We will be able to tell more when the shoes come off. For now I have bulleted initial observations.
Right Hind Front, Left Hind Front
- Both hinds show stress lines
- The divergence in angle is clearly seen at the top of each foot
Right Hind Side, Left Hind Side
- Bull noses on both hinds
- Cracks around nail holes, especially on left hind, these appear infected
- Heel is contracted
Right Hind Heel, Left Hind Heel
- I can't find the right words to describe what I see, so please compare these heels with those of a robust, healthy barefooter
Right Hind Sole, Left Hind Sole
- Heels are somewhat contracted
- Frogs look weak and thrushy
- Shoes are impinging on frogs
- Both toes are crumbling, there is a deep cavity under the shoe which is full of black, smelly gunk
