without the footwear advantage he'd be as tall as Rob. I think most people would agree. Let's not forget Rob is more like 5'8.25-5'8.5

Honestly looks no taller than Rob, even if we deduce the footwear advantage and the slouch.

I struggle to see Sam measuring 5'8.5 barefoot based on this single photoshot.
5'8.25 would be the max.

What pic were you seeing? He's clearly no taller than Rob even with his footwear advantage. Accounting for footwear, he looks around 5'7.5" maybe 5'7.75" tops.

The top of his even with his footwear advantage does not edge Rob's and is in fact, a bit lower and then you factor in footwear advantage and would be about 0.75-inches shorter than Rob by what is apparent.

Yes but th 173.4-6 is more realistic for real height so its your real height and 173-173.2 is your low height.

@JohnMoore-162cm too low, if rob is like 173.5-6cm, he is not 5'8 as he claims, he is more idk why he claims 5'8, Rob, why do you claim 5'8 even though you are more, in every sneaker video you are 173.5-6cm at midday, that confuses me. Even your own average guesses are 173.7cm.

Editor Robin many videos I wouldn't be quite at my low. If I'm more active I will go closer to 173-173.2cm than 173.4-173.6.

Rob has a footwear disadvantage and is the same height as this guy wearing 1.2 inch footwear. He's probably shorter than Rob, my guess is a strong 5'7, I would say at least 172cm range for him.

Rob, what size is your head if you don't mind me asking. It's got to be above average for your 5'8.25''. 9.7''-10.1'' it looks bigger than 9.25''. most 5'10''-6' guys have got only 9.25-9.5'' heads.

I'd argued this earlier, but there is no way he's taller than Rob, not even by a half-inch.

Just noticed that he's been upgraded from 5'10 to 5'11 on other sites. He is neither 5'11 or 5'10. 5'8.5 seems to be right.

His head isn't unusually small at all. He's below average, his head size looks about average, more on the taller end of average, for his height.

People, look at the shoulders! Sam is a bit taller than Rob and he is not standing straight. I am this exact height as well. I am 5'8.5 and even 5'9.5 sometimes when I wear boots.

Editor Rob doing exercise and having good core muscles can help with holding your posture close to your measured height.

Editor Rob excess fat might effect posture, but 1-2 stone overweight not so much...3-4 stone over a much higher chance of making you stoop a bit

He looked big in true blood with boots. To rob, I'm a bit confused with this listing as you guys are identical in height, unless that is, you're basing your judgement on you meeting him rather than this pic.

Also his forehead is higher than yours; that may contribute to explain the optical ilusion of him being taller.

Rob,
list him what you want but doesn't the fact that he has his arms wrapped around your shoulders give him a slight boost on you? To me he looks the same height as you plus with his arms wrapped around your shoulders, could possibly be slightly shorter than you, maybe?

Editor Rob sometimes that can effect the other person, but only if they are putting a lot of weight or pulling you etc. In this photo I don't remember it effecting me, but I just went over my files and realised, I was in converse this weekend and sam in Air Force one...so to answer lol93's, he has advantage!

This picture is a clear example of how easy it is to be tricked by our own perceptions of other people's heights. The optical ilusion one gets is that Trammell is taller than you; yet you are almost exactly the same height.

@MD Scroll the screen down and you'll see their eye levels are exactly the same to the millimeter, I think there's some sort of optical illusion that looks otherwise.
