Could try something like this, I start the cross over at the third hole on a pair of Oboz.
I love my salomons and I wear them out before replacing. I just got a new pair and noticed the same thing !
Try loosening the 'laces'. For whatever reason they seem to tighten hardest around the front of the foot, and I find they're very comfortable to walk in a touch looser than i would normally wear shoes.
So my take on Salomon is that they're super comfortable, that's why I buy them, but they size small, and they're not durable.
Unless you could remove that lace and start again higher up!

That could be worth trying actually! The lace is connected at the bottom exactly where the hard rubber bit that pushes on my big toe is, so it might relieve some pressure.

All still a long shot to make them feel better, but if you can't return them...

Yeah I guess it's worth having a play with. They'd need to be very thin normal laces but might work. My partner did suggest that I clean them up and try returning them but after a wash they still wouldn't pass for "only worn inside the house". Plus I'd feel a bit bad...
ps not tring to tell you how to suck eggs but you do get fitted when your feet are nicely swollen at the end of the day and or wear 2 pairs of your own socks when getting fitted don't you? Cheers
wear the thinnest socks you can,
try liner socks,
problem is in the heat and with walking your feet swell up, so you have to allow for that when trying them on in the shop, if they are a close fit in the shop then you might find they are too tight on a long walk.
