FootBreadth

How to measure

Application

Used in footwear width categorisation (narrow, standard, wide, extra-wide) and orthotic design.

Posture

Stand with weight evenly distributed on both feet.

Landmark

Measured at the widest point of the foot, across the ball.

Tool

Rigid ruler or Brannock device.

Common mistake
