New Boot: Bring it back to the store?

[Dug]

I wasn't able to get the metal tab under the rubber shim without damaging the rubber.

Will my boot leak a lot more? Bring it back to the store? Get laughed at? Or maybe I'm being completely ridiculous?

Trollicious.

Lange just puts the rubber dam there for show. Those things leak like a colander.

Pretty much true. They will leak even if it's in perfect condition. And they will laugh at you.

Next time you see a bunch of ski racers, notice two things:
- Lots of them wear Lange boots because Lange makes great race boots.
- Everyone with Lange boots has duct tape over the toe.

Even the world cuppers. Every woman I saw on lange had duct tape on the toe.

Open the boot up a little and work that fucker back into place. All it will really do is make the boots look uniform, as far as keeping water out....
Im anal enough that I would do it.

The bigger question is why the boot is on a cookie rack in your sink.

It's a much quicker way to fill the boot with water. You can do that by skiing it, but it takes so much longer.

Took them back to the store and exchanged them with no problems.

^ but did you get some duct tape? You will need it. Great boots though.

^This. If they exchanged them for the same thing it's just a matter of time before the problem comes back.

Same boots or something different?

I bet they laughed after you left.

The toe dam can be easily replaced in Lange boots.
