I have bought some trainer goo to try and a patch. Ive looked online alot and it looks like my big toes rubbing when im going down trails. Just really suprised after 2 months the material has worn through already?!
Kev - I think that can be a fairly common problem for some runners. Need to make sure your toenails are not sharp. Maybe thicker socks too?
I had a pair of shoes that were damaged on the heel tab, I used to tape them up with Kinesio tape and was able to continue to use them. I had to replace the tape now and then. Just wondering if duct tape would do the job too.
Next pair maybe look for ones with a roomier toe box.
Thanks! I am a predominant road runner where ive never burst trainers with my big toes. Hence new to trail running im guessing it’s rubbing while going downhill at speed.
funny you mention a roomier toe area as when the sauncony mad rivers arrived I felt they were running large to the size?!
Have you tried a direct warranty claim with Saucony? I had problem with Salomons bought through Sportshoes and eventually sorted it with a direct warranty claim to Salomon. Only needed to send photos to support claim and it was accepted. Worth a check in case they do same.

If you decide to return them maybe write a letter and send a copy to Saucony too. And make sure you get a proof of despatch from courier/post office.
Or you could patch up the shoes with tape and just write it off as a bad experience. Painful I know.
I've got several pairs of Saucony shoes, but only run on the road, never had any problems but I don't run off road.

I guess it's the height in the toe box you need more than the length.
I agree you would expect the trail shoes to be far more robust than a road shoe
