I'm sure many bowlers suffer from this, your big toe on your front leg when bowling slamming into the end off your boot and basically smashing it to pieces. I have the dame problem every year it bruises terribly and the nail ends up coming off. Other than cutting a hole in your boot does anyone have any tips/ ways they prevent it? Peronally I tape a bit of sponge to the end of my toe and it sort of stops the issue but not entirely.

Bowl spin

I wear two or three pairs of socks, but for some reason it doesn't really affect me too much.

I'm certain i've just jinxed the rest of my life.

After how my legs feel from running in on Saturday I wish I did bowl spin!

Know the problem well. Typically my big toenail on my landing foot falls off once per year. Has done ever since playing on an artificial in a pair of crap rubbers at the end of which my toe was bleeding....

Comes with the territory I'd say. Many of the international fast bowlers of yore cut a hole in the toe of their bowling boot to save their own.
