17,000 steps to km by height
Distance depends on step length, which is roughly proportional to height. This table uses the common estimate of height × 0.415 for men and height × 0.413 for women, at a normal walking pace.
| Height | Men | Women |
|---|---|---|
| 150 cm (4′11″) | 10.58 km · 6.58 mi | 10.53 km · 6.54 mi |
| 155 cm (5′1″) | 10.94 km · 6.79 mi | 10.88 km · 6.76 mi |
| 160 cm (5′3″) | 11.29 km · 7.01 mi | 11.23 km · 6.98 mi |
| 165 cm (5′5″) | 11.64 km · 7.23 mi | 11.58 km · 7.20 mi |
| 170 cm (5′7″) | 11.99 km · 7.45 mi | 11.94 km · 7.42 mi |
| 175 cm (5′9″) | 12.35 km · 7.67 mi | 12.29 km · 7.63 mi |
| 180 cm (5′11″) | 12.70 km · 7.89 mi | 12.64 km · 7.85 mi |
| 185 cm (6′1″) | 13.05 km · 8.11 mi | 12.99 km · 8.07 mi |
| 190 cm (6′3″) | 13.40 km · 8.33 mi | 13.34 km · 8.29 mi |
| 195 cm (6′5″) | 13.76 km · 8.55 mi | 13.69 km · 8.51 mi |
