5,500 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″) | 3.42 km · 2.13 mi | 3.41 km · 2.12 mi |
| 155 cm (5′1″) | 3.54 km · 2.20 mi | 3.52 km · 2.19 mi |
| 160 cm (5′3″) | 3.65 km · 2.27 mi | 3.63 km · 2.26 mi |
| 165 cm (5′5″) | 3.77 km · 2.34 mi | 3.75 km · 2.33 mi |
| 170 cm (5′7″) | 3.88 km · 2.41 mi | 3.86 km · 2.40 mi |
| 175 cm (5′9″) | 3.99 km · 2.48 mi | 3.98 km · 2.47 mi |
| 180 cm (5′11″) | 4.11 km · 2.55 mi | 4.09 km · 2.54 mi |
| 185 cm (6′1″) | 4.22 km · 2.62 mi | 4.20 km · 2.61 mi |
| 190 cm (6′3″) | 4.34 km · 2.69 mi | 4.32 km · 2.68 mi |
| 195 cm (6′5″) | 4.45 km · 2.77 mi | 4.43 km · 2.75 mi |
