Runner's Toe

Also known as “black toe,” this injury is a blood blister beneath a nail. The condition is uncomfortable, can be prone to infection, and usually results in the eventual loss of the nail. The most common cause of runner's toe is tight running shoes, although jamming the toe running downhill can also cause the same problem. Your best prevention strategy is to make sure your running shoes fit.

Gren,
It's important to make sure that you have about a thumb width of space between the end of your big toe and the front of your running shoe. That seems like a lot, but especially if you are running long distances. You may find that your running shoe size is anywhere from 1 to 2 sizes bigger than your dress shoe size.

Good luck.
