It's funny you said that. When I was taking Kyokushin Karate classes, my sensei once made a comment on my toenails being too long and told me that it can be dangerous.

Some good dope from a .mil friendly site, regarding, feet, footcare, and customizing boots. Scroll down for interesting commentary on the importance of clipping your toenails straight and keeping your toes in good order. Be mindful of plenty of colorful language.

The only thing that irritates me more than getting hurt because someone thinks they have more control than they do, is when their lack of grooming hurts...ugg!

Thanks for the link. I joined the forum and it was worth it. Your link comes at the right time for me because I was thinking of buying Canadian military combat boots but I may post a dedicated thread for that. Proper footwear is a challenge because of issues like insensible perspiration (perspiration needed to keep your feet supple) and I also have flat feet. Good info.

I was not aware of straight edge toenail clippers and that your toenails should be straight across.

Nice language though, it was a good lesson on colloquial english. I s*** you not!
