2. Shoe size - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoe_size

   Standard metric foot sizes can be converted to the nearest Paris point (2 ⁄ 3 cm) sizes using approximate conversion tables; shoes are marked with both foot length in millimetres, as for pointe ballet shoe sizes, and last length in European Paris point sizes (although such converted Stichmaß sizes may come 1 ⁄ 2 to 1 size smaller than ...

   Brannock Device. The Brannock Device is a measuring instrument invented by Charles F. Brannock for measuring a person's shoe size. Brannock spent two years developing a simple means of measuring the length, width, and arch length of the human foot.

   The 37.5 mm length is not derived by a certain scale ratio. While HO scale is a 1:87 scale (3.5 mm to 1 foot), resulting in a 16.5 mm ( 0.65 in) gauge from real life prototype 1,435 mm ( 4 ft 81⁄2 in) standard gauge standard gauge. Conversely, modeling standard gauge in Lego trains would yield a scaling of (37.5:1435 =) 1:38.3.

   As early as 1600, the sizes of these types—their "bodies" [1] —acquired traditional names in English, French, German, and Dutch, usually from their principal early uses. [2] These names were used relative to the others and their exact length would vary over time, from country to country, and from foundry to foundry.

7. Shoe - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoe

   Shoe sizes are indicated by a numerical value representing the length of the shoe, with different systems used globally. European sizes are measured in Paris Points, while the UK and American units are based on whole-number sizes spaced at one barleycorn (1/3 inch) with UK adult sizes starting at size 1 = 8 + 2 ⁄ 3 in (22.0 cm).
