The invention relates to the measurement of foot size and shape for the accurate fitting of footwear, and is especially but not exclusively useful for measuring feet having abnormalities. A plastics gauge member (2), preferably of transparent sheet material, is vacuum formed to conform with a last bottom, and the fit of a shoe made on that last is confirmed by insertion of the patient's foot (16) into a recess (6, 10) of the gauge member. A forepart gauge member (12) may also be used. The fitter may observe pressure points through the transparent sheet material where these are caused by foot deformities (18), and mark the locations of these on the gauge to assist in an accurate and comfortable fitting.
