    This upsets me deeply. I had to get up in the night and trim my toenails last night because they were long enough that I could feel them against the sheets.

    Can’t wear normal closed-toe shoes with wild toenails. It’s autumn, and will eventually be winter. Is that lady going to keep wearing flip-flops in the cold wet rain & snow just to assert her eagle talons?

      Some people wear sandals year-round because they live where that’s the most comfortable option unless you’re going for a run. Snow never, rain seldom, cold not very.

      It does seem to me that those on the left would scoop up dust and grime like shovels, hanging out past the edge of the sandal like that. I guess it would show how pampered you are. Kind of like foot-binding.

    I will admit that the one on the left looks significantly better than the right but in all honesty they are both GROSS 🤢. Nothing wrong with short, clean nails.

    I’m more surprised by the bunions on her feet. Unfortunately, deformed feet like that are all too common, thanks to our collective obsession with pointed shoes.

    Mine aren’t quite that long, but are similar. And I’m a guy. I get really severe ingrown toenails if I keep mine trimmed too short, but don’t have any issues as long as I keep them grown out past the skin. Yes, they’re annoying, and took getting used to. I can still wear closed-toed shoes (occasionally I buy a size larger if the shape of the shoe feels tight on my nails). It all still beats the pain and occasional bloody socks from my nails cutting into my toes as they grow.

      If you let your toenails go past a point, they’re just going to stay that way, your toe adapts to the shape and it’s never going to look like a young person’s toe. Hell my 2nd toenail is shaped like a tent for some goddamn reason. On both feet. Whatever. The days of foot fetishists coming at me are over 😂

    I have long toes, like the lady in the first picture, and kinda long but not wide feet and already it’s hard to find shoes that fit correctly, I can’t imagine how both her toes and long toenails appear to be fitting in the sandal. Maybe she has her feet pulled back for the picture, but take a step and those nails will be hanging over the edge. Also how is her second toe so much longer than the big toe? So that long toenail doesn’t go past the second toe? What is going on here?
