Brannock Device [1] Brannock Device at shoe museum in Zlín, Czechia 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 recent formula used by the Brannock device assumes a foot length of 2 barleycorns less than the length of the last; thus, men's size 1 is equivalent to a last's length of 8 + 1 ⁄ 3 in (21.17 cm) and foot's length of 7 + 2 ⁄ 3 in (19.47 cm), and children's size 1 is equivalent to 4 + 1 ⁄ 4 in (10.8 cm) last's length and 3 + 7 ⁄ 12 in ...
