Abstract: A device for providing assistance in measuring the size of the foot. The foot gauge has a foot support plate having a single graduated scale per foot; a transverse first bearing face for the heel; a longitudinal second bearing face for the inside of the foot; and a moving assembly comprising a “transverse” first abutment for coming into contact with the front end of the foot, at the toes, and a “longitudinal” second abutment for coming into contact with the outside of the foot, and a measurement identifier member the size on the graduated scale. The moving assembly moves in a rectilinear or curved direction that is oblique relative to the longitudinal second bearing face, e.g. at an angle a, in its rectilinear portion, that lies in the range of 13° to 20°, and is preferably equal to 14.3°.

Abstract: The device or gauge for measuring the size of the foot comprises: a) a foot support plate having a single graduated scale per foot; b) a transverse first bearing face for the heel; c) a longitudinal second bearing face for the inside of the foot; and d) a moving assembly comprising a “transverse” first abutment for coming into contact with the front end of the foot, at the toes, and a “longitudinal” second abutment for coming into contact with the outside of the foot, and measurement identifier means for identifying the size on the graduated scale. The moving assembly moves in a rectilinear or curved direction that is oblique relative to the longitudinal second bearing face, e.g. at an angle ?, in its rectilinear portion, that lies in the range 13° to 20°, and is preferably equal to 14.3°.
