“I think my husband/wife needs to get in here. How can I convince him/her?”
This is a common request.
Try this.
Take your partner by the hand and lead them into the bedroom.
Have your spouse wear hard-soled shoes and lie across the bed, face down, with arms their relaxed at each side and feet hanging off the edge.
Apply equal pressure with your thumbs to the arches both shoes. Are both legs of equal length when the bottoms of the shoes are parallel?
Bend both legs to a 90-degree angle so that the bottoms of the shoes are parallel with the ceiling. Does one leg appear shorter?
In either case, a difference greater than a quarter-inch is significant and necessitates a more thorough examination.
