    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.

    Unlike other comments this doesnt bother me. Im not into it but its also not a minus. Kinda the same amount of positive for me as just the base well-kept feet are i guess

      i sorta like it for the same reason i like long fingernails, the obvious inconvenience is just kinda hot 😳

      it does rather rely on your feet not looking gnarly and misshapen, though… And i think you really need to round off the nails a bit, having them square just looks unmaintained.

    I want to see her wearing normal shoes, like boots not high heels, and then we talk.

    I just feel like she’s about to assassinate a double-o agent by kick-slicing his throat open so that later James Bond has to bang and then kill her.

    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.

    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.

    How do you wear socks and shoes with such long toe nails? I don’t want someone who is unable to wear suitable shoes for touching grass.

    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.
