Admit it, you cried ; Columbia Redmond III hiking shoes? I hate working with scrapwood mainly because of this and splinters. |

I did this when i was 4 or 5, except i was barefoot and the nail went all the way through. I ran bloody footprints up and down the verandah while Mum rang around for a ride to the hospital.

Re: Laceration of Foot/sole Due to Rusty Nail
One time when I was a kid, I climbed a simple between-yards fence, but couldn't make it over and had to slide back down the side I'd attempted it from. There was a long nail sticking out of my side of the fence, RIGHT where I'd tried, that I hadn't seen: it skip-puncture-caught my chest otw down 4 times, the final one hung me up toes-touching, I had to push myself down/OFF of it. Luckily just flesh wounds, no rib cage penetration. Kids are effin' indestructible (so they think, having never known any different.....)  |

Re: Laceration of Foot/sole Due to Rusty Nail
 I didn't but to be honest I thought the damage was much worse as it felt like it hooked into the skin. The hiking shoes are my old worn out Columbia Crestwood, so close! I wore them because they could get dirty as I have to throw them out but I realized if they were new(er) the nail might not have pierced through the sole. We were carrying a really heavy 'log' though so it could have been worse although without this log I would have weighed much less. The irony was that I told my cousin 30 seconds earlier that I had to be careful not to trip walking backwards, he then suggested we trade places   |

Re: Laceration of Foot/sole Due to Rusty Nail
It's good that you didn't cry but there would have been no shame in it. Did they give you a sticker when you went to the hospital?

Re: Laceration of Foot/sole Due to Rusty Nail
I can’t believe it’s healed now. I honestly could not walk Friday evening and during Saturday. Even on Sunday I was limping  |
