Yes, agreed with Bob. As I said before, the Star Trek cast wore different types of boots during the three seasons. The first season boots had much bigger heels (2 inches?) than the later versions.
Bob says on 26/Feb/10
Shatner was 5'8.5"
Nimoy was 5'11.5"
Kelley was 5'10.5" in their primes
First yr, Shatner wore 2 inch heels to get to 5'10.5"
Nimoy wore 1.5 heels= 6'1", Kelley wore 1.5 heels= 6'
second yr, they all wore 1 inch heels
third yr, they all wore flats but Shatner who wore 1.5 heels= 5'10" Big T says on 12/Feb/10
Yeah...he looked AT LEAST 5'8" with Bret Hart Anonymous says on 2/Feb/10
3 inches between him and bret hart last night Kurt says on 15/Jan/10
I literally bumped into Shatner coming off an elevator at the MGM Grand in June 2001 (with a stunning, much taller blonde on his arm). I'm 5-8, and I was definitely looking down at the top of his expensive hair. Truly, I'd say 5-4, 5-5 tops. rerek says on 12/Jan/10
He Looks about 5'6 or 5'7 here: Click Here Kull says on 26/Dec/09
I saw him at a convention in 1989. He was five foot eight. He might have been five nine in his prime. Mamun says on 16/Dec/09

Shatner still used to wear some obvious looking shoes on occasions:

And here's the young Shatner 50 years ago, wearing lifts-suspicious shoes:
Click Here Shock says on 12/Dec/09
Shatner looks no more than 5'7" today, probably 5'8" and some change peak, maybe 5'9".
Conan O'Brien recently came out a complete full head taller than Shatner on the Tonight Show, so even if we low-balled it 9" taller, at 6'3.75" maybe 6'4" even at the tallest for Conan, the most we're seeing for the Shat Man is 5'7", and I'd even go as low as 5'6.5". My best friend is 6'3.5" (verified), I'm 5'8" and come out noticeably better on him than Shatner does on Conan. Full head taller than me guys usually are between 6'5" and 6'6".
One other thing to point out, I think 5'8.25" is a wakeup height for Mamun, we need him to reverify because the pics I saw from the convenience store put him at just under 5'8". Also, when is this pic from? Leung says on 29/Nov/09
Tilt or no tilt, Shatner looks at least the same height if not slightly taller than Mamun. Shatner is not under 5'8". Vegas says on 26/Nov/09
the photo is tilted not the room lol, its not hard to understand sf says on 24/Nov/09
no, no no - you can't just tilt the picture and "correct" it. The tilt is very well due to perspective. I doubt they have Shatner on a table that is on a slanted floor, slanting down. The wall just appears to be rising away from shatner. I am sure they are on level ground. No way taller than 5'7". RisingForce says on 23/Nov/09
SF, look at the version of the picture Vegas posted where the tilt was corrected. Click Here
Shatner does not look shorter to Mamun there. guyfrommars says on 23/Nov/09
Shatner definately had a height complex in his youth, he wore the most outrageous lifts and elevator shoes. See the talk show I linked.
Nowadays he's possible shorter, but in his younger days he was 5ft8 - 5ft9 as with lifts he didn't seem to be much shorter than Nimoy. Or Nimoy wasn't the 6ft1 he claimed to be? sf says on 13/Nov/09
Obviously shorter than Mamun, evidence says no taller than 5'7", but Rob still lists him at 5'8". How much is he paying you? lol... Lozzer says on 12/Nov/09
Noel Gallagher: "William Shatner walked in this lift we was in, dead little!"... Noel is 5'8" HAHA! Wrong! guyfrommars says on 11/Oct/09
Sorry, here's the link (I forgot it yesterday):
Click Here guyfrommars says on 10/Oct/09
Bob Justman writes in the Inside Star Trek book that Shatner wore lifts to reach his advertised height of 5ft11. He was no taller than 5ft9 or even 5ft8.
Look at this page (scroll down) to see the boots Shatner wore in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. They have ca. 2-inch heels. Compare them with 5ft6 Walter Koenig's ca. 1-inch boots (above on the same page), they definately used methods like this to make Shatner appear taller. Frank2 says on 2/Sep/09
That 1969 Mike Douglas show is telling. I knew Mike. He was a very close friend of my parents going back to the 1940s. I last saw Mike about two years before he died. He was 5'8" prime. Notice that Shatner with those humungous elevators is slightly taller. Mike in regular shoes with one inch heels would have been 5'9". Shatner in those lifts appears to be about 5'10". RisingForce says on 2/Sep/09
Yeah, it does look like he's wearing elevator shoes in that video from 1969. His height looks very unnatural there as well. Frank2 says on 22/Aug/09
In JUDGEMENT AT NUREMBERG (1961), Shatner was the same height as 5'8" Spencer Tracy so I assume his peak height was 5'8".
Shatner is the shortest person in this group shot which includes Sandra Bullock:
Click Here
These days I suspect Shatner is no more than 5'7". He appeared to be shorter than James Spader on the TV series BOSTON LEGAL and Spader isn't exactly tall. His bio claims he's 5'10", but in reality he's no more than 5'9". Anonymous says on 21/Aug/09
At least 5'9 peak, if he is the same height as a 5'8.25 young guy now at a million years old, he would have been taller at his peak in the early to mid 1960's! guyfrommars says on 28/Jul/09
Yes, agreed with Johnny Frogman. He looked very short next to 6ft4 Conan. Definately not taller than 5ft8 nowadays or even shorter than that. Plus he doesn't have his huge lifts anymore.
Here's the link for you:

A much older (1969) show with Shatner, you can easily spot the huge elevator shoes he's wearing:

Shatner was on Conan tonight, the top of his head was plum even with Conan's shoulder. I would say 5'6" to Conan's 6'4". But what do I know? I'm not a goddamned height expert like alot of the people here who are capable of scrutinizing heights in increments of 1/8". Me says on 17/Jul/09
William Shatner was NEVER 5'9... MHouillon says on 24/Jun/09
Again: 5'8.5 (174cm) in his prime,
5'7.5 (171cm) nowadays. guyfrommars says on 14/Jun/09
Seen a video recently of Shatner, Nimoy and Kelley on a 1990s convention with Shatner and Nimoy wearing flats, Kelley cowboy boots. Shatner looks short next to Kelley (5ft10 - 5ft11.5 in those boots) and Nimoy is taller than both of them. leonari says on 4/Jun/09
Frank2: Have you met Shatner in his prime? Was he really 5'9"?? RisingForce says on 24/May/09
look at him in sandals next to leonard nimoy in normal shoes. Click Here Click Here Click Here shatner has a big posture advantage in the first 2 pictures which is why the difference seems barely 2 inches. in the 3rd picture shatner doesn't have the same visible posture advantage, but the difference still seems like it's only 3 inches. nimoy is listed at 5-11.75 here. 5-8 minimum for shatner, even today. guyfrommars says on 12/May/09
They had two kind of boots in Star Trek. In the first season all the male and female crewmembers wore a taller, 2-inch heels version, while they changed to a smaller, 1-inch or less version in the latter two seasons.
However most of Shatner's girlfriends (not those who served on the Enterprise, but the "alien babes") wore ballet slippers or gladiator sandals (or barefoot!) all the time to make Shatner in his boots look taller.
And, although mainly all the main Enterprise crewmembers wore the 2-inch boots in season 1, they used this "trickery" on some guest stars. See my previous post, you can see Montalban wearing flat boots next to Shatner's 2-inch heeled ones. Vegas says on 3/May/09
you get a great shot of both kirk and spocks footwear 1min 10secs in here, like i said previous all members of the crew wore identical footwear Click Here M2 says on 20/Apr/09
I've seen Shatner in person twice. The first time involved an audience, and I was able to speak with him backstage. He seemed about an inch shorter than my 5'9.5", which was about what I had expected. The second time was when I literally ran into him in the lobby of a studio, where there was no chance of an audience. That time he seemed about three inches shorter than my 5'9.5". I leave the implications to any who wishes to contemplate them. Vegas says on 9/Apr/09
guyfrommars says on 9/Apr/09
They used trickery like this to make Shatner look taller as Captain Kirk (most of his girlfriends are wearing ballet slippers of flat gladiator sandals next to his 2-inch heels), so take this into account.
all the crew wore the same heeled boots even the females so it wasn't just kirk alone, kirk is there third from left Click Here guyfrommars says on 9/Apr/09

You people really do waste a lot of time worrying about other people's height. You're either cocky because you're tall, or parinoid because you consider your self short. If everyone was 6'2, and exactly the same, this world would be a boring place. Get a life. Antonio says on 28/Mar/09
Rick, Montalban has one leg that is 1.5-2.0" shorter than the other. His height will depend on which leg he is standing on.
I know this because it can be seen when he is walking on camera. An old friend, who met him verified this. She told me she would guess 5-10 for him. Rick says on 27/Mar/09

Mamum, yes you are leaning but even if you did posture up you would not be taller than him. Shatner is at least your height and possibly with change, therefore your 5’7” estimate for Shatner is wrong. After thinking it through do you agree that Shatner is at least 5’8”? TELLEM says on 5/Mar/09
mamun IS leaning...but if he were to stand like shatner, hed be taller...in that vid with jerry lawler, he looks 5'8.5 Vegas says on 5/Mar/09

I agree with 5'7 now,maybe taller at peak. Mamun at a legit 5'8 looks around the same height as him while he's bending a bit, but if he stood as straight as Shatner he'd definitely be a good 1 inch taller if not slightly more. Also mr.R thought he was between 5'6-5'7 as well. guyfrommars says on 23/Jan/09
Yes. As Brad said those boots were quite big on Star Trek. In a lot of episodes Shatner actually wore bigger heels than some other actors (like Ricardo Montalban) to make him look taller. Also, most of his female co-stars in the show wore ballet slippers or flat sandals. High heels were forbidden for Captain Kirk's love interests. Shatner was desperately trying to look at least 5ft11 in those days. Anonymous3 says on 21/Jan/09
5'7 tops looks like a short man Brad says on 21/Jan/09
I knew somebody who had the large nuggets to ask him if he had somebody write his sci-fi books for him. Man, he almost exploded in rage. Had 3.5" on a 5' 5" Heather Locklear 25 years ago. He really looks short now, but then he probably isn't in those 60's & 70's monsters he'd wear. Mamun says on 19/Jan/09

We can't see his footwear. could be wearing heels, that add 2 inches to his height. guyfrommars says on 15/Jan/09
I've just noticed in the "Plato's Stepchildren" episode that when Shatner and Nimoy dance and sing around, Shatner's boots (usually with ca. 2-inch heels (and maybe lifts?)) change into flat ones (probably to allow him to move freely). In a short take you see both of them standing straight next to each other and Shatner seems much shorter next to 6ft0.5 Nimoy. He was probably 5ft8 or 5ft9 in the 1960s without the heels (and lifts?). MHouillon says on 22/Dec/08
174cm then, and 171cm now. nightfly says on 18/Oct/08
Maybe 5'7". When he fights Sulu, they almost appear the same height. Takei was about 5'6", so was Koenig. Shatner doesn't appear more than a few hairs taller than either of them. guyfrommars says on 23/Sep/08

Fascinating, I never realized Jim wore a girdle. Bones, get Jim on a diet. ghp95134 says on 29/Aug/08
I work at one of the NASA Research Centers. Shatner visited our Lab in 2000 while getting material for his book, _I'm Working on That_. I am 5'6" and stood next to him -- he is as tall as my 5'9" father. Shatner's body proportions (face-head, forearm-wrists/hands, etc) do not support the supposition that he is only 5'6"~5'7" wearing lifts. I'd give more credence to the thought of him wearing a girdle, not lifts. runt says on 21/Aug/08
What's meant by "chick height" is that plenty of famous Hollywood male actors are ACCUSED of being under 5-7 because they are appear shorter than other males but they appear taller than so many of the females (which is the part that gets ignored). Shatner, an unknown quantity and possible lift wearer, is shorter than James Spader, another unknown quantity and possible lift wearer. What does that prove? sf says on 15/Aug/08
Not sure what that means, but plenty of famous Hollywood male actors are under 5-7, or "chick height", whatever that means. And, since Shatner, legtimately isn't taller than 5-6 to 5-7, is well known to be a lift wearer, etc. etc. - there is nothing wrong with saying his true height - 5-6 to 5-7. How anyone can watch Boston Legal, see Shatner many times 2-3 inches shorter than Spade, and smaller than everyone in the cast, and still think he's 5'8", is beyond me. runt says on 11/Aug/08
Brad says on 5/Aug/08
"5' 8" shaking his hand 10 years ago. He isn't 5' 6". He was at least 3-4 inches taller than Heather Locklear."
That's an important point. A lot of ppl like to shorten male celebs to the under 5-7 region and they don't have the presence of mind to realize that under 5-7 is 'chick height' because they are not thinking about females as they chip away at male celebs inch by inch. There are numerous comparisons with female celebs that can be made to prove a male celeb is not in that region. Whenever someone estimates under 5-7, I turn my attention away from male vs male comparisons. sf says on 5/Aug/08

The man looks like a dwarf nowadays but that is mostly due to the fact he has put on weight, I cant believe people could say he is 5'9 or 5'10 ridiculous no way but not 5'7 either, 5'8.25 tops. 5'8.75 in his prime. Davey says on 16/May/08
There is no chance in hell this guy is 5`9,I always thought he was around 5`7. cyberyank says on 13/May/08
Forgot to mention, Shatner wore normal shoes when he commited to crime to fool the witness. Nimoy is the one that really shrunk. He was tall when he was on Columbo with long limbs. Kevint says on 23/Mar/08
Shatner (despite being a bit paunchy) is a physical person who does a lot of offscreen exercise. He's in excellent shape for a septagenerian. Hence I don't think he's lost much height over time--he was medium height in Star Trek, and he still is medium height. 5' 9" sounds credible. Joe says on 10/Mar/08
Shatner is 5'7.5 sf says on 3/Mar/08
guyfrommars - I never think Shatner looks as tall Kelly in Star Trek. I give him around 5'10", maybe 5'11".. max height - 5'8
. guyfrommars says on 2/Mar/08
As I said they had two kinds of boots on the original Star Trek. The first season version had higher (ca. 2-inch) heels, the later one a much smaller (ca. 0.75-1-inch) one.
Click Here
This is an early image (episode 6 in production order) with both Shatner and Kelley wearing the season 1-type boots. Kelley was 5'10" and those boots made him 6' tall. They are roughtly the same height which means Shatner is also 6' there. If DiFabrizio is correct (which doesn't mean that he put 3" lifts into Shatner's boots, but that Shatner was overall 3" taller on the show) then he is certainly 5'9" (6' minus 3 inches). Or at least he was in those days. sf says on 25/Feb/08
Sorry, I keep coming off a little overbearing, lately...I dont know - I think he's 5'6" now, he's just too damn short on the show. Clark says on 24/Feb/08
SF-sorry...but I met William Shatner as early as 1976. My father being a physcian-- did guess Mr. Shatner's height at about 5'9" as he spoke to my 5'10 dad. Four decades have passed and Shatner is NOT 5'6"--maybe yoy want him to be......when I see him again ..I am sure we can have a good laugh...gee Bill your as short as Dustin Hoffman, or some hard wired person thinks so. Keep on Trekkin... MHouillon says on 20/Feb/08
I'd say 174cm "then", and 171-172cm "now" (5'7.5").
Don't forget, that he looks "bulky" and may appear shorter than he is. NEVER 5'6 (168cm) ! sf says on 17/Feb/08
No, I haven't, and I don't believe you've met him either, "in sandals many times." You guys just hang out at the same beach? He's always in sandals? BTW, they DO put lifts in specially made sandals, so check them next time you're at the next Star Trek convention.
Clark - think about your post. You're the one who told me to leave out his quirks, so I detailed they were more than quirks. And, not just quirks, they lead to evidence of the guy wanting to be the biggest star on the show, and adding to the credibility that he wore lifts, just like DiFabrizio said.
Why are you so adamant to defend his height? He doesn't look taller than 5'6" on Boston Legal, half the time. That being said, I don't like him, but I think he is good on the show. Clark says on 16/Feb/08
SF--so you never met him in his prime, period, end of story. So what if nobody liked him on the set, and that his behavior was un-menche, it still has nothing to do with his height. sf says on 11/Feb/08
Yes, I've met him several times, too, and, coincidentally, ALWAYS in sandals. Huh? Quirks? NOBODY who worked on the set of Star Trek liked the man - more than quirks, I'd say. 5'8 = prime. No taller than 5'7" now. clark . says on 11/Feb/08
Leave his quirks out in judging his height. At his age he does not give a dam about his height. I have seen him in sandals many times, he was a bit over 5'9" in his prime. Now he is about 5'8" and 1/2. If he wore lifts in the past--he has given them up at Trek conventions. And he is NOT 5' 7" --that is a joke. sf says on 9/Feb/08
Twingo - have you ever seen a woman with shoes with 5 or 6-inch heels? (Stevie Nicks, anyone?) They can get used to walking in them. The point I'm making, is that Shatner could have 3 inches hidden in his shoes, (Just like DiFabrizio says above) shoes that provide more support than womens' heels. He could very well get used to, and get comfortable wearing shoes with very large lifts and walk in them just fine. So, he may have 3 inches hidden in his shoes where the other actors don't. And, I guarantee none of the other lead actors had lifts. Shatner was the star and ws notorious for, basically, "riding rough-shod" over the other actors. Many times, he insisted on all the best lines, the best scenes, etc. etc. I would bet he made sure no one else would wear lifts (mostly because they didn't need to) so he would look as tall as possible.
I see Shatner around 3 to 2 inches shorter than Nimoy on the show. If he was 5'8" in his prime, there's your answer... Antron says on 6/Feb/08
Yeah, all the boots had heels, but shatners also had some lift. Made him more like 5'11 on the show. sf says on 3/Feb/08
twingo - because they wear the same type of shoes, does not mean they are the same. It's a known fact that Shatner wore lifts in Star Trek - not hard to put lifts in one boot, and not another. Or, to make special boots that look like everyone else's that have lifts inside. Even in Star Trek, he doesn't look any taller than 5'10" - with lifts.... twingo says on 2/Feb/08
Shatner only 5'7" in youth is nonsense. In classic Star Trek episodes the gap betwen him and Nimoy (who is no doubt close to 6'1") would be much higher than really is. Due to lifts at that time? No, once clearly can be seen that both used to wear same kind of shoes, both very high heeled. By the way, all male crew wore the same kind of shoes at this serie. The estimative of this site is very close to reality. Sorry for my english, I'm Brazilian. Jeff says on 21/Jan/08
I saw Shatner in downtown Toronto in 1999. Passed by him on the street. He seemed awfully small to me (I'm 6'2.75"), though this impression could have been exagerated because he was comparatively wide, too. Nevertheless I can't imagine that he was anymore than 5'7" (if that), even when he was young. clark says on 20/Jan/08
In shatner's later years, he is not known to wear big heels. He is in to the thin heeled Italian shoes. He is ok with his height, and has nothing to prove. We know he was 5'9 and over in his prime, now a bit under. let him be. DD says on 17/Jan/08
Shatner stood beside a buddy I work with. My buddy is 5 foot 9 and Shatner was about a half inch shorter. He's probably 5'8" or 5'9". Boxing Fighter says on 17/Jan/08

i'd like to see some more evidence that he's taller sf says on 14/Jan/08
No, leonari, I'm not. In many scenes, (As I said - USUALLY) Spader is taller than him by 3 inches. Then, other times, the difference is not that great. Logic says that lifts, elevators shoes, or other techniques must be being used to minimize the difference. I'm basing this on many viewings of the show. I've seen it many times, when Spader is much taller... leonari says on 14/Jan/08
SF: James Spader dwarfs him? Are you watching a different Boston Legal than I do? They are close in height...Ok maybe due to lifts and what else but the are close. Towers...man!! most people think 3 cm is towering. incredible. sf says on 13/Jan/08
Yes, I understand, I am taking your sightings into consideration here. I know, I have never met him. but, it just makes snese, given what DiFabrizio says above. If he says 3 inches, than the shoes gave about 2 inches, and I've never seen Shatner look taller than 5'10" on Star Trek. And, usually, James Spader dwarfs him on Boston Legal. We're not far off - I still give peak height of 5'8". sf says on 9/Jan/08
Still gotta disagree on this one. Been watching the old Star Treks lately, and Shatner looks 5'10" at most. Not nearly as tall as Nimoy. With two inch lifts, no taller than 5'8", ever. And the guy above, says 3 inches taller. Okay - maybe that's total lift/heel height, but 5'10" is easily achievable. I don't think Shatner's any taller than 5'6" to 5'7" now. clark says on 6/Jan/08
I met William Shatner back in 1992, I did notice he had on very expensive Italian shoes--virtually no heel. He was just shy of 5'9 even though he is up in age. He was also exhaustd from a Trek convention. The 5'9 is very accurate Socom says on 8/Dec/07
I take that back. After some research I have found it is true that he very well could be 5'9. In fact, some websites claim he is taller. I would have never guessed. Always looked 5'7 to me. Socom says on 7/Dec/07
This has to be a mistake. He is 5'7, could be close to 5'8, but NO WAY 5'9. sf says on 5/Dec/07
Yea, I don't think he's taller than 5'7" now. He's just too short everytime I see him on TV. And, that's saying something, since they usually go out of their way to make people look taller. Especially William Shatner. Jack says on 3/Dec/07
William Shatner has a 6'5 presence, but the fact is that he is 5'7.5, it seems pretty obvious to me. sf says on 19/Nov/07
hmmm...I think I agree with the person who said Shatner was only 5'7" and I believe that was probably his peak height, even during Star Trek. Still, with 2 to 3 inch lifts, he is shorter than Spock, and many of the others on Star Treck. Was watching Boston Legal the other night and it looked like Spader had 3 inches on Shatner. How tall did we say Spader is? Shatner, at least now, can't be any taller than 5'7". I have no doubt someone as vain as Shatner is, did use lifts on Star Trek, but at the age of 76. maybe he isn't so keen on doing that anymore. Peak height not taller than 5'7" to 5'8".
Someone asked me why I thought Shatner was a bad actor - I guess, just watch any random episode of Star Treck to watch Shatner overact in every way possible - hell, he overacts just standing and posturing...but, I do gotta admit that I like him on Boston Legal. Fnietzsche1 says on 9/Nov/07
Captain Kirk will remain in pop culture long after many " tall actors' characters have come and gone. This country is really obsessed with ' BIG". Whether it height, a car, a physique....etc. You know the other one. Whose gonna remember Brad Pitt???? What was his great character??? Another great example is Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal!! guyfrommars says on 27/Oct/07
During the first season of Star Trek people wore higher heeled boots (2 inches maybe...) and then later they shifted to a much smaller heel (1 inch??) but as I recall Shatner and 5'6"ish Walter Koenig always wore the first season-style boots. Marcelo C. says on 6/Oct/07
Great Actor, and strong presence for Shatner !! He used to be thin, in a good shape and elegant too when walking. Altogether makes a distinguished elegant person, looking a bit taller. This used to be Will in the sixties. Dr. McCoy says on 31/Aug/07
First of all, who cares if he is not really 5'11 or 'tall' as he appears in Star Trek? There are countless actors who gain height through forced perspective or shoe enhancements. Second, I tend to think he was somewhere in the 5'7'' to 5'8'' range just by eying objects around him. Standing next to Bones or Spock, he looks perhaps 1.5 to 2 inches shorter which would be inline with 2-3 inch lifts. Regardless, his performance as Captain Kirk was good enough to become iconic; Captain Kirk still today is a symbol of strength and bravery (unlike the faggy Picard). fushizzledizzle says on 21/Jul/07
I think in his early days he hadn't fully made the transition from stage acting to TV acting. In stage acting you have to act for the people in the 50th row which requires over-expression. But on later TV shows he seemed a much more subtle actor having fully made the transition. Al says on 20/Jul/07
When he wore lifts in Trek it made him stand swaybacked and look S shaped in profile - so said Bob Justman, producer of Trek, in his book on the show Brad says on 15/May/07
I love how he puffs out his chest for that extra inch in every episode of every show he's ever done. Genny says on 14/May/07
Shatner was about 5'9''. Wasn't wearing lifts. I'm 5' 4 and a half..5'7 in heels. He was taller. Has no doubt shrunk a bit now, but 5' 6'' ? No. Tom z says on 12/May/07
sf why you say WS is a bad actor he won two emmys for boston legal....that is proof he a good actor. neil mcewan says on 10/May/07
shatner wears a rug o.k. you only have to look at his hair in the 60's star trek days and 20 years later his hair is much thicker in t.j. hooker days. MHouillon says on 18/Apr/07
@ Marco "there is no way he is 5'9" today"...
That's why Rob has listed the 5'9 as "WAS". Today he IS 172cm (5'7.75-5'8)-type. Brad says on 13/Apr/07
I bet Nimoy loves being taller than him. I should ask him next week at a convention. Harlan Ellison is the real dink. I saw him in '75 in NYC just go wild upon Paramount....a few decades later he was still short and a dink. He's got some good Shatner tales. Marco says on 12/Apr/07
A friend of mine who is a legit 6'1" met Shatner in a convention, there is no way he is 5'9" today, my friend had a seven inch height advantage over him. sf says on 20/Mar/07
damn, I loved those Shatner stories... ellen says on 18/Mar/07
Hate to burst Billy-Boy's bubble - but my dad worked with him several times. He is only 5'7" - he wears frankenstein looking shoes - and he is a jerk.
website fun to be had: Click Here sulldoggy says on 13/Mar/07
That comment about malnourishment effecting aging mens height? Bullsh-t! I eat like Shatner(unfortunately)and I've lost nearly an inch in height since my youth.
I'm 50 years old and 5'8", down from my football days of 5'9". Also, spine defects in men can affect height, shrinking discs, cartilage etc... sf says on 5/Mar/07
Anybody seen the updated Star Trek's? That is, the old shows, digitally remastered? Special effects are good, but they can't seem to do anything about Shatner's bad acting or even worse toupee... Brad says on 5/Mar/07
In the 60's the stealth heel was not around so Jim West & James Kirk wore big block heels. He pulled a Stallone height enhancer puffing out his chest and fillin' those lungs to get that extra inch. Ade says on 13/Feb/07
In some scenes of Star Trek you can spot Bill wearing some HUGE heeled shoes (really funny sight by the way). He really was no taller than 5'9". MHouillon says on 26/Dec/06
I think Shatner is a more a 171-172cm these days. ShortNSweet says on 26/Dec/06
I thought we all realized that Bill was compact in stature. It's not about height, it's about how TALL you CARRY yourself; self confidence. In that regard, Bill is a 7 footer. Brad says on 14/Dec/06
That's nice. Don't stand behind horses or in front of Romano. William Shatner says on 9/Dec/06
Brad
Yes to all your questions. Regarding my age, I'm immortal. Brad says on 9/Dec/06
Hey Bill? How old are you? Kevin T says on 6/Dec/06
Much is made of shrinking--generally men, especially--um, shall we say well-fed men, like Shatner, who are well-nourished, do not lose much height with age. Women do, often because they overdiet and don't get enough calcium.
Weight and toupee jokes aside, Bill is a damn fine-looking man for his age. We should all be so lucky. David says on 5/Dec/06
Shatner 173cm? in his dreams yes or with lifts yes!
Guys get serious,William is 5.7 tops! Anonymous says on 2/Dec/06
yea- more than dreadful. Embarrasing, but I'd guess that's William Shatner's middel name. D. Ray Morton says on 2/Dec/06
"And, what's up with that new game show??"
Yeah, I often appreciate such displays of reckless excess (not to mention Bill Shatner's dancing), but that thing is just dreadful. sf says on 1/Dec/06
Again - watch Boston Legal and he is clearly shorter than Spader by 2 inches. They don't even try to disguise it. He can't be over 5'8. And, what's up with that new game show?? Brad says on 1/Dec/06
Hi Bill. Did you and Heather ever do the cha-cha? Ever put on 3" cowboy boots and be 6' 1"? Ever go to Bob's Big Boy and have the vanilla shake? Have pizza with Gary Nardino? Get back the 10 million Paramount owes you for using you likeness '69-'79? Rackon says on 2/Nov/06
I've met Shatner many times over the past 20 years, stood next to him, talked with him while we were at horse shows and equine functions. We both raise and show American Saddlebred horses. (STOP right there - I know what yer thinkin! These are not western horses so Shatner isn't wearing cowboy boots anytime I'm around him - dress shoes or low heeled jod boots thank you very much.) He participates at an event I manage and he married an former neighbor of mine.
Bill's probably close to 5'9" in street shoes. I'm 5'11" and I don't especially look down on him. He may even have looked 5'10" in shoes back during his salad days. As many people do with age, he may be shrinking a bit. Last time I saw him was at the World Championship Horse show in Louisville KY the third week in August.
Unlike some celebs, Bill appears "life sized" to me in person, neither especially tall nor especially short. 5'8"+ so sounds about right to me. George H says on 16/Oct/06
Sure Bill, and I bet you weigh a lean 170 pounds, too! rofl William Shatner says on 15/Oct/06
Hello, my name is William Shatner and I am 5 feet 10 inches tall. Brad says on 17/Sep/06
He's 5' 8". He looked up at me and went "geezus". He's so funny even though he just is horrible to work with according to everybody. If you are coming out of Broadway in lead work and you get upstaged by a Vulcan a few years later, you'd be pissed off like a wet dog. My aunt worked for Andy Griffith and he was a dick also. Linda says on 9/Sep/06
I love the 'net. A whole site devoted to the height of celebrities. We ALL need to step away from the keyboard! Saying that, there is a commercial here in the UK for cereal. Shatner is in a police line-up and the height indication lines have him at 6". Hmmm. I wonder who insisted on that. I saw him at a theatre party in Toronto once, the guy's, like, 5'7". I towered over him at 5'10"
[Editor Rob: but if I step away from the keyboard my bank balance doesn't increase!] sf says on 15/Aug/06
Heck - I think he comes off as arrogant even today in most of his interviews. Just seems to be kind of full of himself. I've never read anything good about the guy, really. His old Star Trek castmates mostly hated him. Brad says on 10/Aug/06
Kirk did him in after '69. Crucified his casting calls much like Adam West who is a fine actor too. He got madder each decade. George H says on 9/Aug/06
Only just noticed the comments on the various wigs and rugs. Man, that's hilarious stuff. You're all right when you ask "what the hell do these celebs think? That nobody will notice? rofl But then, a Trump combover is not all that, either.
Shatner always comes across as a guy with a great sense of humor. I didn't know he was such an arrogant prick. Did know he's about as wide as tall (or short) these days! Brad says on 9/Aug/06
5' 8" when I met him. Not a nice guy. He lightens up if you say his work in T.J. Hooker was good and not mention Star Trek. Great sense of humour though. "Romano is chasing girls, he's not here, he's chasing girls"...then a raised eyebrows look with his pupils buried to the top his eyes. I almost died laughing. dingdong says on 6/Aug/06
yea looking at him with micheal j. fox being 5'4 shatner really does look about 5'7 Rick Allen says on 27/Jul/06
5'6 to 5'7 (yeah, 5'9 to 5'10 with lifts) Dave says on 19/Jul/06
I met Shatner on the graham Norton Show, he is 5'7' as im 6ft its easy to judge when you are chatting to him. Oh and hes as arrogant as everyone says, spoiled my hero image of him! I was with him before he went on and he was as nervous as hell. Parker says on 21/Jun/06
THe Columbo episode appears to be on virtually every week in the UK. In my opinion, Shatner always appeared to have at least 2 inches on Falk with or without his 'lifts' as per storyline. Unlike Robert Conrad, who looked about the same height as Falk in the Columbo episode he appeared in. I'd say Falk was around 5'6, but has absolutely awful posture - may be 5'7 if he stood up straight. Frank2 says on 20/Jun/06
Plummer is about 5'8". He wore huge lifts in The Sound of Music as well as The Fall of the Roman Empire. He also wears a rug. guyfrommars says on 19/Jun/06
In the old episode of Columbo he plays a short actor wearing elevator shoes. When he takes the shoes off he looks not an inch taller than Peter Falk. On the other hand Christopher Plummer says in an interview on the Star Trek VI DVD that he and Shatner were almost the same size so Shatner could wear his clothes when he stood in for him once in Henry IV (or V?? i don't remember that... :-))
This man could be 5'6" as well as 5'9". In Star Trek he was between 5'11" and 6' wearing 3" lifts. My guess that he is most possibly 5'8". deanna says on 18/Jun/06
Last year (Fall, 2005) my brother & I met Bill Shatner. I'm just under 5'7" & my brother is a tat under 5'9". Of all the things to talk about, my brother & Shatner got talking about shoes; they had on almost the same sneakers. At some point, both men took off their shoes to compare I don't know what, lol. Anyway, I'd say, from my vantage point of about 2-3 feet away that my brother & Shatner were the same height in their socks, so unless Shatner had on "magic" socks....
By the way, Mr. Shatner could not have been a nicer, down-to-earth person. He was polite, friendly & had a great sense of humor (qualities much more important than one's height I might add). albert says on 14/May/06
At a party over the weekend - I just met a woman who's mother went to school with Shatner in Canada when he was in school. She said everyone teased this short little kid because he wanted to be an actor. Kids 5'10" or 5'8" aren't teased. Kids 5'6" are. He was a short Jewish kid that wanted to be an actor. He did and made millions! TJ says on 3/May/06
I think Tony went nuts years ago Frank :-) Man, that's a terrible wig though. At least Shatner's recent wig on Boston Legal looks believable. Tony should take a leaf out of his book. Frank2 says on 30/Apr/06
I understand Tony rents it out space under it to visiting black widow spiders. Remember the famous old tale that Truman Capote liked to tell Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show about a woman who never washed her hair, but instead kept it sprayed down on her head? It seems she kept getting sicker and sicker and finally doctors discovered she had a nest of black widows living in her hair that were occasionally biting her scalp! I never bought that tall tale, but Truman got a kick out of telling it.
If you think Tony's rug looks awful, you should see the tacky outfits he wears and especially the shoes. I sometimes wonder if celebs have a brain under their toupees. sf says on 30/Apr/06
Just weighing in, but I gotta agree Tony Curtis' rug is pretty bad. Elio says on 29/Apr/06
'Celebrugs' is a great idea.
Maybe instead of a height listing (and peak height) you could have a 'Norwood Scale' value for each celeb.
[Editor Rob: what a bad wig = 10, good wig = 1 and people can vote etc on the scale of 'wigality'?
hmm, more likely to get some 'stick' on a site like that, and you'd need to arrange some deal with a few agencies to try to get use of pics on the cheap] Frank2 says on 28/Apr/06
Lets see.....along with Shatner we'd list Gary Cooper, Edward G. Robinson, Humphrey Bogart, George Raft, Preston Foster, Brian Donlevy, Paul Lukas, Charles Boyer, Burt Reynolds, Billy Zane, Jude Law, Lorne Greene, Robert Montgomery, William Powell, Robert Douglas, Alec Guinness, Anthony Quinn, Robert Armstrong, John Astin, Alan Ladd, Robert Duvall, Lee J. Cobb, Basil Rathbone, José Ferrer, Warren Stevens, Donald Crisp, Barry Sullivan, Edward Arnold, Lionel Atwill, Akim Tamiroff, Dean Jagger, Stephen McNally, Ricardo Montalban, and on and on and on...
Oh, and as far as women go, Ida Lupino suffered from alopecia and had to wear full wigs as well as glued-on eyebrows and eyelashes. Most actresses wore wigs since it was easier for them to play a specific role calling for a certain length of hair, style and color. Hitchcock had most of his leading women wear wigs and blonde ones at that. Tippi Hedren told me she had to have this complete blonde wig attached for her roles in both Marnie and The Birds. Tippi has a nice full head of blonde hair of her own, but it didn't suit Hitch since he wanted her to have a much lower hairline. Hitch had a particular vision of how he wanted his leading ladies to look which many believe was to resemble Grace Kelly. But in films Grace did for Hitch she also wore wigs! Danny says on 27/Apr/06
Are you counting the extra inches of his toupee as well?
[Editor Rob: celebtoupes.com, maybe I'll do an offshoot site...toupee or not toupee...frank2 would love such a site!] MHouillon says on 19/Apr/06
Current Height 172-173cm,
WAS 175cm in his heydays Frank2 says on 1/Apr/06
McQueen was a no BS guy. He hated pretense. He liked people who were straight shooters. He despised sycophants and leaches. I just wish I had the opportunity to get to know him better, but I wasn't into racing dirt bikes and cars so he didn't exactly look on me as a close friend. McQueen liked guys who shared his interests. Then later he got scewed up on drugs and let his health go to hell. But I understand that towards the end he became deeply religious as well as very spiritual. He was basically a good soul. Frank2 says on 31/Mar/06
"Yeah,nimoy is a piece of garbage.I had my arms around nimoy and Deforest Kelly for a photo,and nimoys walks out the photo.thank god I have kelly."
Well, he wasn't exactly friendly when I met him, but he was polite. Your story reminds me of my former assistant at Fox who attended a screening of some film noir movie that starred Farley Granger. The actor turned up at the screening so my assistant took along a poster he had just purchased on ebay of a Granger film. When he appraoched Granger and inquired if he would sign his poster, Granger looked at him and said, "No, I don't think so." and walked away. Some actors are just plain jackasses.
RedBull says on 31/Mar/06
Hmm, everyone thinks 5ft8 eh?...
I remember a picture of him standing next to Candice Bergman and Sandra Bullock
They were wearing flats , If Sandra is 5ft7 then shatner seemed no taller, if not a half inch shorter than Sandra which would = Shatner 5'6.5"
The truth is all we can do is guess. the only way to REALLY know is to measure them yourself. Hmm... would Tom Cruise let me measure him? I doubt it,lol. sf says on 30/Mar/06
Watch how Shatner always walks or runs in Star Trek, always kind of hunched over like he's trying not to fall over. Seriously.. I noticed before I ever knew he wore lifts. sf says on 29/Mar/06
Nimoy aint 6'3"!!!!!! But, I do believe Shatner's about 5'8" Parker says on 29/Mar/06
I saw that Columbo episode and Shatner always looked taller than Falk to me with or without his lifts - 5'8 seems about right Frank2 says on 29/Mar/06
By the way, Nimoy is not 6'3". Never was and never will be. He's a little over 6'. I met him back in 1991 and we spoke when he attended the music scoring session at Fox for Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. He was only slightly taller than me. Shatner didn't show up, but I've seen him on other occasions and he's no more than 5'8". Now as old age sinks in along with packing on so many pounds I doubt he's now any more than 5'7". Watch the old 1961 film Judgement at Nuremberg. In it Shatner is shorter than 5'10" Richard Widmark and is about the same height as 5'8" Spencer Tracy. And back then Shatner didn't wear lifts. Drooperdoo says on 28/Mar/06
TNTinCA, You said that Shatner was "clearly" taller than Ben Stiller in "Dodgeball". Of course, he was: Shatner wears lifts, Stiller doesn't. Without his lifts, he's 5'6''. With them, he's 5'8''-5'8''1/2. TNTinCA says on 27/Mar/06
5'8" is accurate I think. He was clearly taller than Ben Stiller in Dodgeball. ivan jones says on 2/Mar/06
they say deForest kelly was 5ft10 and on star trek william shatner was 5ft11 but on star trek deForest Kelly always looked taller than william shatner Anthony says on 15/Jan/06
I met William Shatner through a mutual friend. I stood directly in front of him and shook his hand. I am 5'8 almost bang on (a couple of hairs taller). I was wearing flats and Shatner was wearing runners. We were very close to the same height. I am a huge Shatner fan and paid extra close attention to this detail. Trust me, he is no more than 5'8 (in shoes) deke says on 12/Jan/06
Check out the old "Columbo" episode and see Shatner next to Peter Falk, and tell me you still think he's as tall as 5'11". He's more like 5'8", since on that Columbo he was not significantly taller than Falk, which surprised the heck out of me. Jack says on 5/Jan/06
Shatner is 5'7". Just watch 3rd Rock from the Sun and he is dwarfed by the 6ft Kristen Johnson by at least 4 inches.
Shatner wears lifts on tv. mstro says on 27/Nov/05
I am a Chiropractor, I saw Shatner at a chiropractic convention not more than a couple of feet away from me about 2 years ago. I am 5'7". He had on shoes that I can only describe as looking like bowling shoes, I found this in odd contrast to his suit. Of course, the bit he was shooting was done with him sitting down behind a desk so perhaps this was a comfort thing. I paid particular attention to his height and I'd say he was easily 5'9" and most likely 5'10". His shoes didn't appear to me like they would be supporting any lifts especially given the excess weight he was sporting, looked more like an orthopedic thing. Heightfind says on 16/Oct/05
I think Shatner WAS 5'9" in his 40's. His footwear + lifts took him close to 6 feet tall. In the Columbo episode from 1976, Shatner was 46 yrs old and was involved in a scene where he runs across his courtyard in flat sandals to dispose of the gun.He is definitely not a midget in that scene,probably at least 5'9". 46 is still too young to lose any discernibe height due to age. Furthermore,the episode of Star Trek from 1969 - the one featuring the Roman styled planet -Shatner and Nimoy are dressed in togas and sandals - Kirk is perhaps 3 inches shorter than Spock in those scenes - he doesn't look small at all - quite respectable height, in fact. Nowadays, he is 75 and looks very round-shouldered and puffy.He is mabye an inch shorter than he used to be - no more,but it looks more because he is heavier and more stooped. MHouillon says on 15/Oct/05
Okay, Mr. R : William Shatner is in fact not larger than 9 inches! He is just as big as a Yorkshire Terrier. But he makes us believe he is bigger than this. Mr. R says on 13/Oct/05
I stand by my sighting. I saw him at the Osmosis Jones premiere, as he walked past me to his limo. I say he is between 5'6" and 5'7". MHouillon says on 12/Oct/05
Shatner is a bit short, ok. He wears lifts, right. But he is not 171cm short (not in Tom Cruise range). He's more in the Phil Collins range or a bit more:
I'd say Bill Shatner WAS 5'9.5 (177cm) during his 60's-StarTrek-time and has shrunk to 5'8.5" (174cm) now. During his last Spock&Kirk movie "Star Trek VI: The undiscovered country" (1989) he stood many times beside 6'1" Leonard Nimoy.
He was a solid inch shorter, about 6'0" (183cm) then, maybe 5'11.5" (182cm). Reduce the lift and the 4 cm heeled Starfleet-boots and we are at 5'8.5" (174cm) minimum. (Spock did wear the same Starfleet boots, but that would mean that Shatner wasn't 174 but 178 which isn't. (Perhaps Shatner had higher heels special added to his boots and Nimoy's heels were flat.) But that still brings Shatner to 174cm.
DEAR ROB !!! : If William Shatner really is 171cm and he lifts himself up to about 6'0"/5'11.5" (=11-12cm difference) his belt-line would be much too high in comparison to other actors (f.e. Nimoys) and that would have looked ridiculous!!!
It would be really consequent if you change his hieght to a more realistic 174cm.
[Editor Rob: this is one height I keep meaning to come back to as 171 maybe is a tad short, even though Mr R will argue he's no bigger than 169cm ;)
I was looking at recent pics of him beside Leonard Nimoy and you know having seen nimoy up close and then looking at shatner beside him I will regrade shatner...] |
