Abstract
A method comprises arranging a measurement paper. The measurement paper may include a plurality of lines to aid in centering a foot. The method may further include tracing a foot onto the measurement paper and making a plurality of measurements on the traced foot. Based on the plurality of measurements, shoe fit evaluator may be constructed.
Claims18
A method, comprising:
- arranging a measurement paper;
- tracing a foot onto the measurement paper;
- making a plurality of measurements on the traced foot;
- and
- constructing, based on the plurality of measurements on the traced foot, a shoe fit evaluator comprising a plurality of shoe fit evaluator pieces including a plurality of balls and rods, by:
- determining the length of the rods to be used, the diameter of the balls to be used for simulation of various features, and the angles at which the rods and the balls should be disposed with respect to each other,
- selecting the plurality of shoe fit evaluator pieces;
- and
- joining the selected shoe fit evaluator pieces to simulate the at least one feature of the foot.

A method, comprising:
- arranging a measurement paper;
- taking a plurality of photographs of a foot, wherein the foot is placed on the measurement paper;
- and
- uploading the plurality of photographs to a processing system, wherein the system further comprises:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions executable by the processor to:
- receive the plurality of photographs of the foot;
- standardize a plurality of measurements from the plurality of photographs to determine a standardized set of measurements;
- receive input from an evaluator;
- and
- compiling the received photographs, the standardized set of measurements, and the input received from the evaluator;
- and
- determine a design for a shoe fit evaluator wherein the shoe fit evaluator consists of a plurality of interconnecting structural components comprising a plurality of shoe fit evaluator pieces including a plurality of balls and rods, and the shoe fit evaluator simulates at least one feature of the foot, by:
- determining the length of the rods to be used, the diameter of the balls to be used for simulation of various features, and the angles at which the rods and the balls should be disposed with respect to each other;
- executing the instructions by the processing system and determining the design for the shoe fit evaluator;
- and
- manufacturing the shoe fit evaluator by:
- selecting the plurality of shoe fit evaluator pieces;
- and
- joining the selected shoe fit evaluator pieces to simulate the at least one feature of the foot.

A method, comprising:
- scanning a foot;
- transmitting data of the scan to a first processor;
- processing the data at the first processor to standardize the data;
- and
- uploading the scan to a processing system, wherein the system further comprises:
- a second processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions executable by the second processor to:
- receive the scan of the foot;
- standardize data from the scan;
- receive input from an evaluator;
- and
- determine a design for a shoe fit evaluator, wherein the shoe fit evaluator consists of a plurality of interconnecting structural components comprising a plurality of shoe fit evaluator pieces including a plurality of balls and rods, and the shoe fit evaluator simulates at least one feature of the foot, by:
- determining the length of the rods to be used, the diameter of the balls to be used for simulation of various features, and the angles at which the rods and the balls should be disposed with respect to each other;
- executing the instructions by the processing system and determining the design for the shoe fit evaluator;
- and
- manufacturing the shoe fit evaluator by:
- selecting the plurality of shoe fit evaluator pieces;
- and
- joining the selected shoe fit evaluator pieces to simulate the at least one feature of the foot.
