    How big are your ankles?
    All my friends have been saying that my ankles are very small, they're a little under 6 inches. i just wanted to know what the average size is and if maybe i can get them to be bigger :/ it looks even weirder because i'm 5'5.

    I've not measured them but just from observation I have rather chunky ankles Which is odd because I have really thin wrists :confused:

    You know, of all the thoughts that I have had in my life, the millions, maybe even billions of even the most fleeting flashes of psychological activity - not once, not once, have I ever thought about the size of my ankles.

    Depends on your height.

    And I wouldn't use myself as a benchmark, I have a tiny frame, tiny wrists, tiny ankles and tiny hands :/

    Hun, just be thankful you don't have hugely fat ankles that spill over the sides of your shoes x

    Brilliant thread. :grin:

    I'll remember to measure mine in the morning.

    I don't think the size matters much, but if you gain weight overall your ankles may get bigger.

    Edit: I just remembered to measure them. They're 3.9 inches. Hope yours don't feel so small anymore!

    Can't believe I just got a tape measure out to measure my ankle circumference for you, OP Mine are 8" and I'm 5ft10, so proportionally we probably look similar. I'm sure your ankles look lovely- and besides, people don't tend to stare at ankles when they pass you in the street so I don't think you should worry about them

    So since almost everyone's made the effort to measure their ankles and because I got curious of my own measurement, I thought I'd finally join the bandwagon. I'm 5'2 and my ankles are 8". Err is that normal? :/
