Now I wear genuine Crocs. Anti-bacterial and light as a feather and verrrryyy comfortable. so far they've done a brilliant job of protecting my feet....mind you I haven't dropped anything on them yet.. :D.
Take the orthopaedic advice mate. I did the same to the small pinkie on my right hand many years ago. Too far from medical treatment so dosed up on morphine killed the pain nicely but now i have 2 brittle little fingernails instead of one on the same finger. every time i break one of them it tears the skin and bloody hurts. :(
