While some ingrown toenails are caused by injuries or heredity, the majority are the result of poorly fitted footwear, improperly trimmed toenails, and the man-made materials in socks and shoes. Therefore, ingrown toenails can be avoided in most cases by wearing shoes that fit well, by trimming toenails straight across, and, if these measures are not enough, by wearing socks and shoes made of natural materials and fibers.
