I have wide toes and both of my Unparallel Souped Up have now split at the top along the seam.

My toes feel pinched and I can feel my big toe knuckle pushing against the material but they aren't painful.

When I wear them on the wall the flex my toes the hole gets way bigger - see second image

Is this due to my shoe not matching my feet type, or a defect in the shoe, or bad technique? They could just be getting old I've had them for 8 months and climb 1 or 2 times a week indoors

Do you think I could repair them with some shoe goo?

I'm thinking of getting a pair of Scarpa Instinct VR because they have a bigger toe box.

Cheers
