how to figure out ring size from shoe size
Rings are often a sign of a commitment. There's the engagement ring, the wedding band, and then family heirlooms. But what if you don't know your ring size? Or your partner doesn't have their measurements memorized? You're stuck with one option: online shopping for rings in sizes that fit without any idea about how to determine your size on your own.

But it doesn't have to be that way. There is a simple strategy for finding out what size ring you should be buying: use as many indicators as possible from shoe sizes, and find something similar in weight and width (or circumference).Measure a finger that you wear a ring on, that's about 4 inches long. Then measure the circumference of your finger twice with a soft tape measure without stretching it.
The answer is going to be somewhere in between these two measurements (the final number is going to be larger than one). This number tells you what your ring size is and can also help you find a certain ring size online by giving you an idea of what other customers are saying about it.
Have you ever been trying desperately to find a ring that fits and you just can't? Then it's time for the back-to-front method. This ensures that the ring can be well positioned on your finger, rather than sliding off like a bad banana suit.Most people will want to know their ring size prior to buying any rings.
This is because the majority of rings are sold in standard sizes (rings come in different widths, but they are only available in whole sizes e.g. 6, 7, 8 etc.). Most people would also want to buy rings which fit them best and don't need alterations by a jeweller which often comes at an additional cost.

Sometimes the ring size your jeweller recommends is different from the shoe size, and it can be tough to figure out how to go about this. If you've got a woman's shoe size, how do you figure out what that means for ring size? And if you have a man's shoe size, how do you know which one leads to which ring sizes?The simple answer is that one shoe size would equal one half of the waist measurement in inches. So if your woman's shoe size is 8.5, then her waist circumference would be 36.5 inches and her ring circumference would be 8 inches.
