I was at North Miami Beach last week and ran along the beach running/walking trail.
At that early in the morning, temps were low 80s, but humidity was an a@@ kicker. I had planned for this annual ritual and anticipated the humidity, so i brought in my trusty two running bottles and filled them with gatorade. So I stayed hydrated.
I ended up with some crazy “runners toes” ugly to see. I think my running shoes are done. Strangely enough, I had no issues with runners toes in the past.
So the question is this: what are your proven tricks to prevent runners toes? 3 days later I ran 7 miles with same shoes and I made them worst. Fire away with ur ideas. I have ditched the running shoes, which already had 350 miles in them anyway

Ouch, weird that you never had the issue. I do wonder if the shoes broke down, stretched, and lost some of the lock down and securement. Maybe that's just enough to allow your feet to move and smash into the toe box?
At any rate, probably no magic bullet to offer since everyone is so different, but I personally have tried to migrate to shoes with wider toe boxes. Shoe company's seem to be trending this way overall, but some more so than others, like Altra. I also pretty religiously wear Injinji toe socks for running also which is also polarizing
