Abstract
A device includes a first arm, a second arm, and a lateral arm. The first arm may include a first length, a first socket disposed at a distal end, and a length fit indicator disposed at a proximal end. The second arm may include a second length, a first indication ball disposed at a distal end, and a first insertion point able to couple with the first socket. In addition, the second arm may include a second socket. The lateral arm may comprise a third length, a second indication ball, and a second insertion point to couple with the second socket.

A device for shoe measurement comprising:
- a first arm having a first length, a first socket disposed at a distal end of the first length, and an indicator disposed at a proximal end of the first length;
- and
- a second arm coupled to the first arm using the socket;
- wherein the indicator includes:
- a housing coupled to the first arm, wherein the housing includes an opening disposed therethrough;
- a rod that extends through the opening, wherein the rod is movable with respect to the opening;
- a ring coupled to a proximal end of the rod;
- a compression spring on the same side of the housing as the ring, wherein the rod passes through the center of the compression spring;
- and
- a scale disposed on the first arm of the device to indicate a fit of a shoe.

A method of measuring fit of a shoe, the method comprising:
- assembling a device for shoe measurement, wherein the device for shoe measurement incudes:
- a first arm having a first length, a first socket disposed at a distal end of the first length, and an indicator disposed at a proximal end of the first length;
- and
- a second arm coupled to the first arm using the socket;
- wherein the indicator includes:
- a housing coupled to the first arm, wherein the housing includes an opening disposed therethrough;
- a rod that extends through the opening, wherein the rod is movable with respect to the opening;
- a ring coupled to a proximal end of the rod;
- a compression spring on the same side of the housing as the ring, wherein the rod passes through the center of the compression spring;
- and
- a scale disposed on the first arm of the device to indicate a fit of a shoe, inserting the device into a shoe;
- activating the compression spring of the indicator such that the ring of the indicator contacts a heel of the shoe;
- and
- determining a fit of the shoe based on the scale.
