Lenya was reportedly 5'0.25'' (153 cm). But is it indeed confirmed that Shaw wore lifts in From Russia With Love? When I rewatched the film, I was surprised to see that Connery had almost four inches on Shaw, covered a bit by the fact that Shaw wears a rather ill-fitting hat when their characters first meet. Peak 189 cm Connery was certainly 6'3'' in shoes and Shaw reaches his eyebrow level, so that I'd say 5'11.5'' for Robert in shoes. Maybe they should have given him even bigger lifts, particularly since Sean also has noticeably broader shoulders. Or is it possible that Shaw woke up at 5'11'' while filming FRWL in his mid-30s, and therefore was a legitimate 180 cm (5'10.75'') at peak who did not wear lifts even when standing right next to James Bond?

Yeah Sam in From Russia With Love in the garden scene he gave the impression of being the typical 6'2" + hulking blonde Bond assassin.

If Robert Redford is 5' 7", then Robert Shaw must be 5' 10" at least. Bigger and taller, he towered over Redford in The Sting.
Jake: 1.82 m-- 1.83 m-- 1.84 m says on 6/Aug/12
He was an excellent actor and this listing seems fair enough. I wouldn't rule out 5ft10.5in/1.79 m though, he had a bit of height on Scheider in "Jaws".
