To protect your toes?

We have toenails to protect the skin inside of the toenail! It protects us from infections, toe fungus (in some ways, unless you're just not caring for your feet) , and harming of or puncturing the skin inside of the toenail!

To hold the toenail polish.
Kidding, I don't know either, but it is probably to protect our toes.

they're supposed to be a defense mechanism, though due to our evolution they don't do much in the way of ripping into someone elses flesh...we're lucky if it can draw some blood in the person before they snap backwards. but they do provide mild protection to the finger tips.

i always wondered that.
I guess if we have finger nails, then we have to have toes nails
we came from apes and they have finger and toe nails so i guess
it goes back to that.
feet gross me out i always said that i wish we didnt have toes
just square-ed off feet
