The invention relates to measurement technology and is intended for measuring the shape, the internal dimensions and the flexibility of shoes. The proposed measurement method consists in using probes with indicators, which create tension on the measured surface. A camera and a flat marking band are used for tracing the shape of the internal surface of a shoe. On the basis of the sum of the images, a three-dimensional model of the internal surface of the tested shoe is made, and the flexibility properties are determined by scanning the object with different forces. A device comprises a body, a camera mounted therein, two or more probes with indicators, and a flat marking band. The invention makes it possible to increase accuracy and to reduce the labor intensiveness and time of measurements.

A shoe-fit testing device includes a pseudo skeletal structure and a pseudo soft tissue structure. The pseudo skeletal structure approximates the bone structure of a human foot and ankle, and the pseudo soft tissue structure encompasses the pseudo skeletal structure. The shoe-fit testing device is capable of transitioning between a compressed state and an uncompressed state. In the uncompressed state, the shoe-fit testing device has a joint girth that is measured at a first value. In the compressed state, the shoe fit testing device has a joint girth that is measured at a second value that is less than the first value. As such, the shoe-fit testing device approximates the flexibility and compressibility of the human foot without requiring a live model.

A footwear measuring device and a method for providing a service thereof are provided. The method includes acquiring information on a footwear internal space and deformation information of the footwear internal space from a measuring device inserted into the footwear, generating three-dimensional (3D) information including a plurality of specific points based on the information on the footwear internal space and the deformation information, and comparing the generated 3D information with pre-stored information on a user foot and providing matching information of the footwear with respect to the user foot based on a result of the comparing.

A measuring device is disclosed which can be used in mass production of shoes. The device includes two parts: the first one is for measurement of the shoe width and girth having movable elements and the second one, which is mechanically connected with the first one, is positioned in a heel section of the shoe. The device also allows determining how tight movable elements fit to internal surface of the shoe. The first part is made in the form of a measuring head with movable cheeks and tongue placed on the toe rod, and the second part is in the form of a rod with a support roller. The mechanical connection between the parts is made in the form of a device angle measurement unit. The angle measurement unit is made using a single-turn absolute encoder. The technical result is in an increase of the accuracy of measurements.

A robotic coordinate measurement machine (CMM) having a contact direction sensitive (CDS) probe is usable to detect internal dimensions for an object of interest. A robot arm may contact a surface with the CDS probe which may then detect a magnitude and direction of the resulting reaction force. The robotic CMM may monitor the magnitude and/or direction of the reaction force while the CDS probe is being slide across a surface to determine dimensions for the surface. Changes in the reaction force sensed by the CDS probe may be used to identify contact with other surfaces of contours in the surface the CDS probe is being slid across. A path of the CDS probe may be altered based on the contact with other surfaces or the contours.
