I know what you mean, ive only worn my 4 times and they are creasing across the toes already.
I also dry them out properly and then wax them. A few people on here have moaned about them, perhaps
there not as good as we think they are. My Scarpa's are 14 yrs old and still going strong.
I only use mine for dog walking,clay and rough shooting, no digging or any hard work.
