Alex says on 4/Jan/09
Rob, does your weight flucuate or you normally weigh in at 157lbs all the time? I would have my weight listed but first in that picture I am less than I am now and also my weight flucuates so I wouldn't have a steady weight down to put here.
[Editor Rob: weight probably varies around 5lb range I think.]
Alex says on 30/Dec/08
BigKid13, I just saw your video on youtube. Wow you're very big for someone 13 but you dont look 317lbs though. I would have guessed more 280lbs.
BigKid13 says on 28/Dec/08
How do I put my picyure on here?
Im 13 and about 6'4 or 5 I weigh 317lbs.
Im on you tube under "giant sized kid" glenn says on 27/Dec/08
thats correct alex on the height is should be.i wake late afternoon. Alex says on 26/Dec/08
Also Glenn wakes up late and when he gets pics with these celebs its only after being up for a short period of time but even then he'll shrink at least 1/4 inch so he's probably 5'7.5-5'7.75 in most of those photos. Bouncer says on 26/Dec/08
If glenn claims his "morning height" at 5'8, then you also have to consider the height of the celebs on the photos as "morning" or "evening". Is that everytime the case? Alex says on 22/Dec/08
If the stadiometer rod is straight its more accurate than against a wall. Like Rob said even if the floor is slightly off your height can be off by a few mm. Lozzer says on 22/Dec/08
Hey Rob. Do you know how much those stadiometers cost or where i could find one?
Thanks!
[Editor Rob: Mine was about 50 quid plus postage, do a search for "Seca Leicester" that was the model. They are used on the road to measure people at schools or health clinics etc.] TELLEM says on 20/Dec/08
rob, so are you saying a stadiometer is more accurate than a tape measure?
[Editor Rob: if done right, both should get you to within 1-2mm of actual height.
problem is that walls and floors aren't always 90 degree perpendicular, so it can throw off measurements by a few mm.
I would measure with long aeorosol can if you didn't have access to stadiometer. You just need to make sure it is right in middle of your head.] TELLEM says on 19/Dec/08
Rob, i remember somebody asking him on here what was his height in the morning and he'd say a little over 5'8/.25...thats where i got that from...i dunno how he would measure 5'8.25 and have 5'7.75 in the after noon as his pic lol
[Editor Rob: I know the shop height ruler isn't exactly showing him at 173cm, but if Mamun said he measured 5ft 8.25 in a gym on a stadiometer, I believe that.] Red says on 19/Dec/08
Tellem I think the camera position is to high in Mamuns pic,thats why he looks under 5´8". Red says on 18/Dec/08
Right Rob, maybe I havn´t seen enough pics. I don´t think Mamun goes under 5´8" in the evening and that was a little confusing in comparison to you. leonari says on 18/Dec/08
Red: the who site is based on estimates. We will never know the exact height of celebrities to the mm. Or maybe one day when every celeb who doesn't agree with the height he has on here meets up with Rob to get him /her measured... TELLEM says on 18/Dec/08
mamun has said 5'8.25 is his highest....and that makes sense because in his picture he is under 5'8
[Editor Rob: he said he measured a legit 5ft 8.25 in the afternoon. That was the last time he done it so we have went with that and give mamun that figure.] Red says on 18/Dec/08
I´m not questioning Supermums height but Rob looks slightly taller in the pics I´ve seen.
[Editor Rob: Having different people standing beside the celeb is good because sometimes one person's photo might reveal more closely the true height of the celebrity compared to the others!
That's what I'm hoping for in photos. Factors like shoes, posture, distances from camera, type of camera, can effect things.
For instance, Mamun has a photo with Dirk Benedict, but Dirk doesn't look much taller than Mamun. I got a couple with Dirk, one this month in fact and managed to get Dirk to stand with better posture, which I think shows his height a bit better...
Same thing for Tahmoh Penikett, my pic was 2 years old but I wanted to get a better shot where he wasn't leaning as much to help show height. Jenny got a bit better stance than he had with me.] Alex says on 18/Dec/08
If Mamun is only 5'8.25 at his lowest he's a strong 5'8 as well, can say weak 5'9 too and he'd be slightly taller than Rob then. glenn says on 18/Dec/08
your right red and i see your point.but in the end it doesnt matter what i claim cause everyone will still argue here.alot here dont believe my estimates.and i know deep down im right.and thats a good feeling.of course,alot here agree with me too. Red says on 18/Dec/08
You´re right glenn, if you´re 5´8" at one point of the day you can give your height as 5´8", the prob is just that It´s not clear enough from wich base we estimate height here and I think Rob wouldn´t give a specification to each site on here like MORNING HEIGHT or MIDDAY HEIGHT because that would cost the half discussions or more and that´s bad for celebheights ;) glenn says on 18/Dec/08
uh,excuse me.rob wakes up at a hair under 5-9 sometimes.thats not a legit 5-8.thats over 5-8.rob and mamun are both slightly over 5-8.i might be slightly under.or 5-8 on the nose when i wake.you wanna call that 5-7.5,or so,thats your take on things.and i accept it.but i have a right to say im 5-8,as do some doctors that claim morning height is the true height. Alex says on 17/Dec/08
Yea true, someone's height can be off very slightly different times of the day. Thats why I am listed at 6'0-6'0.25 on this page since it can flucuate from afternoon-evening. TELLEM says on 17/Dec/08
alfons, rob is a strong 5'8, mamun is a legit 5'8 leonari says on 17/Dec/08
Alfons: you are joking ? No you are right half an inch to 0.75 is a huge difference. As obvious as a foot difference.1-2 cm is enormous!!!! Alex says on 17/Dec/08
Is Mamun's lowest height 5'8.25? If so he may be a considered a weak 5'9 because he'd then be 5'8.5-5'8.75 at like midday and easily 5'9 out of bed.
I think to be considered a strong height, you have to not go under that height by 1/4 inch max at your lowest. What do you say Rob?
[Editor Rob: you need to measure multiple times on different days. Mamun did say his latest afternoon height he got was 5ft 8.25, so we are going with that.
even I can't give jenny an exact height!] Alfons says on 17/Dec/08
It's very interesting how height differences sometimes by nearly the same claim.
Glenn's a weak 5'8 (guess 5'7.5 or max 5'7.75), Rob's a legit 5'8 (as greatly proven in the pic above) and Mamun's a strong 5'8 (0.25 in over that mark). nick says on 15/Dec/08
hey rob just curious, how did you go about measuring ure arm span
[Editor Rob: edge of a doorframe with middle finger touching and then other arm have a friend mark the other finger on wall] Alex says on 2/Dec/08
I did meet adult film star Jenna Haze and took a few pictures with her and one was with us both standing. Thing is if I posted it would need to get rid of some of the backround since it was in an X rated store, LOL. Alex says on 2/Dec/08
If I met more people that were standing I could have my own little page, lol. jchv190 says on 27/Nov/08
Rob, I was seeing a comment that you made about measuring jenny after 8-9 hours of sleep and you found that she was 5'9.25", and you say that usually her height during the day is 5'8.5" and can be as low as 5'8.25", why ist that sometimes you get different measurements when you wake up?. I mean I have done a bit of measurements, and I found that I can be when I wake up after a really good night of sleep just a bit over 6'4", and by midday like 6'3.5 to 6'3.25" and at night like 6'3" to as low as 6'2.75", why ist that I loose height quickly and why ist that sometimes at morning I can measure a bit over 6'4"?.
[Editor Rob: her morning height is usually around a couple mm over 5ft 9 like 9.1, but the max I measured her was 5ft 9.2.
It's like myself, if I get a proper sleep like near 8 hours I will measure on rising 5ft 8.75, but I can be anywhere from 5ft 8.6 - 8.75 out of bed, maybe sometimes the spine doesn't fully rehydrate to it's potential?] Big King says on 25/Nov/08
And Glenn is still missing on this page. Come on, Glenn is one of the main persons of CelebHeights. He must be added to this list. Hurry up, rob!
[Editor Rob: glenn has his own page which is linked on every page, this will be updated in due course, it will look better when we have a photo and exact measurement. Don't worry, it's only 4 and a bit months.] Alex says on 13/Nov/08
Red, you seem to edge me out slightly in height throughout the day. Big King says on 13/Nov/08
Rob, why won't you add Glenn on this page? He's still missing.
[Editor Rob: eventually he will, don't worry.] Red says on 12/Nov/08
I give my midday height 184cm because that´s what I´m most of the day, but I give my height also as 6ft because it´s easier than 6´0.5" Big King says on 9/Nov/08
Red, so what height do you take? Morning or evening height? Alex says on 6/Nov/08
5'8 isn't a bad height. Its on the short side and only appears short next to guys 5'11-6'0 plus. Its not like a height people will say is short unless you're one of those cocky guys who will say it. I personally wouldn't wanna be under 5'10 at the minimum. Annoyed says on 4/Nov/08
Maybe one day after a year or two i'll get my evidence for my height up on this page.
I think its strange how myself, Glenn, Rising, Rob and Mamun , some of the most regular vocal contributors and picture finders, guys who regularly send in photo's of themselves with celebrities and the website moderator are all around the same height! here they are as i understand it :
Risingforce: 5'7.75" morning
Glenn: 5'8" morning 5'7.5" evening
Myself: 5'8" morning 5'7.5" evening
Mamun: 5'8"
and Rob: 5'8"
so there is less than 1" between all of us ! interesting !
Personally , I like my height, not too short, not too tall, I can "tall up" in elevator shoes if i ever need it ( only job interviews, Labour party meetings and the odd fun trip to the bar )
Wht are other Users heights and how do they feel about their Height?? would you like to be taller? shorter? any height related stories?
( also to Americans: Your election is great to watch, quite a spectacle ) Lozzer says on 1/Nov/08
Rob, Do you generally want to look taller or are you happy with your height as i am nearly your height at 15 years old, just out of interest???...
[Editor Rob: for this site being taller would be better, but then it might never have existed if I was 6ft....
If I wanted to look a bit taller I'd wear cowboy boots.] anonymous says on 30/Oct/08
great rob! looking forward to it and have fun at your trip! Alex says on 30/Oct/08
Red, typo that was. Its really 6'0.75 out of bed and 6'0 at the lowest. At times I can hit as low as 5'11 3/4-5'11 7/8 at night or 6'1 right out of bed. anonymous says on 30/Oct/08
i too cant wait to see glenn here on this page, with distinct evidence to back up his claim... because i personally believe hes around 5'7" to 5'7" 1/2... im quite adamant about that and well see if he proves me wrong
[Editor Rob: I was testing putting my stadiometer and it can fit in my case, so it is a good chance it will be in NY with me
so, there will be not only glenn shots with others like me, but hopefully also a 5pm full body measurement shot...] Red says on 25/Oct/08
Alex, 6´1.75"morning to 5´11 7/8"night wow that´s a huge heightloss for a guy of your height.
I use to go down about 2cm Red says on 25/Oct/08

Alex2 it looks like we´re the excat same height, my pic was taken after I was about 6 hours on feet.
My height:
Morning: 185-185,5cm (6´0.8"-6´1")
Midday: 184cm (6´0.5")
Evening: 183,3cm (6´0.2")
Armspan: 195,2 cm (6´4.8")
Weight: 98kg 215lbs
Shoe Sz: 11.5 US Alex says on 23/Oct/08
Alex 2, I never got an official measurement out of bed but its def around 6'1.75 from measuring myself against a wall and marking it but I could be off a bit whether its under or over. I know for a fact I I been measured at 6'0.25 at midday and no lower than 6'0 in the evening except at times I can hit 5'11 7/8 at night. Alex2 says on 22/Oct/08
Hey alex , im the same height as you according to my measurments. I wonder if your way of measuring is accurate. I am 185.2 in the morning 184 a couple of hours after and around 183 at night mostly. I wonder who would be taller if we had an undertaker kane staredown. It would be interesting to see how accuratly people measure themselves Lenad says on 20/Oct/08
I measure at 177.2cm out of bed and 175.6cm in the evening. Alex says on 17/Oct/08
I think Rob only adds people now who have a photo with a celeb.
Mask, your height is very similar to mine. I am a smidge taller than you each of those times. 185 out of bed, 183.5 midday, 183 evening Big King says on 17/Oct/08
I wonder when Glenn will appear on this page... mask says on 16/Oct/08
Rob if you want to add my profile(with no photo) here is it(you can trust me):
I stand 184,5 cm out of bed 184 cm mid-day 183,5 cm in the afternoon and 182 cm after 9 pm and in my identity card I'm listed at 184 cm. I'm 6'1.25" in trainers and 6'1.5" with my 1.25" heeled boots. I weigh 185 pounds I wear size 10-12 shoes it depends from the kind of shoe. My wingspan is about 6'2" and my standing reach is 7'10"! I think at myself like a bit more than average man and I feel usually pretty tall. I'd feel tall if I were about 6'4"! Alex says on 16/Oct/08
Nick, once right out of bed my friend measured me with tape measure and he said I was over 6'1 but almost 6'1 1/2 meaning 6'1 1/4 but I never seen any proof of that and I doubt I ever hit that barefoot. Most would be 6'1 flat on a very good night sleep but mostly I am just 6'0.75 out of bed. Today I measured at 184cm exactly after being up almost 5 hours. nick says on 16/Oct/08
same with me alex, i actually think that drinking a lot water can actually make you maintain your height potential longer. My height is 189 centimeters metrically speaking which is the "6'2" of the metric system. However i think that people generally like to g for whole numbers so i tall guy accrding to people of the metric system would be the landmark of 190 as opposed to ours which would be 6'0 or 6'2. So alex if we werent american i could simply say 189cm and you woul simply say 184cm and it would be dead on with our averages and it wouldnt be awkward by throwing in halves and quarters. Complex says on 15/Oct/08
The difference in Rob and the rest of the world is Rob is claiming his lowest possible height, (legit height), he'd never be caught looking like a fool if he were measured cuz he's always at least 5'8 minimum, the height he claims. But most ppl claim their morning heights with shoes, which is why you see inflation of 1 to 2 inches amongst most... Big King says on 15/Oct/08
Yes, thanks Alex. I will claim 6'6" like before and about Rob, what if s stranger asks him how tall he is in the morning? Will Rob still say 5'8"???
[Editor Rob: I would say after a real good night's sleep I am near 5ft 8 and 3/4.] Alex says on 15/Oct/08
Nick, pretty much like that but just 2 inches shorter. Though I can sometimes hit 6'0 after being up for 5-6 hours. I lose height kinda fast I think. I've never been measured over 6'0.25 for an afternoon height though. I can hit a smidge under 6'0 on some days at night, like 5'11 7/8.
King, at the lowest you could claim 6'5 1/2 since you are that height in the evening but its absurd to claim 6'5 like someone said to you before. Just claim 6'6, its easier. Big King says on 15/Oct/08
Alex, I stand between 6'5 1/2" and 6'6" (=6'5 3/4") for the longest day and claiming my height as 6'5 3/4" is absurt. Rob is a bit above 5'8 1/2" when he's awake. I mean, he is 174,4cm on that time. Taking his height as 174cm wouldn't be a cheat. nick says on 15/Oct/08
alex ill tell you what im exactly 2 inches taller than you. I say im 6'2 however i think maybe 1 day out of the week ill hit 6'3 in the morning but its usually 6'2.75. After about 3 hours ill hits 6'2.5 this will only last for about 2 hours then i go down to 6'2 1/4. I can usually end the night at 6'2 1/4 but half thetime i go down to 6'2, and on a really long work day followed by a day of quats and deadts iv measured myself a little over 6'1 .75 which is a little crappy. After about 10 minutes of resting i was back up to 6'2 haha. Alex i assume you are exactly the same but at 2 inches less , correct? Complex says on 14/Oct/08
Oh ok, I was just confused, but that makes sense, maybe the floor isn't exactly level, I wasn't sure... Complex says on 14/Oct/08
Rob I'm not one to downgrade any of the users heights cuz I believe most to be very accurate and you have obviously proved on several occasions that you are every bit of the 5'8 you claim and that's at your lowest, you actually seem a bit taller. That being said, I don't understand Mamun's height, we have him listed as 5'8.25 evening height and in the photo up there he looks 5'7.5 and it looks mid-afternoon in the background. Even in that shot counting his hair he doesn't relly hit 5'8.25. If you subtract his hair it seems he wouldn't quite hit 5'8 and we have him at 5'8.25 in the evening? I mean it might just be me but if you look straight at the pic, then pretend mamun was bald, that would put him at 5'7.75 tops, but I may be wrong, im just judging from the pic. It just seems it would be more accurate to say 5'8.25 morning height, but I could be wrong, just judging based on the lines drawn...
[Editor Rob: I know, it was the best mamun could get thus far. It may not be as accurate mind you - the floor might be off, but he said in the afternoon on a proper measuring device he got in the past a little over 5ft 8] Alex says on 13/Oct/08
Big King, I think Rob is correct with claiming 5'8, well if he wanted he could claim 5'8 1/4 but claiming his out of bed height of 5'8 1/2-5'8 3/4 wouldn't be as accurate since he only stands that for what an hour at most. I can see claiming midday since you could be that height for a while but I think its best to claim the height you stand for longest. Big King says on 12/Oct/08
Rob, you are downgrading your real height for a half inch. Alex says on 11/Oct/08
King, so you only lose 1/2 inch. I lose 3/4 to 1 inch. Big King says on 9/Oct/08
Alex, yes I'm 6'6 1/4" straight out of bed and 6'5 3/4" in the afternoon. I'm taking 6'6" as my height although I know that I'm 6'5 3/4" the most time of the day. And you are right. If I were 6'6" straight out of bed then I would be a weak 6'6". Editor Rob says on 9/Oct/08
I done another morning measurement of Jenny after 8-9 hour sleep and she can reach 5ft 9.25 out of bed. She was surprised. Alex says on 8/Oct/08
King, this is my usual measurements. Right out of bed 6'0.75, shortly after I'll maintain at 6'0.5. By midday 12-2PM I'll hit 6'0.25 then shortly after hit 6'0 and maintain that rest of the day. Sometimes I'll hit my final height by around midday. Alex says on 8/Oct/08
Big King, I never claim my out of bed height of 6'0.75. A few times I believe I hit 6'1 flat out of bed. I always just claim 6'0 since thats the lowest height I hit or sometimes just under 6'0 like 5'11 7/8 on long days of work or something. Big King says on 8/Oct/08
Is it possible to add Glenn to this page?
[Editor Rob: I will soon enough, and one day there will be like the others a height photo aswell!] Big King says on 8/Oct/08
Rob, then you can celebrate with her. She has exactly the same height as you :) Editor Rob says on 6/Oct/08
I was doing a 9pm measurement today of Jenny and over the last few days.
Jenny had a long day on her feet at work and rushing about preparing to go to London tommorrow on half a day's notice, I measured her at 5ft 8.25, her lowest measurement...
So I have now measured her from 5ft 8.25 to 5ft 8.6 at 8-9pm. Big King says on 5/Oct/08
And mamun is 174cm (5'8 1/2") in my opinion. On that time when mamun stands at 5'8" to 5'8 1/4", I'm about 6'5 1/2" to 6'5 3/4". If I were mamun, I would take 174cm as my true height. Big King says on 5/Oct/08
Why the hell are all these guys taking their evening heights?! That's absurt! Editor Rob says on 5/Oct/08
I took another couple of shots of my morning height:

That's after a proper 8 hour sleep and about 2 minutes from waking. Lenad says on 16/Sep/08
hell of a lot of 5ft8 people here. Alex says on 14/Sep/08
Mamun looks 5'8. I dont think he ever said his out of bed height though. James says on 11/Sep/08
Demyer looks bigger than 5ft11 next to Ben Stiller but then again Ben isn't standing straight. mee says on 11/Sep/08
DMeyer, what you say when someone ask you for your height, do you say 5ft11 or 5ft11.5?? Anonymous says on 10/Sep/08
yeah mamum is 5 7.5 tops according to his new pic lol.. Steve says on 10/Sep/08
if that height chart with mamun is accurate then he's more like a 5' 7.75" rather than a 5' 8.25". ! James says on 9/Sep/08
I like the new pictures there really good at showing height, I presume the pic of your girlfriend next to the stadiometer was taken in the afternoon?
[Editor Rob: her out of bed height is as shown 5ft 9 and 1/8th.] Alex says on 2/Sep/08
Thanx for the update Rob. Alex says on 1/Sep/08
Rob, could you list my shoe size as 14? Far as weight, it flucuates too much so I'm not going to even ask to put one down since its not steady. Also my evening height is just 6'0, not 6'0.25 but 6'0.25 is like my average height for the day though. sf says on 8/Aug/08
Rob - did you hire someone again to pretend she is your girlfriend?
[Editor Rob: you're onto me sf...] Editor Rob says on 8/Aug/08
It took me 2 minutes to do a photo of Jenny in the morning.
Here is her height proof within a minute getting out of bed:
Jenny height. Anonymous says on 7/Aug/08
Hey Rob, in that picture with you measuring yourself, are you standing as straight as possible? I mean really straight...
[Editor Rob: I am standing straight without trying to force muscles, but there really is barely a difference.] ddi says on 1/Aug/08
thanks rob. so if i ever become a celeb you'll list me at 1m79?! of course i'll then start claiming 6'1.. great site by the way. and you handle yourself well from what i've read. avoiding mud slinging and rising above bs. be nice people!
[Editor Rob: well thank you for visiting! Yes I would list you 179cm.] ddi says on 1/Aug/08
hi,wonder what you make of this. i'm 1m80.1 out of bed. lowest end of day about 1m78.4. what height am I?! i generally say 5'11 when asked and tend to get away with it.. but to be honest should i say 5'10.5 or 5'10? p.s. in terms of celebs i've seen: aidan quinn, bit taller than me i reckon-probably 1m82. brendan gleeson-6'1ish. heavy man.could be little under. bertie ahern, former irish taoiseach is pretty much same as me give or take 1/2 inch which proves tony blair legit 6 foot. lots of pics of them together. thanks guys.
[Editor Rob:say 5ft 10.5 and nobody would think otherwise.] sf says on 28/Jul/08
Hey - the white rectangle over your face is what makes you, you... sf says on 27/Jul/08
Oh wait, Rob - I'M the one without the gilfriend! Heck, I don't even have a pet dog... sf says on 27/Jul/08
Oh come on Rob, don't try to lie to us and tell you us you've got girlfriend...the pet dog, I believe...
[Editor Rob: no I do! Just for you sf maybe I'll post a picture of her today...
Although we're having identity issues - she's having trouble recognising me these days unless I put a bit of white cardboard on my face...
I don't have a dog though.] Stiffelio says on 27/Jul/08
Hey Rob, thanks for your new picture. You are amazing! You could actually claim 5ft 9 and wouldn't be far from the truth. I'm almost exactly your height, but I haven't measured in a while. I'll take some new readings and post them.
[Editor Rob: oh thanks, yeah it's the best 1 minute out of bed height I could get. I set it up the night before, then when I woke took 30 seconds to get clothes on and another 30 to take a few shots.] Annoyed says on 27/Jul/08
My out of bed height is 5'8" exactly but over the course of the day i drop to about 5'7.5" and at night i can sometimes hit 5'7" depending on how busy ive been that day. Something i tried to ask Glenn along time ago but he never replied to , was that he himself said 5'8" was his out of bed height, well, does that not mean that with most of his pics being taken in the evening that he is actually closer to 5'7" in most of his pics, given that on average we all lose an inch over the course of a day , the least he would lose would be bout 1/2 an inch , but id say more for someone with higher body weight like Glenns. But eah, Im 5'8" out of bed, 5'7.75" for alot of the day and 5'7.5" most of the day. When people ask me my height i will always just say " Around 5'8" as i am nearly always closer to 5'8" than 5'7" .
[Editor Rob: from the best study on this - where the participants were staying at the medical center over the course of various human measurements, as soon as they rose each day they'd get measured and at various points during the day up till bedtime.
The average was 1.7cm from 7am till 11pm on average. What is more important to me is that from 12pm till 11pm the average loss of height is 2mm.
So when people ask morning/afternoon or night, afternoon and night are pretty close, but out of bed is much more in comparison.] Editor Rob says on 27/Jul/08
Some people who have been around a while might remember that I said I wanted to redo my height proof photo to show out of bed height.
I have finally managed to do it, taking a shot 1 minute from rising at 6.40am.
It's a lot better I think than the one I did against the door since it is side on, although it's pretty large in size.
What I done with the stadiometer is set it a few inches below 5ft 8 and get under with knees bent and then straighten up till I reach my full height thus the bar comes to rest as accurately as possible under the weight of your skull pushing it up.
I think if you are running a site like this or are a major contributer, providing evidence you are a proper 5ft 8 is a vital part of it. It's not that hard, you could do it with a tape measure against a door/wall like I originally done. I'm sure taking an hour to set it up overnight so you could do a shot in the morning isn't too hard.
Although being 5ft 8 on the nose out of bed wouldn't count as a legit 5ft 8 in my book. I'd be embarrassed claiming that measurement as my true height when it's only the girlfriend or pet dog that would see it ;)
Rob Height Derek says on 13/Jul/08
Sklya- Your son is very big for any guy, let alone a 13 year old. He can grow 6 more inches, or he may not grow another centimeter. My dad was 6'3.5" at 13 and didn't grow a centimeter after that. skyla says on 11/Jul/08
Our son just turned 13 . He now stands 6'4 and one half inch. He is now in a US shoe size 16. his weight is 265. Do any of you have any idea haw tall he will end up being ? Thanks Alex says on 4/Jul/08
Nobody gets measured at the doctor right out of bed. Some people 1-2 hours after being up by then they still can lose 1/4-1/2 inch. Afternoon-EVening is your real height I'd say. Dont go by very late at night either since by then you could dip just below what you normally do. Diane says on 2/Jul/08
hi, first of all thanks for such an awesome site! I am a great fan! I am just wondering when u say your height, do u say ur morning height? or daytime height? my out-of-bed height is 169cm, day height is 168cm, and evening height is 167.5cm. I am just wondering what's the general consensus here when talking about one's one or celeb's height
[Editor Rob: I think of a lunchtime height. How many folk do you know that get measured at the doctor's out of bed...if you're fitting in with people who tell the truth and are honest about height you'll fit perfectly.] Alex says on 25/Jun/08
Size 14 at 5'10 is crazy. His feet must look huge because mine look big and I am 2 inches or so taller than he is. Derek says on 20/May/08
Shoe size in most cases will correlate with height to some extent. I'm 6'2" and a 12. My dad is 6'3 1/2" and a 10 and I have a 5'10" friend that wears a 14. There are always exceptions. Alex says on 19/May/08
It doesn't. I am 6'0 with a size 14 sneaker. I should be 6'4-6'5 to make it look more proportioned though. That or have a size 11-12 foot instead for my height. Anon2008 says on 10/Apr/08
Actually in response to myself I read that shoe size doesn't correlate much with height. Anon2008 says on 9/Apr/08
Wow BigBen, you are 6'5 and have a size 13 shoe? I'm 5'10 and I have a size 12 1/2. Either you have small feet or I have large feet :p andreas says on 21/Feb/08
does anyone know if there is any way of minimizing how much people shrink in height during the day? Alex says on 10/Feb/08
But you'd think someone 6'0 at 11 is a very likely 6'10-7'0 when they are done growing.
Most people are their final height or within a cm of it by 18. chris175 says on 10/Feb/08
"im scared" there is nothin to be afraid of there, ive went through school with plenty of guys in the same situation, it is very likely that your son will end up only growing another couple of inches or so, or maybe he has stopped growing already.
im exactly 175.5cm straight out of bed in the morning, and around 173.5 in the evening, i was in a pretty bad car accident recently and injured my back and i feel that this could possibly be the reason for me shrinking a full 2cm throughout the day, i used to be a full 174.5 evening height but i think once i get back training soon the shrinkage could minimise. Derek says on 10/Feb/08
im scared- My dad was also 6'0" at 11 and he ended up 6'3 1/2". At 11, I was under 5'0" and I'm 6'2" now. Some develop early and your son probably did as well. Alex says on 16/Jan/08
If thats true 6'0 at 11 years old thats rediculously tall for that age. He'll end up being 6'10-7'0 at that rate easily. im scared says on 12/Jan/08
i am only 5 foot 2 and my husband is 5 foot 4 and my 11 year old son is 6 foot, is anything wrong or did he just get some tall genes from somewhere Alex says on 11/Jan/08
Ben, I'm a solid 6'0 and I've claimed 5'9-5'10 a couple times and it throws people off. Its funny. BigBen says on 10/Jan/08
Maybe i should try that, that could be funny Alex. Alex says on 9/Jan/08
Ben, try this. Tell people you're 6'1-6'2 if they ask. Throw them off and see what they say. Its funny to downplay yourself. BigBen says on 9/Jan/08
I am exactly 6'5 right out of bed, midday 6'4.5 and 6'4 at nighttime. I say i'm 6'4.5 (194) if people ask, cause thats my midday height.
Weight: 223 pounds
Armspan: 6'6.5 (199 cm)
Shoe size: 13 US
Standing reach: 8'4 the shredder says on 8/Jan/08
My posture is something like Mel Gibson has in the Glenn pic ! ... Not bad , but just don't stand best at times ! ... Its not like I have a hugh hunch on my back and bent completly over kissing my own ass ! G-MANN says on 7/Jan/08
Also isn't it true that sons outgrow their fathers? I'm 3 inches taller than my dad, who is 3 inches taller than his dad. Although there are still fathers whose sons are shorter than them, like Donald and Keifer Sutherland. G-MANN says on 7/Jan/08
One way to get good posture: Join the military or military reserve forces (National Guard, Territorial Army etc) or even the ROTC/JROTC/Army Cadets etc., all the marching around and standing to attention will help you stand up straight! Brah says on 7/Jan/08
I used to have bad posture. One way I improved is to exercise more (especially back-strengthening exercises). It makes your body and bones feel more relaxed and also strong. Also, a simple thing such as changing the chair you sit in or the bed you sleep in will help. If you sit in a chair for long periods of time and it is giving you back pain, it should be changed. If the bed you sleep on is old and springs are popping out, it's time to replace. the shredder says on 7/Jan/08
Rob , can somebody with BAD posture ever make it better ? ... Like , can you go from being Paul Giamatti to Brad Pitt as far as posture ? ... Im saying this cause I would like to improve my posture before it gets bad ... I don't really have BAD posture , but at the same time , not the BEST !
No Paul Giamatti , but no Brad Pitt posture !
Also I must ask if you are BIG BONE , MED BONE , or SMALL BONE ? ... You put your hand around your wrist to find out ! ... Im actaully a BIG BONE person ... What are you ?
[Editor Rob: I don't know about bones, I know I'm a normally thin guy. Bad posture can be corrected, just search on the web for some exercise ideas on strengthening muscles and so forth.] miko says on 6/Jan/08
I am 184cm in the morning and 181cm at night. I lose 3cm in the day!!! the shredder says on 6/Jan/08
My height was taking once or twice at 5'6.5 about 2 1/2 years ago ! ... The last few times Ive been measured by 2 diffrent Doctors ... One of my Doctors measure in cm ... within the last year Ive been measured 166cm , 167cm , 168.5cm , 168cm ! Other Doctor , most of the time they just say 5 ft 6 ! ... Last week measured in inches at 5 ft 6 ! ...
All these heights were measured barefoot in mid day !
[Editor Rob: a lot of variation. I'd stick with 5ft 6, nobody will dare argue.] the shredder says on 6/Jan/08
Rob , what would you say is my true height ? ... I get measured from 5'5.75 - 167cm up to 5'6.5 - 169 ... Recently measured last week at 5'6 flat ... What do you think is closer to the mark , and what should I claim ?
[Editor Rob: what time of day you got measured 5ft 6.5?] Alex says on 30/Dec/07
Ted T, some guys may hit their final height or damn near it by the afternoon. glenn says on 9/Dec/07
didnt realise it was up here.actually i kinda vaguely remember it now.but newer additions here threw me off. dmeyer says on 9/Dec/07
when i stand by a chart , if sombody take me a picture i will look 6 ft even thaugh my hair realy reaches 5'11.25 like rob reaches 5'9 in the pic but he is legit 5'8
[Editor Rob: I couldn't get the camera up high from what I remember, it was on boxes, but if you put the camera lense at your exact height like 5ft 11 it will look more clearer in a photo.] ted T says on 9/Dec/07
Fair enough.Maybe i'm obsessed with heights.But i think we all are.Otherwise we wouldn't be on this site. ted T says on 9/Dec/07
Silence is not the answer i was waiting from you Rob.
[Editor Rob: Every encounter I personally would list based on afternoon height, which is negligibly different from evening.] ted T says on 9/Dec/07
Rob,now i'm very confused.You list celeb with morning or evening height?Please respond. glenn says on 9/Dec/07
amazing how vaj is on here but not one mention of me.that loser shouldnt be on here.at least its a great pic of his great looks.rob has my head scratching as usual.
[Editor Rob: sorry its been up there for a while and I never removed him.] hi says on 7/Dec/07
katie could make it here, you don't think Rob? Alex says on 22/Oct/07
Rob, I see you added someone new with Rachelle too but the picture isn't on the Anna Kournikova page yet. She makes Anna look close to 5'8, 5'7 1/2-5'7 3/4. Alex says on 22/Oct/07
I'm still the only 6 footer on the page so far. haha Editor Rob says on 22/Oct/07
I did finally put mamun on this page too.
Surprisingly I was checking my armspan again and I'm certain it's now 3mm more at 176.8cm, which is second increase I've noted. And I'm doing the measurement pretty damn precisely aswell. Alex says on 11/Oct/07
I need to get one of those height charts and tape it to the wall so it would be better to measure myself throught out day right in front of a mirror. Alex says on 10/Oct/07
So near one hour you were 5'8 1/2. Its possible you could hit 5'8 3/4 right out of bed. Ever try that?
[Editor Rob: it's very consistant out of bed at 5ft 8.6.] Alex says on 9/Oct/07
Rob, you're 5'9 in the picture with you against the wall though?
[Editor Rob: I had to put marks to indicate the perspective of the box which covers 1 inch or so, because the camera wasn't 5ft 8 high.
One day I might redo that showing morning/evening if possible better. That bottom white line shows the actual height at that time 173.8cm, near to 1 hour from waking if I remember. The point being to show I can clear 5ft 8 for anybody who may have had wondered in the past.] Alex says on 8/Oct/07
Rob, if you don't mind could you relist my height to 6'0.25 on the Angle page if its not any trouble. Alex says on 5/Oct/07
Rob, nice new set up. I haven't been to the user heights page in a while. Good to see I'm one of the few on it.
My out of bed (morning height) could be 6'1 likely but I know its at the least 6'0.75. My friend measured me at 6'1 flat right out of bed he said with measuring tape. But other than that it looks accurate for me.
May have to have me down to 6'0 or 6'0.25 on the Angle page since I had told your assistant while back to put me at 6'0.5 but I'm not that tall by the later afternoon as that picture was taken in. Tom says on 21/Sep/07
Possibly he make get the gene from a distant undle, etc. But sometimes genes don't actually matter in making up the final height. I'm 16 years old and 6'4" and still growing and my Mum is only 5'4" and my Dad is 6ft. Caesar says on 27/Jul/07
One thing I have found when trying to measure myself with a tape measure: even good ones there is a modest bend in the tape, and if I just stand a tape right beside me in the mirror I "appear" 5'11, but it is impossible to account for all the variables, so I always discount half an inch and if someone asks me my height I "round down" to 5'10 to be on the safe side. The only way to accurately measure one's height is with a mechanically calibrated device. How many people though are measured this way? Most people are probably off by half an inch to an inch purely out of ignorance. Caesar says on 24/Jul/07
Rob, if you don't mind, explain to me how you are not 5'9 or at least 5'8.5-5'8.75 in that photograph of you. Granted, the camera is on a slightly lower angle, but the "5'8" line cuts off right at your hairline. There is more height beyond the hairline.
[Editor Rob: at that moment I was 5ft 8.4ish, the white lines show the box width, which the right side of the photo shows...the bottom white line is my height at that moment. If I could have got the camera up to 5ft 8 height it would look clearer.] Alex says on 5/Jun/07
Rob, so you don't even lose a full inch from out of bed until the evening/night. I do lose a full inch as I'll lose 1/2 inch after being up for a couple hours.
You may be 5'8.25 midday actually.
[Editor Rob: out of bed is like nighttime, it can vary a little, plus or minus 1mm, sometimes 2mm depending on sleep I think.
normal range is 174.2/174.3cm (5ft 8.6), some occasions I can get 174.4cm.
At night, most of the time 172.7cm, sometimes I drop a mm under to 172.6, 172.8cm.
so the max range I've measured for shrinking is 1.8cm. At mid day I can measure in or around 173cm yes.] dits says on 20/May/07
i dont know,but when i was 14 i was 5'10..then i started lifting weights,and now at 17 i'm still 5'10.any chance of me growing further?
my dad is 6'0 and my mom is 5'5..and my little bro who's 14 is 6'1..
is 5'10 a good enough height in the US?i mean,is it seen as short,or average or what?are the people in US all around 6 foot and above,or are there a lot of people in the 5 foot range too? Bleemo says on 7/May/07
OK here's an interesting one for you. I was at the gym and they have one of those BMI machines that measure your weight and then your height with a laser sight and then give you your BMI.
Now like a fool I got onto the thing in my Adidas sambas thinking like a moron that because it was a laser sight it could discern my body from my shoes. So as you might guess my height came out at 177cm and weight was down to 12 stone 4 lbs (down from 13 stone at the beginning of the year I might add as I was looking a bit bloated thanks to the old protein shakes).
Realising my mistake I took my shoes off and did it again and this time my height was correctly measured at 174 cm, the height I am always measured during the day.
The point to this is that sambas don't have the biggest heel on them, here's a picture of the exact model I own;
Click Here
Yet I gained 3 cm in height from a normal indoor sports trainer. Which makes me think that in a dress shoe with a decent heel you may get between 4-5 cm in height and cowboy boots or cuban heels maybe 5 cm. Then you put a lift in your insole and walla as much as 7 cm I think or about 2.5 inches with very little effort.
p.s. I'm 25 now and my morning height is 175 cm as of an early morning medical 3 months ago, around 10 o'clock I was whisked in. the shredder says on 27/Feb/07
Can you add me to User Height now ? Morning height - 5'6.5 (169cm) , Day height 5'6.25 (168.5cm ) , night height 5'6 (168cm) the shredder says on 27/Feb/07
Rob , some say its ok to be slighly overweight , but what do you think a 169cm guy should weigh and at MOST ??? Im 169cm and 187 lbs !
[Editor Rob: You would appear to be overweight by a few stone. At the moment, I'm 173cm and 157lbs. I'm not too sure on those ideal weight ranges at various heights though.] 123+abc says on 26/Feb/07
My new measurement of height is 175.27cm
Morning: 176.2cm
Normal: 175.4cm
Evening: 174.2cm
The same age people's medium height of me in my country is 171.6cm.
I like my height. AA says on 12/Feb/07
Thanks for clearing that up, Gotxo!
I'm not sure about this, because you shoesize is directly relationed to your height, but ALSO your body structure.
A friend of mine is 6'3" and size 10 1/2! However, he's skinny and have almost no shoudlers!
Like, if you are skinny, you'll have smaller feet. I believe that makes some sense. Derek says on 4/Feb/07
Gotxo, it doesn't always work that way. My friend is 5'11" and a 14. My other friend who is 6'5" wears a 13. My dad is 6'3 1/2" and wears a 10 1/2 or an 11 depending on the brand. Usually, it will be pretty close, but there are always exceptions. Gotxo says on 4/Feb/07
Derek:
That what you say makes sense, i'm 5'11 and use 44 wich is 10 or 10.5 in USA measures, so the math works here.
AA: Your feet aren't small at all for your height, just in proportion with it. Derek says on 3/Feb/07
I heard the average shoe size is 10, and that is for the average 5'10" guy. Assuming that you increase 1/2 size for each inch, a 6'1" person should be 11 1/2. I'm 6'1 1/4" and a 12. Also, someone could be a 12 in Reebok but a 12 1/2 in Jordans. AA says on 3/Feb/07
Stiffelio is right! I'm not sure if my feet are proportional to my height... (almost 6'1" and size 11 1/2") Stiffelio says on 23/Jan/07
Rob, is it possible to add a new column to the User Heights table where we could add our shoe size? The question about shoe size vs height correlation keeps popping up all the time(see recent discussions under General Height. I think we are quite a few people for a good size sample and we could come up with some relevant statistics within our own group. Ball-A-Hallic says on 21/Jan/07
i'm 5'10 now well maybe now 5'9.5 barefoot but i have grown cause when i stand next to my mother(when i'm in shoes) who is 5'10 i got her by atleast an inch possibly 2 maybe since i dont beelive she is a solid 5'10 no more. luke87 says on 2/Jan/07
strange how most people on this page are 6 foot plus lol, no short guys. AA says on 30/Dec/06
Yeah, at age 11 I was 5'3", something like that... and suddenly I grew 6 inches in a couple of years! It was quite fast, but of course, now I'm growing a lot more slow than I used too... :D
My parents have a big height diference: my dad is 6'1" (nowadays 5'11.5") and my mom is 5'2" (nowadays, 5'1")... my height projection stated 6'1"-2", because of my father's family genes (my aunt is 5'10", my uncle is 6')
As I said, I would like to be 6'1"+ ;D! I love my height, but it wouldn't be bad growing a little bit more! Anon says on 29/Dec/06
AA - You were really tall at 13! Woah! How tall are your parents? Do you know how tall you are projected to grow? At 17, seems to me that you probably have a year or two of growth left, so you'll probably definitely hit 6'1". What's your ideal height? TheMan says on 28/Dec/06
Hey Anon id say youre basiclly 6,0 which in theory is true thats what id say. Or 5,11.5 to 6,0 you are legit for atleast a few hours anyway. AA says on 28/Dec/06
Hi, Anon! I've been posting for about an year here!
I don't have any written registration, but I do remember!
age 13, I was about 5-9, that's for sure...
14, I would say 177 cm, maybe 178
15, 5-11 measured in the wall!
16, I was a 6 footer exactly (and also praying to be 6-1 quickly hehe)
And now 17, 6-0.5...
As you can see, I had an almost equal growth... about 1 inch/year
I hope I grow a little bit more! ;D Anon says on 24/Dec/06
AA - Nice job! Congrats on becoming a six-footer. You've been on the site for a while, right? Do you have a height chart saying how tall you are at each age (like 13, 14, 15, 16)? AA says on 23/Dec/06
AA - I'm 17 yr old, turining 18 in April 2007, and I'm 6-0.5 (184 cm exactly!)! After I wake up, I measured myself: 6-1.25... by evening I'm 6-0!
I believe I can grow some more, maybe reach 6-1.5 :D! Derek says on 22/Dec/06
Anon- I turned 18 in July and I believe I've grown 1/4"-1/2". I have no idea how much longer I am supposed to grow, but if I grow for a few more years, I could probably grow about 2 inches. Anon says on 21/Dec/06
Alex, I see that you are now 6'0.5" tall. Did you grow recently or just measuring yourself more carefully? I've been trying to track my height more carefully and I've found that in the morning I'm around 6'0.75" tall most days and shrink down to 5'11.75" by the end of the day most days. So, I think in the afternoon I'm probably between 6'0" and 6'0.25". Am I a legit six-footer or because I am 5'11.75" do I not make that mark? You are a fraction of an inch taller but I think that makes a difference! Anon says on 21/Dec/06
Derek, you should measure yourself. I think you could probably be 6'2" or taller also. How tall were you at 18, then? It seems like a lot of people grew past 18, which is interesting. I think I grew maybe 1/2" after 18 to around six-foot. Derek says on 18/Dec/06
6'2" is possible Alex. I have grown past my 18th birthday, which is something I did not expect. My doctor always said I would be 5'10", and my dad would just laugh his *** off. Obviously, I'm more than 5'10". Alex says on 18/Dec/06
Derek, you could actually be 6'2 or damn near it though. My dad actually thinks I'm 6'1-6'2 but I'm really no more than 6'0.5 but also he's really 5'11 now, not his 6'1 when he was younger and he claims 6'0 today.
6'2 is not a giant of height. If I see someone 6'2 they're tall to me a little taller than me but they don't stand out at all to me. 6'4-6'5 plus really is when you stand out more. TheMan says on 11/Dec/06
To me atleast 6,2 seems massive but then again im not even 6 foot so i guess it would do. But i do know if you are a good 6,2 like 189cm then youre going to pretty much be taller than most you'd encounter however over 6,2 is really starting to get tall then. George H says on 4/Dec/06
J-Dog: you're welcome. WEll, in family photos we look like average people, really, cos we're "amongst ourselves". It's when we're posing with other, more average height, people that you notice we have a height advantage. I'm usually only taller when I pose with others. In photos with my own relatives and in-laws, I'm always one of the4 smallest in the photo, of the males anyway :) Glenn says on 2/Dec/06
You might still grow Derek. Tallish says on 2/Dec/06
6'2 isn't that tall,I think 6'4 and above is really tall(i'm 6'2 btw) Derek says on 2/Dec/06
I haven't been measured in at least a year, but I know I'm a minimum of 6'1". I pretty much tower over anyone who is 5'8"-5'9". My dad thinks I'm around 6'2". I guess it's easy for him to judge since he's 6'3 1/2". 6'2'' JK says on 1/Dec/06
Viper is right i am also 6'2'' but not a proper legit 6'2'' yet but i am taller than most of the people except some of my friends J-Dog says on 1/Dec/06
Hey George H, great post mate! You indeed have a tall family and extended family on your wife's side wow! Man if you had family pictures your kids and you guys must look imposing! J-Dog says on 1/Dec/06
A legit 6'2" is still tall. I would say you would be taller than 92% of the people you run into day to day...well in North America. Viper652 says on 30/Nov/06
I have to agree with Theman. At 6-2 you will tower over a good deal of the population. Alex says on 21/Nov/06
My morning out of bed height needs to be updated to 6'1 flat. My age needs to be up to 22 now. My actual height can stay at 6'0.5 even though at times I'll get 6'0.25 in the mid afternoon. im scared says on 21/Nov/06
i am only 5 foot 2 and my husband is 5 foot 4 and my 11 year old son is 6 foot, is anything wrong or did he just get some tall genes from somewhere |
