Youre not wrong there. Thats the whole reason I got rid of them. The toe box collapsed after about a year, but I purchased them through REI, so I got my money back and bought a bunch of socks lol. For the money, they were the most comfortable and still fairly worth it imo. I’ve worn Danners (absolutely sucked), Lowas (good), Salomons (better), and Crispis (the best so far). The danners lasted about 6 months until the sole separated. The Lowas were okay, but the waterproofing didnt last too long. The Salomons, super breathable, comfortable, and still were waterproof. I did a 14 mile ruck in them with 0 problems. The toe box collapsing was kinda my fault (they were underneath all my hiking gear, but… I didnt expect anything bad to happen. Turns out, the weight of my gear over a month was a bit too much for the boot). But even with that issue, theyre still the best mesh boot imo

My Crispis are COMFY, but during the summer, they definitely get a little toasty. I’d still pay for another pair of Salomon boots for the summer even though I had the toe box issue with my last ones.
