Does anyone else have problems with deeply discoloured toenails after lots of running through peatbogs or general moorland. mine go a horrible deep brown colour, so much so the missus has taken to painting them with clear nail varnish or otherwise ( metalic black was the worst so far) , any advice taken

You're weird, (my daughter has just said).
Sealskin socks - they even withstand the peat bogs on Ilkley moor!
My advice: stop acting like a big girl and MTFU Phil :closed:Quote:

They're just a delightful shade of peatbog.
the only advice I can offer is a change of perspective.
Not problems, no. You see the glass half empty. You should be revelling in your enhanced-coloured toenails. If you run through clay or iron-rich soils you can get some lovely reds to mix with the standard peat brown. :)Quote:

do you go around in sandals in the winter as well, just to indicate the mankiness of said toenails? I hope so. That would certainly put you in the "legendary" column of forumites.Quote:

You're right there. How can you take a runner seriously if they've got a full set of unmangled toenails?Quote:
