Just bought a pair online, but now I'm reading about issues with the toe box collapsing with over-the-toe straps. Anyone got any first hand experience with this boot?

You might be thinking of over-the-top straps. Just about every binding made today is over-the-toe, i.e. Burton, Rome, Union, Technine, etc.

I guess I'll answer my own question. It's true. The toe box on this boot is incredibly soft. Got 'em in the mail so I tried 'em on. Very comfortable boot. Sick graphics with Jamie Lynn's signature blue woman. Strapped in to my bindings and sure enough the toe box, more specifically the sides near the big toe and pinky toe, folded in. I ride Raiden Wizards, but I can't see the toe box holding up with any brand of over-the-toe strap. The only binding I can see this boot not having a problem with would be Flows. Bummed out because everything else about this boot was killer.
