    Hi,

    After doing some searching here on the forums and www I am struggling to find any potential datasets for foot morphological measures. In a similar way to WHO or NHANES data, perhaps that's a weak comparison.

    Can anyone suggest a large dataset of lengths, breadths, widths and heights etc that I could compare some research data to?

    Appreciative of any suggestions in advance.

    Rik

    Not of feet but of individual bones - I have in spades. You are welcome to. I have about 1000 modernish humans from all over the Globe, 70 chimpanzees, the same in gorillas, and a little less in orangutan. A data set of dimensions is available for the talus (21) calcaneus (13), cuboid and navicular (9 each), medial cuneiform (8). all dimensions are in mm apart from two of the talus in degrees. You are welcome to these if you want - contact me; they are all tested and published in refereed journals, including Science.
