My WCF's tear up the tops of my feet as well. I wish they didn't have that stupid/large wing on them. I had a superball size lump in the middle of my foot for two weeks because of them. I already wear skateboarding shoes, but I am going to buy some with a thicker tongue.
 
I don't have a problem with the tops of my feet at all, my 24/7's fit perfect with just turf and 8mm underpad on the bottom. Are your feet moving around and hitting the top of the hold when you pull up? Mine fit like a binding with my wrestling shoes. The problem I have is the side of my right ankle gets really torn up to the point where it scabs over. For a day. Then I ride again and it's open....

Do it twice?That's DooDoo
looked at the holds closely... my toes are fit snug pretty good in the front, the top of my foot is loose by about 1/2" and anytime that my feet move around - my heel can come up and the top of my foot comes in contact with the "wing" (with no padding but 1 worn-out layer of turf) that sticks out on the top of the foothold.... also, my wrestling shoes do not have like any padding on the tongue which doesnt help things...

I tried putting on my shoe and sticking it in the hold and sticking pieces of turf and padding around spots... it seemed to help a little... not as much as I thought it would... a lot of that is prob. just because my foot is still bruised up...
