How easy do the heel lifters work on these shoes? I used a pair of Atlas ones today, and I thought the lift bars were very difficult to get down.

The heel lifter work great. I've used them a few times and never had a problem. It does help to drop to one knee to engage or disengage them. I have no experience with the atlas.

My personal use of the Lightning Ascents has been very good. The heel raiser is easy IMO to get up and down, although you might need to get on one knee to engage and disengage it. I personally haven't tried the Atlas shoes so I can't comment on them.
