Last summer I went on a hiking trip, and the new shoes I wore for those hikes didn't fit me well. In particular, they were slightly too small, and my big toes were slightly pushed against the front of the shoes. So with each step, the front of my shoe would slightly move my big toenails up and down. With over 20k steps per day during this trip, this nail movement made my big toenails detach. Both big toenails fell off about 1-2 months later. Took over like 9ish months to fully grow back. Wow.
