Abstract
An apparatus for measuring the dimensions of pairs of human feet and a method for carrying out the measurements using the apparatus is described. The device is based on two light emitter/detector pairs. The emitter/detector pairs are caused to move in mutually orthogonal directions in order to measure the length of the longest foot and the width of each foot in the pair of feet being measured.
