Usually due to wear and tear. Toenails are subjected to lots of stress and trauma over the years. Another contributing factor is neglect and fungal infections.
To avoid: try maintain good hygiene, cut nails regularly and straight across, dry feet well especially if one is using communal showers or baths or swimming pools and make sure footwear fits properly. Hope this helps
