Never heard of that...but I've lost a few toenails from running in poorly fitted shoes...whatever you do, get fitted for quality running shoes.

i haven't heard of that either.  i've also lost a couple of toenails, but when i found the proper shoe/fit i haven't really had any issues with my toenails since.

welcome!

Where are we going??  And why am I in this handbasket??

right now.  somewhere.  somebody is working harder than you.

 I have a friend that had to have a toe fused but it wasn't the big toe it was then next one in. it was longer than her big toe and had broke a few times.

I had a minor bunion operation that went bad...then had to have a second surgery to fix the first error and the second was a failure...the podiatrist says the only answer now is to fuse the big toe...He said it is used for marathon runners but I am a middle aged (still overweight) non runner..I was hoping someone on here would have some experience with this...I am ruined now..Thanks you guys and gals for respsonding...
