Life Size Ruler with Centimeters and Inches: A Guide to Accurate Measurement

When it comes to measuring your feet, using a life size ruler with centimeters and inches is the most precise way to get an accurate measurement. Unlike using a ruler with only inches, which can be prone to errors, a ruler with both centimeters and inches provides a more reliable and consistent measurement.

To start, mark the tip of your big toe and the outermost part of your heel on the floor. Then, use a life size ruler or measuring tape to measure the distance between these two points. It's common for people's feet to be slightly different sizes, so it's essential to take both measurements separately.

For added accuracy, consider enlisting the help of another person to assist with this step. Additionally, make sure to wear the same pair of socks you plan to wear with your shoes, as feet tend to swell throughout the day and may have a slightly larger measurement in the evening.

Once you've taken both measurements, use a pen or pencil to trace the outline of your foot on paper. Sit down and place one foot on the paper, making sure your knees are slightly bent. Secure the paper with tape to prevent it from slipping.

When printing your ruler, avoid using the 'fit to page,' 'scale to fit,' or 'fill entire paper' options, as these can cause the image to be printed larger or smaller than its actual size. Instead, set the page scaling to 'none' or the scale to '100%' for accurate results.

Our printable life size ruler with centimeters and inches is designed to provide an exact measurement of your feet without any scaling. You can also use this ruler to measure longer distances by printing multiple copies and taping them together. For added flexibility, print the ruler on lighter weight paper, which is ideal for crafts or sewing projects.

If you need a more rigid ruler that will last longer, consider printing it on cardstock or heavy paper. To ensure the accuracy of your printout, test the size by measuring another sheet of paper (a standard letter-sized paper should measure exactly 8.5 inches x 11 inches).

With our printable life size ruler with centimeters and inches, you can get an accurate measurement of your feet without any hassle. Whether you're looking to purchase shoes or create a custom fit for your feet, this ruler provides the precision you need to make informed decisions.
