>> I lost all my toenails a few years back , they turned black and came
>> off - very painful ....... suffice to say I wear correctly fitting boots when climbing
>> mountains now.
Same happened to me retpocileh, but only one big toenail. The boots were fine, but I left the toenail too long. Took a big step coming down, as you do, and felt the thing slam into the front of the boot. It turned black over the next couple of weeks. I went for a swim in the local swimming pool and felt it flapping off my toe, not pleasant, for me or the other swimmers.
In my holiday packing list, I now have a note 'remember to cut toenails' :-)
