Just to comment on my own personal experiences with SOG on toes. I wear it personally and have for about two years solid. When I skated in roller derby, I was doing jumping jacks on my skates, on my toe stops at least three times a week as part of our warm ups. I never experienced a crack in any toe nail, nor any damage. The same could not be said for some girls who's tootsies were naked. I really feel that the ManiQ (SOG) on my toe nails protected it.
