Getting stepped on toenails

[marcus368]

Hi everyone,

I started playing football regularly for a few months now, two games per week and every game I get stepped on my feet quite badly, two of my big toenails are already gone. I'm wrapping them in gauze and it helps a tiny bit, but is there anything more I can do? Some sort of protector for them, or boots made of harder material or something else? I appreciate any help!

Cheers

Hello Marcus, and welcome aboard.
Yes, I know what you mean, your ankles are probably sore too.
Don't think there is much you can do about that, and it's usually worse when playing competitively.
