CHICAGO -- A study in the October issue of the British Journal of Urology International concludes that the size of a man's penis does not correlate to his shoe size -- despite a popular misconception.

SURVEY Do you agree with the study? Yes, the supposed link is foolish. No, there's definitely a correlation. I've never thought about it. Results  |  Disclaimer

Researchers measured the foot size of men who wear size 8 through 13 shoes and compared the foot size to the size of the men's penises, according to the report.

University of Chicago urologist Dr. Greg Bales told the Chicago Sun-Times that foot length, as well as the size of a man's hand, finger and nose have often been said to correspond to a man's penis size.

"But, in my own observations and from talking to colleagues, there appears to be no obvious correspondence," Bales told the newspaper.

But British researchers continue to look for a link between the length of the penis and the length of other body parts, according to the report.

Bales told the Sun-Times that he's not surprised in the continuing research.

"I worked in the U.K. for six months," Bales told the paper. "There clearly was a greater interest in penile size among the Brits than the Americans."
