    Proper shoes eliminate much of the risk. Buy cheap shoes (or expensive ones that aren't right for your feet) and watch your toenails turn black.

    This !

    I have to keep my toenails trimmed as short as possible for my dance shoes. My toenails hang on for dear life, but I've gotten horrible blood blisters under them. It really helps to keep them short.

    No, but I have to keep my toenails trimmed much shorter than I used to. I think my feet don't look as cute with them this short, but it's better than having them fall off.

    Its dancers who have ugly feet, not runners. If you're loosing toenails your shoes are obviously too small.
    Callouses, too small. Bunion pain, too narrow. Rough skin, rub with olive oil.

    In the process of losing one and I am really upset, I recently completed the three peaks (walking quickly) and it was down hill in walking boots that did it even though my nails were short. Banging toes onto the front of walking boots for a few hours did quite a bit of damage.
