I recently got a pair of Scarpa Morraine GTX's as an impulse buy while on holiday. They fit great in the shop, and were incredibly comfy. Towards the end of my first hike in them however, I noticed a slight pain on the top of my big toe. I attributed it to just breaking in. However since then I have worn them 3 more times, and the pain is not going away. It seems to be being caused by a crease on top of the shoe where it digs into my big toe.

Unfortunately as I purchased these on holiday, returning them is not an option. Does anyone have any advice on what I could do to make these more comfortable. I have tried window lacing to create more space but this had the opposite effect, causing more creasing and pain, and have put in some good insoles which have mildly helped but after a full day they are still digging into my big toe. Any ideas?

I know it's not a huge budget, and there's a bit of flexibility in the price, but she currently plays on her PS4 or a very old laptop, so any desktop would be an improvement. She likes playing cute building games like hydroneer or alchemy factory on laptop, though does enjoy playing the witcher games or assassins creed on her PS4.

I am looking at mainly prebuilt, but was wondering what the best bang for your buck would be if I were to build/configure it myself. She has all the peripherals already.
