Title: Legs are short or not?
Post by: WesternMusicFan on September 06, 2024, 05:01:59 PM
I am 162cm and my tibiae are 34cm and my femurs are 40.5cm.(I also learned that a 185cm man's best tibial length was around 39cm)
I just did the math and it seems to me that my legs are pretty fine.
I think this explains why I do not look as short as I am supposed to look and there were even people who thought I was 170+cm.

How do you measure your tibia? From ankle to knee or from feet?

If you are 1.62m nobody will say you are 1.70+ !!
Not even if you have high heeled soles... because people notice

Well for once I got asked 'How tall are you? 170+cm?' by a servant in a clothes store of a department and for the another time the similar story happened lol. I did not wear insoles or smth like that.
