Abstract
A boot with an integrated ruler in a first embodiment features true measurement markings corresponding to standard measurement units positioned vertically on a foot portion extending to a shaft of the boot, and in a second embodiment, the measurement markings are visual indicators on the foot portion of the boot, that may in some other embodiments correspond with the vertical measurement markings in the first embodiment. In another embodiment, the boot features a moisture sensitive exterior that when exposed to water, changes color or pattern in conjunction with the integrated ruler as further way to incorporate measurement markings into the boot.
