How tall was Herbert Hoover

Hoover seemed just under 5'11" at times. I would still give it to him though. What do you think Rob?

Thanks for the reply Rob! The last photo I sent, however, comes from 1924. Here are some more photos of Coolidge with Hoover from 1924: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
So at that time, Coolidge was 52 and Hoover was 50. Additionally, two other photos from 1929: Click Here Click Here
I think 1/8 inch over 5ft 11 would be the right listing for a Hoover. Rob, I hope you will give him that mark.

I think Hoover was 1/8 inch over 5ft 11. Here are some of his photos alongside Calvin Coolidge from 1929: Click Here Click Here Click Here Click Here
In that photos, Hoover was 54-55 years old and Coolidge 56-57. I believe Hoover really was a little over 5ft 11. Rob, can you give Hoover 180.7 cm?

Rob are you going to make a page for FDR? He was regularly described as being 6’ 2” tall.

Rob, could that fraction over 5ft11 be granted?

Speaking of presidents around this time, according to the recent Calvin Coolidge biography by Amity Shlaes, she mentioned Coolidge measuiring 5'8.9" in college and weighing 119.5 pounds. You can find photos of Coolidge and Hoover on Google Images and there's really not that big a difference between them. Incidentally, Coolidge didn't like Hoover either, but then you don't have to be liked to warrant a page here.

funny to see Hoover pop up here before Nixon LBJ or FDR.

I don't mind him having a page , in fact I'd love for more Presidents to have a page , but Yes he was most definitely one of the worst and forgettable ones ever lol.

Size 8 feet? Yikes. I know 5’4 guys that can’t even fit into that.

Rob, is that fraction over 5ft11 a possibility?

I guess it's like, then, how we in the States have more of an affinity to your royals than the actual British people do. Because we definitely don't revere every president over here, and Hoover certainly isn't one we hold as being memorable in a good way. I guess a case notoriety for Hoover could be made since he's often credited with making the Great Depression worse, but that's nothing you want to be given credit for, and other than that he's considered entirely foregttable over here.

Anyway, it just seemed a really random add, that's all.

Rob, what on earth happened to 'The Big Grapple'?!?!?

Good thing I archived it!

MJKoP said on 29/Jan/18
Yeah at 5'7", I'm 9.5-10, and not considered an abnormality.

MD said on 28/Jan/18
Herbert Hoover? Seriously? lol

Hello Rob, when and why did you gain 20 pounds? I remember that two years ago you put in celebheights that you weighed 160 pounds ... thanks and best regards

Feet size seems to have increased significantly. Today a 5ft11 man would probably, on average, wear a size 10.
