Digitigrade height?

So, since obviously walking on your toes adds a couple of inches to your height, the poll question is... How tall are you... when you stand on your toes in a digitigrade fashion, like most furs?

This poll refers to your mundane selves, although you can apply this to your fursonas if you wish. A series of ranges have been provided, but feel free to post the actual figure here.

For me, 6'4" - I'm 6'2" plantigrade.

(Gives me a few inches over my characters ':cool:')

I don't know my hight but I only gain about 3/4 inch because I tend to bend my knees.

Pretty much the same, because I bend my knees to keep a comfortable balance, although I do prop myself over the 6'0" mark (because I'm 182cm and 6' is 183cm).

Although, I can walk around on the tips of my toes, then I'm 6'3" '<img'>

Wow I'm the shortest one to reply so far. I'm 5'7" normally, probably no more than 5'9" on my toes. ':cry:'

I'm 5'11" plantigrade, never measured digitigrade, but it'd probably take me up to at least 6 foot.

I'm only 5'5" normally.  In digitigrade stance (which I'm in a lot), I'm the pretty well the same cuz I bend my knees, I lean forward slightly, and I have only mid sized feet.  I know foxes are really small compared to other animals, but darnit this stinks.  damn being short!!!  well, at least my bulky built like a rock appearace makes up for it.  '<img'>

Wow!  ':shock:' Furs are not only getting younger...
they are getting TALLER!

This ponyfox is 5'3" when flatfooted... which is almost never.
I am around 5'5" on tiptoe... which I tend to walk on.  (My toes that is.)

Edited due to premature ejacpostation.
Had not listed my height.

We need to start a 'petite paws' group for all us under 5'5" furs!
And after all, aren't the shorter furs the cutest... foxes, rabbits, cats, dogs, ponies (ie minis) etc.

I'd say I'm almost 6' in digitgrade since I'm 5' 10" plantigrade.

Although I'm not actually short, my younger brother is taller than I am so I feel your pain, petite furs  '<img'>

Heh. That's actually not a bad idea. And yes we are cute. It's hard to be cute if you're a giant. Power to the short people!  '<img'>
