Was walking thru the carpeted living room bare-foot this am and felt a sharp sting in my heel. The carpet is fairly new and in excellent shape...low nap.
I pulled this thing out of my heel...the shorter end is as sharp as a small nail. I was not picking my feet up good while walking and it enabled the thing to slide right under the skin of my heel.
I googled carpet tacks and didn't see any that looked like this one. But if it's not...what is it?
