Abstract
A shoe containing two scales entirely housed within its sole, which scales may be deployed downward so that they project beneath the shoe'"'"'s sole—making the scales thereby able to accurately weigh the wearer as the wearer briefly stands only upon the thus deployed scales. After such a weight determination, the scales may be retracted—once again housed entirely within the shoe'"'"'s sole—making the shoe ready to be worn and used in any and all conventional manners.
