Conclusion: This study demonstrates that digital photo anthropometry is an easy, economical, reliable, quick and precise method. The image archives can be reused in future by researches to gain other data’s, without referring to the subjects. Also, using this method for foot anthropometry with designation and medical goals is an appropriate substitute for traditional methods. This investgation can be an introduction for wider researches with modern methods in order to get Iranian anthropometry data bank for foot dimensions.
