that sounds painfull... not looking for miracles, just the best protection i can get... i was at a buddy's today at lunch, he showed me a picture of a guys foot who hookd a tree limb under the flap of his boot.. it took him off and poked the limb thru his foot... alpenstarts tech 7's i think..
it was nasty looking..
here is the photo.... not mine luckily
