtedly delight the most demanding mountain runners. Its reduced 4mm drop demands a good running technique from the runner and its aerodynamic and breathable construction will allow to reach competitive speeds.

The Italian firm continues with the firm purpose of creating products that offer an extraordinary response even on the most complex terrain. Scarpa 's new Atom model is aimed at neutral runners with good running technique and who are looking for maximum sensitivity and lightness during training and/or competition. Its reduced drop offers an almost direct contact with the ground but its structure provides the support and protection that the mountain runner needs at all times. Let's get right into the analysis of the Scarpa Atom's performance, starting, of course, with the midsole.
The EVA-CM rubber midsole, present in another of the Italian company's models, the Scarpa Proton, offers reactive and efficient cushioning. In addition, the user will be able to enjoy permanent comfort for more and more kilometers.
The upper of these shoes is a combination of synthetic leather and polyester mesh that offers flexibility and breathability in equal parts. In addition, the waterproof and aerodynamic structure will keep your feet dry for longer while you reach racing speeds!
