next time you buy boots...get some that you can replace toe and heel soles. Lots of options...

you could use fibreglass, which would be a mess and a pain.
Body filler- just plaster it on in thin coats to avoid air bubbles and sand it down until you are happy. Don't know how durable it would be or how well it would stay on but for $10 it's worth a shot.
Liquid plastic- it exists, I have never used it but I imagine you just make a mold of your boot (bottom part) then pour the liquid plastic in, wait for it to dry and sand any problem areas. They also have liquid rubber but I am not sure how well these products would adhere. If they work the liquid rubber would be awesome as shit, except for when you need to reapply it.
As brought up you might have troubles with shops setting things like your forward pressure or mounting- they might question the safety of your boot and not do it.

Overall your boots are done unfortunately.
There is no good way to rebuild the heel and toe. Some shops may say they can rebuild it but it wont last. Dont try to do it yourself.
Next time buy cat-tracks if you buy boots without replaceable heel and toes

would you be able to grind down, and install the rubber toes now that all ft's have them? assuming the shape/construction of the shell is similar, i feel like it wouldnt be too big of a stretch?

No unfortunately not, the inside where the screws go into the clog part of the boot would still not match.
Although the shells may be similar the construction of the heel and toe between the old and new is very different.

Contact your nearest Nordica dealer. Most shops keep most current model heel and toes in stock. If you have an old model they should be able to order them for you.
