Sizing & Measuring Instructions
Step #1: Photograph the participant’s feet
Stand bare-foot on a different colored background for contrast. Be sure to get a photo of the front, back and sides to show the arch or lack of arch of the foot. Include a picture up to the thighs showing the angle of the leg going down to the foot.
Examples of photographs needed:
Step #2: Draw the participant’s feet
Draw a foot pattern of each foot by holding the pen or pencil upright to go around the outside of the foot. Measure the foot with a ruler and mark next to the drawing. Please take a picture of the drawing with a ruler next to it. This ensures the measurements are accurate as scanned/faxed items can become distorted in size.
Examples of tracing and finished drawing needed:
Note: If the person wears orthotics (AFOs, RGOs, or SMOs), then the pictures and drawings should be completed with the orthotics on.
