I've taken both of the toe's bindings off, there's a common problem when they just unbuckle while skiing--a few people with the same boot had the same issue. I personally don't find them necessary so I removed them. Also, one of the tounges is cracked but still intact. I skied them every week for about three months so there are a few cosmetic scratches but nothing too noticeable. Other than those issues, they're fine. If you are still interested I can send you some pictures.
