An
important aspect that deserves a lot of close attention is the shoe and an
improper fitting shoe will result in damage to the foot that could leave you
crippled for the rest of your life. Not many people realize the importance of a
proper fitting shoe and often end up buying one that does not fit them properly
and buying a new one. This concern with shoes was addressed by Charles F.
Brannock who invented the Brannock device in the year 1925, the de facto
standard used even in the modern age.
The
Brannock device is made of aluminum and has provisions to measure the length
and breadth of the foot, a method to make sure that you have the proper shoes
for your feet. In order to get the accurate measurement of your feet, you need
to stand firmly with both feet placed side by side and you need to make sure
that your feet has expanded to the maximum it would. He part behind the big toe
is the widest part of the foot and this has to be measured to make space for
your shoes to fit your foot when you walk. The Brannock device has been a
successful invention that has been used all over the world by leading shoe
manufacturers till date.
