A measurement device that allows all users to conveniently and discreetly determine appropriate general footwear measurements at any age is disclosed. The device may include a housing having a contact edge configured to receive the heel or a first side edge of the user's foot, a retractable tape configured to extend outwardly from the housing, and a toe flange proximate the distal end of the retractable tape that is configured to receive the toe or a second side edge of the user's foot. The retractable tape may have indicia of barleycorn units of measurement that can easily be used to determine footwear sizes (length and width) in English speaking countries.

The telescopic measuring device is a tool that enables a user to measure distances that might otherwise be beyond their reach. A measuring blade contained within a housing may be extended until a wear block at one end of the telescopic measuring device and an end hook at the other and of the telescopic measuring device span the distance to be measured. The measuring blade may then be locked into position using a clocking clamp and the measured distance may be read through a sighting window where a sight line will align with measurement indicia on the measuring blade.

A measuring device which reduces reading errors caused by parallax. The measuring device has a gauge head abutting against an object to be measured, and includes a pointer-type display part which displays displacement of the gauge head obtained by being enlarged by an enlarging mechanism and being converted into a rotation amount of a pointer. The measuring device further includes a transparent cover plate provided so as to cover the pointer-type display part, and the cover plate has an antireflection film on the surface. The cover plate further has an antifouling film on the antireflection film. The cover plate has a flat surface.
