3,500 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″) | 2.18 km · 1.35 mi | 2.17 km · 1.35 mi |
| 155 cm (5′1″) | 2.25 km · 1.40 mi | 2.24 km · 1.39 mi |
| 160 cm (5′3″) | 2.32 km · 1.44 mi | 2.31 km · 1.44 mi |
| 165 cm (5′5″) | 2.40 km · 1.49 mi | 2.39 km · 1.48 mi |
| 170 cm (5′7″) | 2.47 km · 1.53 mi | 2.46 km · 1.53 mi |
| 175 cm (5′9″) | 2.54 km · 1.58 mi | 2.53 km · 1.57 mi |
| 180 cm (5′11″) | 2.61 km · 1.62 mi | 2.60 km · 1.62 mi |
| 185 cm (6′1″) | 2.69 km · 1.67 mi | 2.67 km · 1.66 mi |
| 190 cm (6′3″) | 2.76 km · 1.71 mi | 2.75 km · 1.71 mi |
| 195 cm (6′5″) | 2.83 km · 1.76 mi | 2.82 km · 1.75 mi |
