I think I am probably going to get a "I think you have answered your own question here" but all the same to sooth my overthinking mind..
Current shoe situation: I am on my 3rd pair of Soloman speedcross 3s. as seen below:

When I start a hike they feel great. about 20 miles into the hike, usually on day 2 my pinky toes on both feet hurt so bad, the nails black, figure I'm going to loose those little guys, and well..it sucks, trip after trip my toes hurt and feel like they are getting crushed in the front of my shoe.
NOW, 2 trips in a row now I have strapped my Solomans to my pack, and put on my crocs. 2 trips ago I walked the 8 miles over dragons tooth in crocs, and this trip I walked 26 miles in crocs and MAN WAS IT NICE. Now the down fall to them is that I do have to watch out for the jagged rocks but I think that the crocs proving themselves over DT and Daleville north says something.
Ankle support really isn't an issue for me as I roll my ankle freely and it causes me no pain. Just looking for thoughts on this 3 season footwear option, and maybe some options on what would be most similar to them in a show form. Maybe what I need to be looking for a much more square toe box?
