And I STILL disagree.

How can the shoes or socks be used to guage the size of the bones when you don't even know the size of the shoes and socks?

Is that a child's small size 4 shoe? Or is it an adults large size 16 shoe? If you knew THAT then, yes, a better idea could be gotten of the bone length from them. But who knows what size the shoes are?

Call me dumb, but I don't understand the logic behind determining the bone length by something else that you don't even know the size of (the shoes and socks). That just makes no sense whatsoever to me.

my idea offered guesstimation if nothing else, rather than a precise estimate. this is the whole premise of what my idea offered since there's no better information offered aside from the photo posted.

let's equate x as the height of the shoes minus the humongous soles.

let's give this x a value of 1 inch, even a mile if you wish to.

sock's about 3x the shoe height, divide bone lenght by shoe height. still not drawing any idea (again, not definitive) on their correlation to the bones lenght?

as how i find your opinion valid,, mine merits the same token.

The soles of the shoes hasn't got anything to do with the length of the tibia and fibula. You can see where the ankle would be.. the clunky heels make no difference.. well, unless the person was standing.

Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean, Dropone.

was implying about the soles of the shoes like the creeper below,, yes i am aware the tibia and fibula aren't placed way down, perhaps metatarsal and the space left by the now gone flesh surrounding them metatarsal bones?

Yes, of course.

I apologise if I'm sounding dismissive of your ideas and shooting them down too quick.. that's not what I'm intending. I'm listening to what you're saying and trying to take it into account.

[RogueTrader]

Okay.. but what I'm saying is, like even with that creeper shoe, the ankle is above the lip of the shoe. So whatever size the heel is makes no difference, it has no bearing on the length from ankle to knee.

reason why i've "stripped" them from the overall (hypothetical) height of them shoes.

[RogueTrader]

Yeah, but that's what I'm not understanding. How do you figure that the shoe's heel height makes a difference to anything?

we are looking at the same photo,, i'm just saying if i put the height of the shoe to be at least 2 inches, then at least i have something in my hands to work with guesstimating the lenght of the lower leg, give it a few more inches tolerance to satisfy blind spots. this i feel kind'a give me at least an idea how big or tall the owner of those limbs.

unless the owner was morbidly obese.

Ohhhh.. Okay, I see now! You're using the heel as a yardstick! Lol gotcha!

Okay, so how many inches do you figure the bones to be in length?

Lol I'm gonna go measure mine and compare.. we'll see if the bones are "short."

yardstick!!! god, the word delivered!

as for the lenght of the foot,,,

the ratio of the hand against hand till elbow is related to pi, or to be more blunt, fibonacci. whole body's broken down in the same sequence, can we then apply the same to the foot against the tibia-fibula?
