This current, now four weeks, of gout in my right foot has left my right toe joint much bigger than my left.
Measured across the joints at the widest part:
Left foot 100mm
Right foot 110mm
Measured the height of the big toe joint:
Left foot 40mm
Right foot 45mm
No wonder I can't get my work boots on!
I wonder if I can 'stretch' the boot leather a bit, without damaging the boot, or having issues with the steel toe cap?
