Foot measuring ruler Malatec model 00016712 — measurement range 0–31 cm

Malatec foot measuring ruler model 00016712 is a compact measuring tool designed to determine foot length within a 0–31 cm range. The device provides a linear, easy-to-read scale that simplifies the process of obtaining accurate foot length measurements for shoe sizing, fittings and basic podiatry checks. Its lightweight construction and portable form factor make it suitable for retail counters, clinic use or home measurement needs.

Advantages

The ruler delivers a clear, continuous metric scale from zero to thirty-one centimetres for straightforward length readings without conversion. Its compact size and low weight allow easy handling and convenient storage when not in use. The design minimises parallax error by offering a visible, flat measurement surface that helps align the heel and toe for repeatable results. Material choice ensures durability for frequent handling in commercial or clinical environments.

Suitable for

• Retail footwear fitting and sizing at shop counters
• Home measurement of children’s and adults’ foot length
• Basic podiatry checks where quick foot length data is required
• Inventory or quality control processes in shoe manufacturing or distribution

Key specifications

• Measurement range: 0–31 cm
• Scale type: linear metric scale in centimetres
• Form factor: compact, portable ruler
• Intended measurement: foot length (heel to longest toe)
• Typical use environments: retail, clinic, home

How to use

Place the ruler on a flat, hard surface and have the person stand with their heel aligned to the zero mark. Ensure the foot is bearing weight for a true length measurement. Read the length at the point of the longest toe on the centimetre scale. Record the measurement and compare with footwear size charts or fitting guides as required. For children, repeat the measurement on both feet and use the larger value for sizing.

Usage recommendations

To improve measurement consistency, measure feet at the end of the day when foot size is typically at its largest, and use the ruler on a flat, stable surface. Clean the measuring surface regularly and store the ruler flat to avoid warping. When fitting footwear, allow for recommended allowance depending on shoe type and intended use.
