4,000 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″) | 2.49 km · 1.55 mi | 2.48 km · 1.54 mi |
| 155 cm (5′1″) | 2.57 km · 1.60 mi | 2.56 km · 1.59 mi |
| 160 cm (5′3″) | 2.66 km · 1.65 mi | 2.64 km · 1.64 mi |
| 165 cm (5′5″) | 2.74 km · 1.70 mi | 2.73 km · 1.69 mi |
| 170 cm (5′7″) | 2.82 km · 1.75 mi | 2.81 km · 1.75 mi |
| 175 cm (5′9″) | 2.90 km · 1.81 mi | 2.89 km · 1.80 mi |
| 180 cm (5′11″) | 2.99 km · 1.86 mi | 2.97 km · 1.85 mi |
| 185 cm (6′1″) | 3.07 km · 1.91 mi | 3.06 km · 1.90 mi |
| 190 cm (6′3″) | 3.15 km · 1.96 mi | 3.14 km · 1.95 mi |
| 195 cm (6′5″) | 3.24 km · 2.01 mi | 3.22 km · 2.00 mi |
