This has been brought up several times in the past, so I thought I'd try and get some real figures. Just for fun I also listed the average for men/women in America, including shoe size (Read Below)...
----------------------------------------------------------
Q: What is the average height and shoe size for American women and men?
A: You thought you had me stumped? The shoe question did give me pause. It happens, though, that the United States Government is interested in such information (for solving human engineering problems or goodness knows what). Our government has published an amazing variety of body-size measurements, including: height above ground to top of head, shoulder, nipple... ear length, palm length, head breadth...
American women, on the average, wear a size 8-wide shoe (American men: size 10.5) — Approximately 68% of American women wear shoes between the sizes of 6.5 and 9.5.
Average height for women: 5 feet, 4 inches (163 cm). About 68% are between 5 feet 2 inches and 5 feet 7 inches.
Average height for men: 5 feet, 9 inches (174 cm). About 68% are between 5 feet 6 inches and 5 feet 11 inches.
