40,000 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″) | 24.90 km · 15.47 mi | 24.78 km · 15.40 mi |
| 155 cm (5′1″) | 25.73 km · 15.99 mi | 25.61 km · 15.91 mi |
| 160 cm (5′3″) | 26.56 km · 16.50 mi | 26.43 km · 16.42 mi |
| 165 cm (5′5″) | 27.39 km · 17.02 mi | 27.26 km · 16.94 mi |
| 170 cm (5′7″) | 28.22 km · 17.54 mi | 28.08 km · 17.45 mi |
| 175 cm (5′9″) | 29.05 km · 18.05 mi | 28.91 km · 17.96 mi |
| 180 cm (5′11″) | 29.88 km · 18.57 mi | 29.74 km · 18.48 mi |
| 185 cm (6′1″) | 30.71 km · 19.08 mi | 30.56 km · 18.99 mi |
| 190 cm (6′3″) | 31.54 km · 19.60 mi | 31.39 km · 19.50 mi |
| 195 cm (6′5″) | 32.37 km · 20.11 mi | 32.21 km · 20.02 mi |
