Yesterday I sent out a list of 5 tips for happy and healthy hiking to everyone on our e-newsletter list. Here is a sixth tip:
Cut your toenails before your hiking trip. Toenails that are too long will inevitably end up getting jammed into the front of your boot when you go downhill. This will lead to bruising and swelling under the big toenail, which is incredibly painful. The simplest prevention is to cut your toenails after a shower, when standing in water has softened them up some. This allows you to get them quite short.-- Marian
