I should of known better. I have one on each foot that I think is going to go black. They are looking slightly bruised This morning. Anyone know if there is anything I can do to salvage the situation or is it too late? I could kick myself. Well I would if my legs weren't sore after yesterday 😃.

Oh bad news RFC. In my (admittedly very limited) experience, when they turn black, they've gone past the point of no return. Maybe icing could help ......

They seem to of stayed the same colour I've night maybe I've got away with it

Ouch 😣!!! Always cut ur toenails, otherwise they make holes in ur running socks - definitely even worse to have a black toenail, what caused it - was it impact from the run?

[Realfoodieclub Graduate10 in reply to JoolieB1]

I know I was always told you cut your toenail 2 weeks before an event that way if you over cut it has time to heal but not grow too long. But I completely forgot. I think it was wet shoes and swollen feet combination. Normally the shoes are fine.

They might just stay bruised looking. I've had a few like that and it just grows out without going black. My little toe nail fell off though because, like you, I forgot to cut my toenails and it kept catching. Was very painful for a while but it had become infected so I suspect that was its ultimate demise. Good luck!

I'm hoping that now , there hasent been a change. I will keep an eye on it.

I've had black toe nails too, from my first pair of shoes. I don't seem to get them now. In my experience they look a bit unsightly but don't hurt, so do you need to do anything to/with them?

[Realfoodieclub Graduate10 in reply to Curlygurly2]

I had that with a bad pair of shoes once. With This one even a bit of pressure from my soft booty slippers I can feel the two toes. Im now thinking it's just a bit bruised and maybe will feel better in a couple of days, I wasn't planning on doing anything major on the exercise front this week mainly swimming so I can give it a week to heel.
