Is Your Ring Size the Same as Your Shoe Size
We’ve heard it before: “Your ring size is the same as your shoe size.”
But is it true?
Short answer? No. Your ring size is not the same as your shoe size.
At KRK Jewels, we believe in helping you make smart, informed choices when buying fine jewelry — and that starts with getting the right ring size.
Why People Think Ring and Shoe Sizes Match
This old myth likely came from the idea that body proportions are consistent, so if your fingers are slim, your feet are too. But there’s no scientific link between ring size and shoe size.
Just like people can have large hands and small feet (or vice versa), ring and shoe sizes follow different sizing systems entirely.

Common Ring Size Myths Debunked
-
❌ My ring size is the same as my shoe size.
→ Nope! Completely different measuring systems. -
❌ I can guess my size by looking at my hand.
→ Wrong! You need an accurate measurement or ring sizer. -
❌ Rings can be resized anytime.
→ True, but not always. Eternity bands, pavé settings, or intricate designs can’t be resized easily.
How to Measure Your Ring Size the Right Way
At KRK Jewels, we recommend:
-
Using a Ring Sizer Tool – Order a plastic or metal ring sizer for accurate results.
-
Visiting a Jeweler – Most jewelers can size you in under 5 minutes.
-
Measuring at the Right Time – Your fingers swell in heat or after meals. Measure in the evening for best results.
-
Measuring the Knuckle – Make sure the ring can slide over your knuckle comfortably.
Quick Ring Size Tips:
-
If you’re between two sizes, go for the larger one.
-
For wider bands, size up by ½.
-
Temperature, diet, and even pregnancy can affect ring size.
