Is 167 cm 5 5 or 5 6

167 cm converts to approximately 5 feet 5.7 inches, which means it's closer to 5'6" than 5'5" when rounded to the nearest inch. The precise calculation shows 167 cm equals 5.479 feet, or 5 feet and about 5.75 inches. In practical terms, most people would round this to 5'6" on forms, dating profiles, or casual conversation, though technically it sits just slightly below that mark.

This distinction, while seemingly minor, can matter in specific contexts where exact measurements are required—such as passport applications, medical records, or clothing size charts that use specific height brackets. The half-inch difference between 5'5" and 5'6" may determine which clothing inseam length fits best or which shoe size provides optimal fit in brands that correlate sizing with height. For everyday purposes, saying you're 5'6" at 167 cm is perfectly acceptable and accurate within normal rounding conventions. If absolute precision is required, stating "5 feet 5 and three-quarters inches" or simply using the metric measurement of 167 cm provides the most accuracy.
