How to Measure for an Anklet
Choosing the right anklet size is all about comfort, placement, and how you like it to sit. Use this simple guide before ordering your new anklet.
Find the Right Anklet Fit
Measure where the anklet feels comfortable, then check that it will not pull, catch, or feel tight while walking.
Decide Where You Want It to Sit
There are a couple of common ways to wear an anklet. You may prefer it loosely below the ankle, or sitting more snugly above the ankle.
Loose and comfortable below the ankle.
Snug above the ankle for a closer fit.
Measure with String or Tape
Use a non-flexible tape measure or a piece of string. Wrap it around the part of your ankle where you want the anklet to sit, then measure that length.
Comfort tip: Wear a piece of string around your ankle for a day or two. This helps you decide where the anklet feels best before choosing your size.
Check a 25cm Anklet Fit
A 25cm anklet can be a nice length when you want it to sit neatly around the ankle.
Compare a 27cm Anklet
A 27cm anklet gives a little extra length and can suit a lower, more relaxed way of wearing it.
Be Careful with Looser Fits
A 30cm anklet is a relatively loose fit. This can be comfortable, but it may not suit every shoe style.
Important: If an anklet is too loose, it can catch on shoes, straps, or clothing.
Final Fit Check
Whichever way you prefer to wear your anklet, make sure it does not pull when walking or moving.
💡 Measuring Tip
Measure more than once before ordering. If you are between sizes, think about where you want the anklet to sit and what shoes you usually wear with it.
