My wife is running Disney marathon tomorrow and her middle toenail just fell off. Its partial raw skin underneath but it is tender. Anyone have any advice or experience with this. My advice was HTFU, which she is ready to do.
Heh, came here to say HTFU, but reconsidered after your first two words.
Ask around for toe caps in the AM. Pro-tec makes some and I’ve heard good things. It might not feel the best, but at least it will protect the toe.
It’s been years since I’ve lost a nail so I don’t remember much. Can you treat it like a fresh blister? Mole skin, super glue, etc?

I’ll bet it’s fine by tomorrow. Leave it exposed today. Don’t cover it with a band aid. Let it get air and dry out a bit. I’m always happy when they fall off.
It’s an indicator that she has trained well for the race. Congrats!
