not Camel Toe!!!

I smacked my right big toe on a rock last weekend...I can still move it, but it was pretty darn sensitive all week - to the point that any tight shoe made it uncomfortable. Had to wear sandals.

well...since my toe didn't agree with my XC shoes, I went and rode some DS this morning. I slid out on this corner and barely hit my foot on the ground, but its like someone yanked me on the toe with a sledgehammer!!

Is it possible to have a broken toe and still be able to move it? I don’t feel like going to the Dr. since they can’t do anything about it even if it was broken.

same thing happened last week to me, and the toe stills hurts and would 'click' at the time. It could be broken and still move depending on the break.

So what does it matter?

You are just gonna have to wait for it to heal anyway

And yes, it is possible to have a broken toe and be able to move it....painfully

 

[Evel Monkey]

Yeah, it is. Have had a few of broken toes, you just need to be easy on them for a bit. Anyway, I find toes not to be so sensitive, maybe I'm just a caveman??

 

[kidwoo]

Yup. Probably broken. No soccer for 4-6 weeks.

you my friend should be excluded from this thread all together!! you should be the last one to give advice here!!

Heya.

Sounds like your toe is broken alright. Been trough the same thing a couple of months ago after an unpleasant meeting with a treestub (sp), and after about a week of pain i went to a doctor and was diagnosed with a brolen toe.

The best ting to do is just to get some pain relievers, and stay of the bike.
(i`ts hard not to ride, but it`s better than permanent damage)

So treat that toe nice for a month and a half, and things will be peachy

 

[Acadian]

a month and a half!!! yikes!! Might have to dust of the good old CX bike

dont worry about it, just find some steel capped shoes if you're really that worried about it. C'mon, be tough!

 

[Acadian]

C'mon, be tough!

hey...I'm Canadian after al ehl...Tough as frozen whale blubber!!

 

[mobius]

it possibly could be broken on the tip but if it isnt black and blue u probably stumped it bad and it should be fine. U could just tape em together ur big and toe next to it with a cotton ball in between thats about it.

Dude, the Woo knows broken.

Upon examining my most recent x-rays, my doctor asks "just how many times have you broken something in this leg?" I made her guess. She still came up short.

 

[Acadian]

Upon examining my most recent x-rays,

since getting back from BM??

 

[kidwoo]

since getting back from BM??

Not yet. Still trying to get my doctor to actually call me back. :mumble:

Its probably a fracture, drink lots of milk and ride!!!.

 

[kidwoo]

Its probably a fracture, drink lots of milk and ride!!!.

But wait at least an hour between those two actions.

 

[Acadian]

Its probably a fracture, drink lots of milk and ride!!!.

dude...I don't think it's possible to drink any more milk than I do now!!

 

[kidwoo]

dude...I don't think it's possible to drink any more milk than I do now!!

I don't think man milk counts. Maybe soy or dairy.

 

[zedro]

I don't think man milk counts. Maybe soy or dairy.

but the extra protein should help muscle growth to support the injured area...

...i'm gonna go puke now

good advice...

I'm pretty sure luc has insurance.

You should see my right pinky toe, it sits so the toenail is perfectly on the side (vertical). I have busted up my big toes also pretty good on rocks many times, just give it time to heal. Out of curiosity were you wearing Intense shoes? Mine seem to have really soft toe boxes...

 

[Acadian]

Out of curiosity were you wearing Intense shoes? Mine seem to have really soft toe boxes...

yes I was...and mine are extremely snug, almost small, which probably didn't help my case

 

[punkassean]

If you shoes are too small, you could just amputate the worthless offending toe. You would have plenty of room in there and it would never get broken again!

just a thought...

I didn't say they WERE too small, just on the snug side

going to have to give up on them tho and get something else..

 

[punkassean]

Givin' 'em up 'cause of the size? Or 'cause they're beat and can't be replaced?

I still think you should just cut it off...

 

[punkassean]

whoa, did your post count reset again?

How many before that happens?

 

[Acadian]

both...they are like 3+ years old, so the sole is not way too soft, offers no support, etc...

I hope 5.10 brings em' back - if now I might go for some Oakley's or Vans.

 

[Acadian]

whoa, did your post count reset again?

no? I've never had many posts!

 

[punkassean]

I do suggest the DC "Alias". THey grip very well and look tits to boot!

DC Alias

Any of the DC's with that same sole will grip the same. You can tell the sole by the wrap up toe part in the front. I have had a pair for over a year now and ireally like them. If you look all over the web you can find many color combos not on the DC homepage I linked.

 

[Acadian]

Not a big DC fan...I just wish 5.10 would come out with their Impact shoe again

I also liked the Rowley XLT's...but it seems like they have been replaced by a newer model, which doesn't seems as nice?

Sorry about the toe, but I don't think you can do anything about those anyway, unless it needs to be set.
As far as shoes, are you talking about the XL2s. Those shoes are the most comfortable shoes ever for kicking it, but I would not ride in them. They are way more flexy than the XLTs. The XL2s basically feel like you have no shoes on.

those are the ones. I have a pair of old beat up XLT's which I like, but when at saw the XL2's at my local Van's shop I was pretty disappointed.

Ya I think I’m just gonna have to give the toe a rest and try not to stub it again!!

 

[Brian HCM#1]

I think if Luc goes to the Dr. they will either place his foot/leg in a walking cast, or one of those walking shoes. If its really discolored I'd go to the Dr. if not give it a few weeks and let it heal on its own.
