A little science in your living room
A little background: my mum reckons that we (me and her) have an unusually wide heel depth in comparison to the rest of our feet. I would like to approach this in a scientific manner, and so I need some external help.
I need three measurements: heel depth, foot circumference and ankle circumference. I have ably enlisted the help of my foot to demonstrate what I mean (but use a tape measure not a piece of elastic like I did!)
Measurement 1:
Measurement 2:
Measurement 3:
I'd love it if you could take these three measurements (with foot length/shoe size optional) and email me or leave me a comment. These can be in centimetres or inches, and the shoe size can be European/UK/US/Japanese/Klingon - I have the power to do the conversion. Well, a clever little table, anyway! I'll then do some magical jiggery-pokery with some stats software and I'll see if there is any correlation! Yes, I'm a geek. This is an established fact, and I'm fine with it. Really, I'm fine with it.

But I think my foot is weird, too. Feet are weird

My measurements are as follows:
By
#1 - 30 cm
#2 - 20.5 cm
#3 - 21 cm
I wear a size 7 or 6.5 (Canadian/US) and the length of my foot is 23.5 cm.
I'm looking forward to seeing your analysis! Robin, at Friday, 08 September, 2006

Will the results change building regulations ?????
By
1- 29 cm
2- 22 cm
3- 24 cm
length 21.3 cm
Does that hinder or help.
Be warned...I was left alone to do the measuring and I am generally not allowed to operate mathematical machinery on my own!!! MrsDrWho, at Tuesday, 12 September, 2006
