Abstract
The invention is a foot measurement apparatus suitable for mailing to individuals. The measurement apparatus includes a base with a scale, a first abutment attached to the base, and a second abutment that is movably-attached to the base. In an assembled configuration, the first and second abutments extend outward from the base and contact the foot to measure, for example, the length or width of the foot. In a collapsed configuration, however, the first and second abutments collapse against the base in order to decrease the size of the measurement apparatus, thereby facilitating mailing.
