Are black toenails just a fact of running life, or can they be avoided?
runs, I wrap each toe with a layer of micropore tape to stop each toenail digging into the next toe. It also prevents blisters between the toes. Not as romantic as sheepswool, but it's tricky finding a handy sheep in sunny Southampton! – Carol Bradwell
