And prior to trimming, it was also higher from the sole too. Not sure if this was a compensatory growth, as it would be if the leg were a different length, or if it was because the habit of the foot was causing it to wear differently.

He was quite sore and when I looked at his knees I saw that the left knee was about a quarter inch lower than the right one. I guess I'll be leaving the heels on that club foot a little higher from now on.smazourekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029180368325070266noreply@blogger.com
