About this conversion

Feet to centimetres is an essential height conversion for medical records, sports recruitment, and international clothing sizing. One foot = 30.48 cm exactly. Height reference: 5′0″ = 152.4 cm, 5′6″ = 167.64 cm, 5′10″ = 177.8 cm, 6′0″ = 182.88 cm, 6′4″ = 193.04 cm. Passport applications in many countries require height in centimetres, yet many people only know their height in feet and inches. Sports combine both systems — the NBA lists heights in feet, while FIFA and UEFA use centimetres. When buying a bed, mattress, or piece of furniture from a European retailer, converting your measurements from feet to cm prevents costly mistakes.
