Funnily enough, after my first marathon last year, both big toenails were completely bashed. This year, I ran in shoes with a more narrow fit (I do have wide feet!), and only one of them really suffered. Janey, I haven't run yet, but it's feeling much better today, so I'm planning to run this weekend. It had been throbbing quite a lot for a day or two, but is much better now - phew. As Footpad, says, I've now got a nice hole to show off - now that the toe isn't that sore anymore, I can hardly believe I voluntarily put a red-hot paperclip through it!

runner duck Jun 2011 11:36pm, 1 Jun 2011 4,625 posts	Quote Pin runner duck ah, good point. i was wondering whether to go back to nike vomeros. they are what i wore when i first started running and i moved up to running half marathons fairly quickly and didn't have this problem. i've found some cheap so i might go for it and see.

SpicedApple Jun 2011 8:35am, 2 Jun 2011 4,914 posts	Quote Pin SpicedApple HT, these are half a size up from my usual trainers as well. They did squish the top of one of my feet, so have now taken to lace them differently, too.
