After my last trip I ran into some issues with my Keens and rubbing on the downhills due to a bunion on my foot. Normally I'd just deal, but I got a little impatient in drying them and a portion of the sole got a little melty from being too close to the fire.

Anyways I love the big toe box of the keens but I'd like a heavier more robust boot. I checked out some hanwags but was sorely disappointed in how narrow the toe is even on their bunion models. Anyone know how much softer they get after a break in period? Or maybe a similar style brand?
