Expert analysis

A shoes measuring 13 in × 8 in × 5 in fits in a container, with about 4 ft 4 in to spare at the tightest point. The binding dimension is width: in its best-fitting orientation, the width is what comes closest to the limit, and it still clears. The persisted calculation steps support the reported tightest-point margin. That margin already subtracts a <1 in handling allowance, so it reflects a realistic load rather than a paper-thin theoretical fit. One caveat: assuming 0.1" wall thickness (typical cardboard).

How we verified this

Binding axis: Length
Tightest clearance: 1 ft 7 in clear
Result: Every axis clears

+4 ft 4 in clearance

· ON THE WIDTH AXIS

It fits with clearance on every axis.

Every axis clears the opening — width is the tightest.
A <1 in handling allowance is already subtracted.
No tilting or compression needed.

AVolume inequality✓ PASS

\sum V_{\text{item}} \;\le\; V_{\text{container}}

↓ SUBSTITUTE

483 \;\overset{?}{\le}\; 113357

Plain English: Packed together the item fills about 0% of the space's volume — plenty of room by volume.

↓ EVALUATE

4.7\,\text{in} \;\le\; 23.8\,\text{in} \;\Longrightarrow\; \Delta = +19.1\,\text{in}

Plain English: Along the length, the item is 4.7 in and the space allows 23.8 in — 19.1 in to spare.

Plain English: Along the width, the item is 7.9 in and the space allows 59.8 in — 51.9 in to spare.

DAxis inequality · height✓ PASS

How the container-fit check works

A container is a fully 3D box — length, width, AND height must accept the item simultaneously; corner reachability is a soft second constraint.

Treat the container as a 3D box and generate the item’s 6 dimension permutations (3 axes × 2 flips).
For each permutation, apply the constraint: item ≤ container on length, width, and height simultaneously.
Check reachability — items longer than arm’s reach can’t be loaded all the way into the back corners.
Subtract 1.5 in handling clearance on each axis for the mover’s grip plus pivot room.
Verdict ladder (verdict-tiers.js, shared with door): FITS ≥ 2 in; FITS_TIGHT 0.5–2 in; FITS_VERY_TIGHT 0–0.5 in; DOESN'T_FIT below.

Interior dimensions use the published spec; door rails, ribs, and floor lashings can shave 1–2 in off the usable corners.
