Need help from someone with UK size 5 feet!

Sorry for the probably very weird thread!

I'm knitting some socks for my mum's birthday pressie and am not sure how long to make them. She's a size 5 and I wondered if some kind OSer would mind measuring their foot for me! What I need is the length of your foot from heel to the tip of the toe (preferably in inches).

I would be very grateful and will send a huge virtual hug your way if you can help me out :rotfl:

    I make it about nine and a half inches!
    Can't believe I just got my sewing box out and measured my foot!!

    Hehe.. this made my smile, where else could you ask someone to measure their foot for you!

    I'm glad Soapy955 could help - I couldn't as I'm a huge size 8!

    Had to look at this thread to see what it was about, and then measure my feet. Agree 9.5 inches. Something I have never measured before but amusing anyway.
