The previous reviewer who gave this product 1 star was right. This product is all plastic, which itself is not bad but when our family placed our order in March of 2011 the product description here on amazon clearly stated "Made of Metal."

Since that time the company has changed the description to take out their lying claim that it is made of metal. (Hey, it's easier than just keeping your promise and delivering a product actually made of metal, right?)

So, it's made of plastic, we were duped, and it's REALLY CHEAP plastic.

The description of the product has been changed to "Made of Lexan." What's Lexan? Plastic. Seems that this company is bent on making sure they mislead people about their cheap plastic product. Don't know why. Some companies are just inherently dishonest, I guess.

This shoe sizer couldn't possibly cost more than one or two dollars to make, so $55 is a complete and total rip-off. Of course they know that, which is why the tell you lies about it being made from metal or Lexan. They don't want to admit it's made of plastic and are purposely trying to mislead consumers.

Why two stars? It measures feet. That claim is true.
