What is your experience with the la sportiva Aequilibrium

I need a relatively technical shoe that will do fine in a full day of glacier hiking as well as full day backpacking. From my research the la sportiva Aequilibrium fits these criteria well, as it is crampon compatible relatively soft and with high ankle supports. I tried it on and it is slightly tight around the first joint of my little toe. (They told me at the store that that part of the shoe shouldn’t be too tight around that area) I was wondering if it is true that my pinkie shouldn’t be touching the shoe there, if the shoes break in pretty well so that maybe this problem will go away after breaking them in and if there are any alternatives if the shoe won’t fit. (The width of my foot is 104mm left and 106mm)
