4,500 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″) | 2.80 km · 1.74 mi | 2.79 km · 1.73 mi |
| 155 cm (5′1″) | 2.89 km · 1.80 mi | 2.88 km · 1.79 mi |
| 160 cm (5′3″) | 2.99 km · 1.86 mi | 2.97 km · 1.85 mi |
| 165 cm (5′5″) | 3.08 km · 1.91 mi | 3.07 km · 1.91 mi |
| 170 cm (5′7″) | 3.17 km · 1.97 mi | 3.16 km · 1.96 mi |
| 175 cm (5′9″) | 3.27 km · 2.03 mi | 3.25 km · 2.02 mi |
| 180 cm (5′11″) | 3.36 km · 2.09 mi | 3.35 km · 2.08 mi |
| 185 cm (6′1″) | 3.45 km · 2.15 mi | 3.44 km · 2.14 mi |
| 190 cm (6′3″) | 3.55 km · 2.20 mi | 3.53 km · 2.19 mi |
| 195 cm (6′5″) | 3.64 km · 2.26 mi | 3.62 km · 2.25 mi |
