Ok so i bought a pair of salomon spk kaos boots approximately 35 days ago. i've been riding 3 times with them, and all 3 times its has been hell for my feet. first time, i let it slip because i need to wear them in, second time i prayed it wouldnt happen again, and now after the third time......i have "black toe". for those of you who dont know what that is. my large toe and toe nail, is serverly bruised. and now has become infected, and my toe nail is momentarily going to fall off. heres a link to give you guys an idea what black toe looks, and is.
http://www.positivehealthsteps.com/natural/blacktoenail.shtml BUT MINE looks alot worse....and hurts alot. so now its just really black, almost green.....infected, and really painful. with my toe nail is basically waiting to fall off.
now heres where i need advice.....
when i got my boot "fitted", they gave me a size 27......which i question that it might of been too small? when i tried it on, i told they guy they were really tight, but he said it will have to break in. so thats why i did worry the first time and second time that much....the past 3 shoes i've had have been sized at 10.5, 10.5 and 11.....and they fit just right.....now according to this chart
http://www.roamshop.com/gear-info_comments.php?id=51_0_8_0_C i should have been fit with a 28.5 or even 29. now im really pissed of sitting here, with alot of snow falling in my region, and i've research that it will take a month plus for it infection to fully heal, and 6 month for the toe nail to grow back.........that means this season will either be a reallly fucking painful one, and basically full of my feet getting re-injured.
so i think they fitted me with way to small of a boot. i asked the guy to give me a higher size, and he said no no, that will be fine, once your break them in......yes i wore them around my house, yes i rode a couple times, and now my toes are fucked.....its like giving birth taking and putting my boots on and off....i fucking hate it? do you guys think i have a chance to get new boots? or whats your advice?
