The most effective way to prevent black toenails is to run in shoes that fit properly. You should have a thumbnails width room between your big toe and the front of your shoe while standing, not sitting. You should also wear moisture thin, moisture wicking socks to prevent increased heat build-up.
Most black toenails follow a fairly consistent uneventful course. They turn black and fall or peal off after several months with no pain or complications. If, however, there is pain, swelling, or drainage associated with a black toenail a trip to the podiatrist is recommended.
