Toenails grow to protect the tips of our toes and provide support for them. They are made of a protein called keratin, which helps to strengthen and shield the sensitive skin underneath. This helps prevent injuries and infections, and also aids in gripping and balance while walking or running.

My toenails definitely grow faster than my fingernails. I must be one of the unusual people in this world because everything I read sayd that fingernails grow faster. I know for a fact that my toenails grow faster, but I have no idea why. I wish my fingernails would grow as fast as my toenails!

That's why it seems to some people that their toenails are growing faster than their fingernails; Fingernails are more susceptible to breakage because they are thinner.
