My toes don't lie flat and my toebox is a bit high. Probably usually a good thing, but in my case my middle right toe rubs against the top of the toebox, and probably mostly due to jumps, ands up hurting and missing a little patch of skin. The toebox is the only part of the boots that doesnt fit snugly and I imagine there is some good reason for that. My sock also looks to be wearing thin there. This was not a problem when I was wearing thicker socks, though the thinner ones are preferable for other reasons. I have felt around in the boot with my hand, and it seems pretty smooth and free of sharp edges, though that is where the tongue is stitched on.
I am looking for suggestions, and wondering if there isn't something like the thin gel padding with a cloth cavering of a bunga pad, but small and with an adhesive backing that I could stich to the top of the inside of the toebox to alleviate this issue. In the meantime I think keeping a band-aid on the toe, even when it heals, should suffice. It was healing well, then yesterday I forgot to use the band-aid, so now it's hurt again.

I wonder if a bit of sheepskin (with the wool trimmed appropriately) wouldn't do the trick and also keep my toes a little warmer...
Thanks in advance for any tips or advice.
