FOOTNOTES:

[5] A measurement for such cases may be taken by drawing the strap-measure from the point of the instep around the heel, to give the size, while the distance between the same two points, in a straight line, should be taken by the size-stick, in the same way we take the length of the foot, to show how far forward the point of the instep ought to be located on the last. The measure around the foot at the latter place must also be taken.
