Scale for big feet

Firedrake2001

During a recent visit my brother was complaining about how small scales are. He has size 15 feet and they don't fit on the weighing surface of any of the scales he has tried (which leads him to believe that he is not getting an accurate measurement).

Do any of you know of a reliable model that can comfortably fit guys with large feet?

Please explain to the poor lad that his toes don't have to be directly over a scale's base to be accurate, as long as they aren't supported by anything else.

If he insists on being anti-science, just cut a piece of plywood the length of his feet and put it on the scale for him to stand on

The weight will be the same with or without the toes hanging over.

size 15? size 16? how many centimetres is that?

but yeah let your toes hang over the edge would be fine, just be consistent i guess.

Buy 2 scales and put one foot on each (angled) and add the 2.

My husband wears size 22 shoes and he's 7 feet tall. They seem to fit his height pretty well I guess!

If it was just the toes it probably wouldn't be too bad, but when it's your toes, heels and sides of your feet (he has wide ones) I can see how it would be uncomfortable.

I'm sorry this is someone's problem, but I laughed when I saw the title of the thread.
