Is it safe to keep skiing in these boots?

I just blew up my boots somehow and don’t have any extras. All my local stores are sold out of boots as well.

if I duct tape these, will it be safe to ski? Or will I break my ankle asap

you can probably drill holes and bolt material or zipties or some other hood shit to hold it together but no guarantees it won't ski like shit or fall apart and kill you the moment you try to turn. I wouldn't fuck with duct tape lol

my take...
-drill holes on both pieces and zip tie together like sewing
-cover the whole seam with a fuck ton of flexible epoxy
-few layers of gorilla tape on the inside of the shell
-I'd say 4 volie/ski strap really tight around the whole boot everytime you ski. Like 1 above the top buckle, 1 bellow the bottom buckle, and two in the middle
-would be a lot of work but might still instantly break
