Should I ski on these?

My dallbello boots toe piece decided to rip off when I landed nose heavy on a misty 5. Dallbello didn’t let me warranty them and told me to buy a $70 piece which I did because I’m not buying new boots but the piece won’t get in for a week or two. I really don’t want to take 2 weeks off from skiing. They still clipped in and I’ve hit a few rails and skied some steep woods with them and haven’t had an issue. But I’m wondering if I should not ski on them or just send it. Pictures below show the piece missing and what it looks like clipped in.

If you can still ski, thats fine, but a safety issue is a safety issue. I would tone it back for a bit. Dont want to accidentally eject when you expected not too.

Are you young? Likely to heal well when you fuck yourself up?

It's like driving without a safety belt. You might make it alive, but if you don't, it's likely to cost you big time and you'll have a hard time in front of the mirror.

Like mentioned above, just keep it tame but know there is that chance of ejection when not needed.

Your risk tolerance, you choice man.

Personally I'd hit up my friends and see if anyone has some old boots they don't use anymore for the time being

If those bottom parts on the boot are replaceable then just do that and your chilling. If not then new boots might go, Facebook market place pops off
