Show MEASURE FEET CORRECTLY Device, Invented by Massachusetts Man, Equipped with Tape, Fits Closely Around Foot. Custom-made shoes arep likely to be more comfortable through the Invention Inven-tion of a Massachusetts man. Where formerly the cordwainer was obliged to rely largely on his own judgment i l - u LJ To Measure Feet. and on such measurements as he could obtain with a right-angle rule and a tape measure, he now has a device by which the correct measurements measure-ments of all important parts of the foot can be procured in a few minutes. min-utes. There is a heel-piece and sole of soft leather, the former running up well above the ankle. Small tape measures run through slots in both pieces of leather and when the foot Is adjusted in the device the tapes are drawn over and around it and the measurements noted. The advantage of this contrivance is that instead of each measurement being taken separately, sepa-rately, all are taken in proper relation rela-tion to each other and when the foot is in the natural position it should occupy in the shoe. The result should be that the shoe is more comfortable. |
