I've bought new boots after losing the toenail off my left big toe for a few consecutive seasons. I went to a well respected boot fitter who gave me custom shell custom liner custom footbed Salomons -two sizes smaller than my old boots. He did everything tests mentioned on the Buying Skiboots thread.
However, I wore them yesterday for the first time and could manage only 30 mins before taking them off - my toes on both feet were like a block - really cold with no sensation - the feeling came back after a few minutes with absolutely agonising pain.
I put them on again this morning although I took them off few times during the course of the day to get some feeling back in my left toes. This process became easier as the morning progressed. However, over this afternoon my left big toe toenail started to throb -so much that I was reluctant to put pressure on the toes for my turns which then added ankle pain due to the mix.
My big toe nail is still throbbing -hours later -and I'm dreading putting my boots on again tomorrow morning. Is it worth persevering with these (very expensive) boots or should I just rent?
