I saw him in hollywood last year, he wasn't close to me but i would say he is like 178 at most, and like 183 with his big ass boots on.

Good picture, cobra. I have a hard time believing Walker was 6'2" since he claimed 6'1", but he looks taller than a flat 6'1" to me so I'll assume he was about 6'1.5" and should be at least 6'2.5" in those shoes, maybe slightly more and he's only a hair taller than Vin there so Vin has to be around 6'2" in those boots and is passing for his 6'1" claim. Vin looks like he has lifts in those boots, imo based on his knee height, posture, angle of his foot compared to Walker and they are thick enough boots to put a big lift in, but I don't believe for a second he's getting anything more than a 3 inch boost max, and likely less. He's definitely not under 5'11" at any time of the day, imo. I think he's 5'11.5", seems like he'd be right between 5'11" and 6 feet without his boots, and easily looks over 6 feet with them, even 6'1" as he looks there.

Apparently Vin is the same height as Elvis Presley was when he was alive, which is to say, a quarter of an inch short of the magic Tall Guy mark. All I can say is, when I die and am applying to be admitted to heaven, I hope the admissions committee isn't as picky about fractions of inches (so to speak) as Celebrity Heights. Because when I get turned down at the gates of heaven, I want it to be at least a foot, you know what I mean? None of this quarter of an inch stuff, if you get me. And I think that you do.

Wahlberg and Diesel are almost the same height

I think 5'11.25/181 cm or maybe even 5'11 flat is better for Vin. I basically have the same opinion as most other commenters here; he looks too short with his lifts next to genuinely tall guys for him to actually be about six feet tall.

I'll join the choir doubting his listing here. He looks to be 6'1'' at best, and that's when he stands perfectly straight in thick boots which are most likely lifts, like here:

179 cm sounds more accurate to me, i know it's hardly believable, but this guy has fooled a lot here with his heels.180 cm is really the max i would give.

Vin is one of the celebrities I'm most sure wears lifts. Aside from wear thick boots 99% of the time, something often just looks off. Image # 166763319 on Getty Images from 4/16/13 in Las Vegas is a good example of what I'm talking about. Vin looks like he's standing on something in his boots, his foot doesn't appear flat, just compare it to Paul Walker standing next to him. The side angle shows this particularly well, and his lower leg simply appears too long. He appears quite awkward here as well, like he's standing on something once again. Click Here That picture isn't doing him any favors since Tyrese is listed here at just 5'10.75", and Mr. R's story that he was told he was too tall at 5'11.5" to be Tyrese's stand in suggests he could even be closer to 5'10", and Vin's elevators and forced posture should give him a pretty nice advantage yet even if Tyrese is 5'10.75", Vin isn't looking any taller than 6 foot. Plus, I think Paul Walker was more 6'1.5" than 6'2" yet Paul is standing further from the camera with loose posture and flat sneakers that could give Vin close to a 2 inch footwear advantage, yet Vin still doesn't appear any taller. Not ideal to compare Vin with Walker since they aren't side by side, and they're outside, but if Paul was only 6'1" as he claimed, then Vin's height is even more questionable. I've thought 5'11.5" was a pretty good guess for a while and he can look like a legit 6 footer, but considering his boots, lifts and posture, I'm thinking he might be closer to 5'11" than 6 feet, but clearly taller than 5'9"-5'10" range.
He's pulling off close to 6'1" here, though. Click Here Back to back, Paul is only slightly taller than Vin in boots, probably not even an inch. Maybe Paul is dropping a bit of posture, but if Vin doesn't have lifts and just the boot advantage, that'd put him at no shorter than 6 feet. With lifts, he'd still likely be at least 5'11", but it's kind of funny he was listed at 6'2" about 10 years ago.

paul walker (187 cm) had 2 cm on him while vin diesel
-is closer to the the camera (+ 1 cm)
-has a very good posture (+1 cm)
-wear thick boots (+6 cm)
187 cm paul wark's height-8 cm=179 cm
seems believable, a strong 5'10"
Every photos show he can't be more than 180 cm.

Come on rob he is no more than your height max. Try a pair of Timbs(few sizes bigger than you normally would) and smack a decent lift inside it. Suddenly you are near the 6ft mark.

Yeah, Rob. He has impeccable posture, i'd say ridicolous at times! Plus very thick shoes and i wouldnt be surprised if he decided to pick up a good pair of lifts for some events. Would you be surprised if he turned out to be even under 5'11 under a stadiometer? Or that sounds impossible to you? I admit i've seen nothing of him except some pictures, though...

Realistically he is probably around 5'10" to 5'11".....this is probably very true because of his desire to wear very thick healed shoes...if he were 6' to 6'1 he probably wouldn't be trying so hard to be tall.....why?...because at 6' with shoes he would be around 6'1" to 6'2"..no need for super thick shoes.

Walker is 6'1", which would put Vin at 5'10" or 5'10.5" at most. Vin being 5'11" or taller is pure nonsense. He's clearly wearing 2-3 inch lifts.
@RobV, You are correct, Vin is clearly wearing 2-3 inch lifts in his boots, lots of evidence points towards this. But there will never be 100% proof of anyone wearing lifts.

@ gsbr. Interesting point about Diesel's boots being so thick-soled it almost makes you think he might not use elevators/lifts (too obvious) - as a lift/elevator user myself, I have always in the past fought shy of getting boots that look too clumpy. Frankly, stuff that is too thick soled can make it look like you are wearing height additions when you aren't! With his access and money, he could buy made-to-measure undetectable elevators which could easily add 2" and fairly easily 3". But there is also the counter-intuitive argument as well. Wear thick soles, people think your just wearing clumpy boots that add an inch, and in fact you have elevators/lifts in them giving you some serious lift. Remember, nothing is impossible in showbiz, it's all an illusion and things get taken to what average people think are crazy degrees.
You say no-one has ever produced evidence of Diesel wearing lifts - indeed not, but then no-one has ever produced evidence of anyone famous using lifts (other than comment and opinion and conjecture). You'd need to get photos of him waving them in the air or manage to get into his wardrobe. Even the comments about John Wayne mentioned elsewhere are rumour put about by actors/associates who probably had an agenda or an axe to grind.

Even if custom elevator boots can be placed in lifts A.) it's counterproductive to put lifts in big heeled footwear and B.) nobody has provided evidence of Diesel wearing lifts.

The listing would be right on if he didnt wear those massive boots. I think they give about 5cm they are thick. His posture is Always forced nowadays but i concede that hes possibly 180cm 5'10.75. With that footwear though i just dont see him being more than that.

You're not seriously arguing that he doesn't wear lifts at times, are you? Because this guy is one of the most obvious offenders. We're not just talking difference in footwear choice, but what he has in his footwear on any given day. This much is obvious from years of pictures.

Diesel's decision to wear boots instead of dress shoes comes down to preference. The fact that he prefers boots implies he does not have hidden lifts- what would be the point in hiding them when his footwear advantage is already obvious?

If vin put on some normal footwear he'd be the same height as Tyrese in that pic.

Looks 5'11.5"- 6'0" range with Paul Walker. This 5'11.75" listing is a reasonable one.

Vin Is definitely 6'1-1.5 boots on they seem to give 1.8in so that exacly 5'11.25-11.75 without, now he he has a 1in lift inside the shoes will give 2.3-2.4in that will make him still 5'10.75 range so stop with 5'10 flat nonesens , even if he has 2in heels plus 2 in lifts those will give altogether 3in , since the foot is pivoting very mush in a 4in heel and he walks normaly so very lidl to no lifts , vin is 5'11.2-11.8 181-182cm

f he really was this height he would be like 186-187 range in those boots of his..thats without lifts. I measured myself 186 range in timberlands and im this height. He doesnt look 6'1 1/2 does he? He looks like a 6 footer boots on which puts him again in the 5'10 - 5'10 1/2 range.

He doesn't necessarily wear them all the time, as you've shown, but he has been wearing customer elevators for years so it would be second nature to diesel by now.
With regards to dress shoe's I would say proper dress shoes are a solid inch heel, however you see many actors with dress shoes with chunkier heels which are clearly designed to boost height, just follow one of the many links off this site to Dons, have a look at the range of dress shoes for height gain. What I'm saying is that Diesel could easily get a pair of custom dress shoes with a hidden heel which would give him a 2 to 2.5 inch boost, maybe even 3 at a push, closing the gap to his fellow actors so why doesn't he? He makes himself look slightly daft by putting his boots on while everyone around is dressed normal, he wouldn't do that for 2.5 inches when he can get custom dress shoes with that. Those boots give anywhere from 3 inches+. Don't forget Diesel always has ridiculous posture a lot of the time to gain every little mm he can.

Like I said, Diesel was shorter than Ross in their first interview together in 2009, which certainly wasn't a red carpet premiere event. If he had his boots back then, it seems odd he wouldn't wear them while in the presence of an 187 cm host. Likewise, in that same year, Diesel looked about two to three inches shorter than Paul Walker at events where he wasn't dressed up.
Click Here
Also, Diesel's fellow actors aren't attending the premieres barefoot. They're also getting boosts from their own dress shoes. A standard dress shoe has about a half an inch heel, maybe a one inch heel at most. Diesel would be 6'0.25"-6'0.75" in them, but Walker would be 6'2.5"-6'3" and Dwayne Johnson would be 6'3.5"-6'4". The difference in height between them would remain unchanged, negating the extra boost Diesel got. He wouldn't appear 6'1" because he'd still be a few inches shorter than them. A two to three inch boot, on the other hand, would make Diesel look at least 6'1" when alongside 6'2" and 6'3" actors. In the second interview, I'd say Ross was about 6'1.75" in his dress shoes. Two and a half inch boots would make Diesel 6'2", enough to edge out Ross.

He really has, for example the first fast and furious film was 2001 and he was wearing them back then. I'm not saying he dons 4 inches of footwear all the time but you don't wear custom elevators to a black tie premier event, Diesel does this an awful lot whereas if he was actually 182cm he certainly wouldn't need to as a pair of decent dress shoes would make him a comfortable 6ft 1. There is no other viable reason why he would be wearing those boots to premiers, that in itself says they give more than 2 inches because he could get a pair of custom dress shoes to easily gain 2 inches in height. At the bare minimum they give 3 inches. There are photo's about of Diesel looking ridiculous because he has so much footwear on.

Diesel clearly hasn't been wearing footwear that big for awhile. He was shorter than Ross in their first interview. His legs only look disproportional in the first image because he's walking. In the second image, where he's standing up straight, his upper leg looks the same length as his lower leg. There's still no concrete evidence of Diesel wearing lifts and like I said in another comment, it would be better to put them in ordinary sized boots, so his height boosters would be less obvious. And Carr is 5'11", he had at least two inches on Alan Carr in the Gocompare commercial they did.

Jimmy carr is 5ft 10. Anyway back to Vin. He won't have any problem walking in them because he's done it for years. Now those boots on there own wouldn't make Vin's lower legs look so far out of proportion, from the knee down to the floor is absolutely ridiculous but you are being fooled by custom elevator boots there my friend. Elevator shoes while having a decent heel will nearly always have further base inside, not just under the heel, but the entire boot. Search 'Vin Diesel Height' on youtube and there is a good short video with an example of what I mean, first video.
Anway as I said before his lower legs look ridiculous, that isn't 2 inches of footwear, if it was he would still look proportionate.

Prove he has hidden lifts in his boots. It seems a little odd he would wear lifts in big heeled boots when lifts are supposed to hide your footwear advantage. Wouldn't it be a better idea for Diesel to put them in ordinary looking shoes so less people realize his shoes are making him significantly taller than he really is?
@john 182
Yeah, Ross is taller in the earlier interview. In the 2013 interview, Diesel is taller. When they hug, Ross' head fails to cover up Diesel's head. And Dwayne Johnson is 6'3", of course Diesel would feel shorter than him.

Ross is 187 cm, he has nearly three inches on the 180 cm Jimmy Carr. The only part he appears taller than Diesel in the 2013 interview is at 3:55 and that's because he's raising his head. Furthermore, while Ross' eyes are above Diesel's, the tops of their heads appear to be at the same level. Lastly, I've seen nothing about a correlation between lifts and the base of a boot. No matter what, bigger lifts means your feet are going higher off the ground.

With ease with big lifts as long as the base of the boot is wide. Simple science 8)

While there aren't any good angles between the two, Diesel does look taller than Ross in his boots. I'd say they make him at least 6'1.75". And he doesn't have any problems walking in them, so the heel can't be that big, probably two or two and a half inches, enough to edge out Ross if he's 5'11.75".
On another note, it looks like Diesel has taken up wearing bigger footwear in recent years because he was shorter than Ross in an earlier interview.

If Vin Diesel was under this height, then he wouldn't have appeared taller than the 187 cm Jonathan Ross. Obviously, he's not taller than Ross barefoot, his huge footwear helped give him an edge. But he also would have needed to be already close to Ross' height in order to become taller than him.

some buff guys appear taller doe to bodyproportions with longish arms and a buffed upper body to match the skinny legs. the same case with stallone..where for example you have jay cutler one big ass mr olympia massive allover- claims 175cm
but looks 169cm next to others and could very well be that height too because of his massive build he won't appear taller on screen rather shorter - whereas VD is buff but not that buff.

I personally Think He is between 169cm -176cm like Norris and stallone.( hard to tell because of the silly boots that tops even the hard lifters. Wich makes me wonder if He is shorter than norris! Like the famed video out there( Norris at 73 prob with cowboy boots) but VD almost positively got his loved boots on that sure must give more height .
Than the much older texas ranger who is just a hair under VD in height.

PW was taller than VD in fast 5 closing scene even when he was barefeet and VD had those giga boots on. Think about it. It all adds up. The 185-188cm in boots for VD is a joke!

It's possible that those huge boots are near 2in, plus half inch lifts he could get a boost of 6cm so if he can pull off 6'1'' then he could be really just 5'11'' or a bit under it. I still think 5'11'' flat is a good shout for him, those boots he wears are one of the biggest in hollywood and he's always wearing them.

Lorne you should be Banned for that BS you just wrote. you clearly know jack! About that pile you just wrote. Utter BS. It is very possible and very likely to add 5.5 inches of actual height. Adding huge amount of height is VERY normal for actors and has been the case/almost a tradition for male a-listers from the early ages of filmmaking. The clearest case being Kirk Douglas looking max 5'6" compaired to other people in reality. But he claimis 5'11" in his book. Search on Kirk Douglas and John Wayne in harms way look
At the picture with his obvious enourmes LIFTS . Then go back and Search on Kirk Douglas and stallone. Then tell me again what you just wrote! It is possible and very common for the Hollywood hero type to add several inches to their real height. Don't be ignorant! His lifts and attempts of looking that mark looks very similar to vin diesels and sylvester stallone those are the most extreme ones right now . Vin is practically falling over with the lifts. Do you research click on the add. Heck by a pair before your ignorant claim that is not possible. What you just wrote dear Lorne is the biggest joke ever.
Lorne you should be Banned for that BS you just wrote. you clearly know jack! About that pile you just wrote. Utter BS. It is very possible and very likely to add 5.5 inches of actual height.

Flat 5ft 10 imo, 5.5" Elevator Boots, while possible is a little exteme, in my opinion he consistently wears 3 to 4 inch of lifts. I'm basing that on his height versus paul walker, sometimes he looks a tad smaller, sometimes a tad taller. Then at other times without the boots quite a large bit shorter.
Vin is a victim of his broad physique, which is a fair bit larger than aberage 5ft 10 guys. He has the upper body width of a well built 6ft 2 guy, the boots bring him closer to this mark and support his image better however over the years Vin has definetly got more paranoid about his height as he gets called out on it due to his huge boots.
For the guys arguing about Vin weighing 220lbs at certain heights, it's easily doable at 5ft 10, just because he was ripped up it doesn't mean be HAS to be 5ft 11/6ft. He's probably more like 230/35lbs now anyway as he has a little more bodyfat than he used to. Weight can be deceiving, I'm 6ft and have a very broad frame, my friend of a similar height but not as broad weighs 12kg less, he doesn't understand how, and if people guess my weight they are always way under, my theory is bone mass accounting for alot of it, this could easily be the case with Vin too.

RisingForce how can anybody weigh in your statements when you say 5.5 lifts isnt possible when this site is covered with ads of 5.5 " boots. I strongly believe He wears boots with the maximum amount of lifts. I know the majority of people think the same. It is pretty obvious. He wears them with
Suits!
That 6'1" claim? The few of you keep holding on to- Haven't seen it anywhere. Evidence?

So Soupeman, you're suggesting Vin wears 5.5" elevators, which is in itself not remotely plausible, but also that he's 5'7.5"? You just said 5.5" from listed height, and Vin claims 6'1".
The man isn't under 5'11". Might not be over it either, but the under 5'10" stuff is ridiculous. He's a relatively tall guy who wears elevator boots to look like a legitimately big guy. He was regularly listed at 6'2" in the early 2000's, that just doesn't happen with guys under 5'10", much less around 5'8".

I think 5 ft. 11.5 is spot on for Vin Diesel. Under 6 feet barefoot, but a little over 5 ft. 11 when completely standing as upright and rigid as possible.
I would love to have Vin Diesel, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Justin Timberlake in an official "height-off" contest. All these guys have the same complex: fraction under 6 feet, with various claims of 6 ft. 1 or similar.
That 5 ft. 11.X mark is a dangerous psychological threshold. Lots of weird behavior and bizarre claims happen in that territory. It's the Bermuda Triangle of heights.

Vin is much closer to 5'10" then 6'0". He gets at least 2-2.5 inches from those massive boots he wears. If this listing was accurate Vin would be the close to the same height as Paul Walker. Vin looks about 2 inches shorter. There is a lot of evidence to back up the 5'10" claims.

Pro makers of shoes used by hollywood stars state that its easy to increase a mans height by 2 1/2 to 4 inches without looking silly,,vin looks the same as his wife {5-10"} in his nikes,see him in boots or dress shoes he becomes to stand higher next to her,dress and boots are the shoe makers dream to increase your height. Hes 5-10" flat. Huge complex on his height for sure.

Based on Vin Diesel's comparison with Paul Walker, he appears about 2 inches short. Paul walker has claimed 6'3" which is a ridiculous. He's convincingly shorter than the Rock. The Rock is most likely around 6'3". My guess is Paul Walker is probabally 6'1" at the most. 5'11" for Vin Diesel seems beleivable. But I wouldn't downgrade him to 5'10". Because of Vin Diesel's built, you would easily assume that he;s over 6 feet. 5'11" seems bang on. Nothing more, nothing less.

@ James Yep that photo really does sum it up, he looks like he is being tipped up and forwards. I am happy to volunteer to give him lessons in how to wear lifts and elevators without being detected. Above all it is the type of boot he wears and type of pants he wears with it - aargh. They just do not go. Lorne mentioned Brad Pitt and his Cubans and that is kinda the way for Diesel to go, really. He would actually suit the look. Even if he were NOT wearing lifts right now, it looks like he is in this clunky munsters.

I heard him in an radio interview saying the rock is huge and about 6 foot 5 and weighing 280lbs. He said he was 65lbs lighter. He looks big sometimes but surely not over 100kg. I think he said that so people believe his claims. 178cm and 90kg.

Yeah, 5'11.5" seems perfect, imo. Amazing that he was regularly listed at 6'2" early in his career. Seems like a pretty constant lift guy. Lifts are often overstated on this site(and for celebrities in general) but I think they apply in Vin's case. Though I seriously doubt his shoes give anywhere near 4 inches. Watch at about 3:55 Click Here With his Frankenstein boots, he ends up looking similar in height to 6'1.5" Jonathan Ross.

I remember you off the general page, 6ft 2 wearing lifts to 6ft 5! Crazy! Anyhow like you say, Vin makes it far too obvious, the picture I posted below shows how ridiculous he can look at times. I think he's just grown so paranoid about his height now that he can't stop wearing them, even though he would still look just as bad ass sticking to his natural height, which I believe to be 5ft 10. Hell he could scrape just a 1 inch lift into some decent footwear to look 6ft and that would be more normal.

My problem with Vin Diesel isn't that he's magically getting 5 inches from his boots. My problem is that 180cm Brad Pitt has no problem looking 182cm in his Cubans. Now the the Cubans give 1.3-1.4in, and BP has no problem looking close to 6ft. So if he wore the massive boots Diesel wears, with his impeccable posture, couldn't he pull off an easy 183-183.5? At his best, Diesel can look 184cm range. But 180cm BP pulls off an easy 182 with smaller footwear. So does it not stand to reason that they are similar height? And no way Pitts more than 5'11. If Pitt was the 182cm that Diesel somehow gets listed at, then he would look close to 6'1 in his cubans, which again are smaller than Diesels. Whether or not Diesel wears lifts I don't know; but I do know(from personal experience) a 1.8 inch boot will make you look a full inch taller. So no way he is as listed; at best he'd be a cm taller than Brad, so a good 181cm is the most I could ever give this guy, and I wouldn't be shocked if he was a weak 5'l1.

Anyway, that's a good picture, Vin surprisingly doesn't look that much taller than Tyrese even with his forced posture and big boots. Still can't see Vin below 5'11", and I'll stick with 5'11.5", but I can't say 5'11" flat would surprise me one bit. If Tyrese's 5'10.75" listed here is accurate then Vin doesn't look much over 6 ft even with those advantages.

btw Vin Diesel is the classic example of a type of guy who would be better (posture and general height) to actually wear a boot with a heel like a cowboy boot, and then add good lifts in them to get the max 3 inches he wants. His clunky chunky boots worn at all times, even with formal gear, tend to draw attention - he clearly feels the need to be big (it's part of his persona I guess) but if you go in for this level of 24/7 fakery (as I do!) then you have to spend a little time making sure it really is undetectable and doesn't draw too much comment. There's loads of boots and shoes he could wear and indeed have made.

@ Soupman and Lorne re the extra height you can get from Timberlands. I agree with Soupman that you can get a lot of extra height from Timberlands. I have mentioned here before that I am a 6'2" guy who likes to be much taller and I have found that by buying Timberlands a size larger than my feet and adding gel lifts I get some of my best heights. I could get even more than I do, and have indeed played around with different pairs/sizes to see what I could get if I ever wanted to be extreme, specially if I wore long trousers/jeans with them, but even with shorts I can get a non detectable good lift. Because they have a thick sole, as well, no-one ever suspects that you are wearing lifts. But yes you CAN get that type of height if you want with Timberlands.

He could be 5'10.5" with those monster boots probably 6'0"-6'0.5" and lifts then 6'1" range which is the max he can pull off. Paul Walker who is a legit 6'1" man is taller than him even in .6 converse.

Lorne i beg 2 disagree with that silly rubbish you just wrote. IT IS possible to to walk and even run a bit in those. you clearly know nothing about timbs. The kind of timbs vin wears gives exactly 4cm. And you CAN fit 9 cm lifts in them. The name of the boot is 6 inch because it keeps you dry 6 inches from the sole and up. You are waay off.

I'm sorry but when has this ever been normal? He gains atleast 3 inches in height if not 4. Anything under 2 inches he wouldn't have such an awkward stance/posture.

Faviox. The reason why is most Hollywood celebs boost their height. In vins case, its really really visible. You can get 11-13 cm in timberlands with lifts! So it IS in fact very possible and highly likely in vins case that he is under 178 cm (5'10") my guess is between 5'8"-5'9" in my eyes and the general opinion here in Denmark where they average height is much more than the States, vin diesel talked about being on the short side. 5'9" and under. Most guys who say vin diesel is 5'10" and up are either delusional or they forget the big boots with obvious grande lifts.. If he was 182cm with his
Footwear he would be around 195cm and that is the funniest thing ever!

And many people think Statham is 5'9 as listed, but many pictures proves that he is only 5'8, maybe even shorter. Some people think he is a flat 5'7, but I wouldn't go that far. Statham is around 5'7.75 - 5'8, and Vin doesn't look much taller.

I think Vin Diesel is 5'9.25 evening height. He can be 6'1 - 6'2 in his big elevator boots. I'm pretty sure he is shorter than 5'10 before bed. And many people also think Dwayne Johnson is 6'3 as listed, but many pictures proves that he is only around 6'1.25 - 6'1.75. I think he is 6'1.5.

@look closer. Thank you very much..Now i know YOU are the one trolling. You really have to step to your name and LOOK CLOSER. I said Yankee was LISTED 5'7" that useally means 2 inches shorter IRL and he sure looks shorter than the listed height ;-) Scroll down and LOOK again :-)
And yeah- we are actually a big portion of people who think he packs lifts inside his already gigantic boots -if you bother looking at the angle of his stance it's very clear
He ain't got the same clothes on that means he prob.
Got his bigger lifts on at the event, einstein ;-)
As for the yankee picture - the same applies for all your pictures.

And Vin has looked very close to Paul Walker's height (with special shoes of course). Look at these pictures from the Fast and Furious Premeire
Click Here
Click Here
And Vin isn't even wearing boots, but dress shoes that aren't actually too crazy. With a wedge in them, the most advantage he could get is 3 inches and that's pushing it.
Click Here
Click Here
If you don't believe me, check out Rob's articles on Elevator dress shoes. Many stores claim to give 5 inches, but in reality the most you get is a little more than a 3 inch height increase. Rob runs this site, so I trust his opinion.
Click Here
So let's do the math. Paul Walker is listed as 6'2" on this site, but I'll put him as 6'1" to be as fair as possible. His dress shoes would give about 1.2 inches, making him a bit over 6'2" in his shoes.
Click Here
Since they look close in height in these pics, Vin is 5'11 + 3 inch (max) shoes = 6'2". If we say Vin is 5'9 like you guys are saying, that means you're saying his dress shoes give almost a 5 inch boost! Do Vin's dress shoes look like they'd give a 5 inch boost?

The second picture you posted, Omar is clearly stood on higher ground than Ludacris, and I saw Vin's footwear at the Latin Billboard Awards on TV, there was no way they were just normal Nike Shox, he looked to be gaining a good 2 inches height, it was obvious with the way he was stood.
178 max.

Diesel is hard to tell.
I´ve seen him wearing suits and thick worker boots which he often wears and he looks stupid in them. He probably wears the thickest boots of all of the lift/elevator shoes wearers. Even Brad Pitt and Stallone do wear shoes with less lifts in it. So if Diesel is mostly known for 6ft and sometimes he looks like 6´1 then I go with 1.78-1.80m max.

If you study the height differential between Vin Diesel and Melanie Thierry (at 58:36 in the Babylon clip posted earlier in this thread) you can tell Vin really has at least 10 inches (a human head) on her. So even if Melanie Thierry is no more than 5 feet tall that would put Vin at an absolute minimum of 5'10 which I, considering this information and how tall he looks compared to other actors (footwear advantage included) believe he is.

I agree with you with melanie thierrys height she is really petit ..
And the height gap
But..The picture with her boyfriend is prob. With heels on and that means vin is actually shorter than the boyfriend.
I just dont see vin over 5'9" .
Vin and mark wahlberg in my eyes look almost the same height next 2 the rock johnson. And we all know that nobody has footwear, posture advantage over vin. Look up pictures with wahlberg and johnson and imagine that wahlberg had the boot/lift Help vin has. It is so obvious

I just dont see vin over 5'9" .
Vin and mark wahlberg in my eyes look almost the same height next 2 the rock johnson. And we all know that nobody has footwear, posture advantage over vin. Look up pictures with wahlberg and johnson and imagine that wahlberg had the boot/lift Help vin has. It is so obvious

If he were 5' 11.75" plus custom boots he'd be over 6' 2", he isnt, he's 5 feet 10.

Vin Diesel is only in the 6'2 range when He puts on his massive custom elevator boots that add 4.5 inches in height. barefoot he's around 5'10 flat just out of bed with out any hollywood magic.

Why would Vin Diesel Were his custom elevator boots in all his movies for the last 10 years if he wasn't hiding some thing. Think about it 10 years of nothing but combat boots.

I agree with ash the listed height is with boots, lifts, super posture and camera advantage he is basically the same height as ludacris barefoot.

A weak 5'11 is the highest I can go for this guy. 5'9 is ridiculous.
This guy wears 3+ inch monsters in photos, that's why under the right circumstances he can look close to 6'2.

Vin diesel is somewhere around the 5'11 mark, you can tell by looking at the body proportions, but i strongly believe that he wears anywhere from 3.5-4.5 inch lifts
which almost make him close to dwayne johnsons height

LiP, Vin looks closer to 5'11" there. I think he's around that height barefoot, 5'11"-5'11.5" or 180-181 cm, imo. Definitely not a 5'9"-5'10" guy.

I have a question for all movie Fans. Has Vin diesel ever worn a normal pair of shoes in movies besides his massive custom elevators. I can't think of any movie he has. He's about the same size as 49ers running back Frank Gore In real life. With out any movie magic.

Lol, he's back to 6' on the I M B D now. Ridiculous. Anyway I reckon 181-181.5 cm (5'11.25-11.5") for him.

Vin cannot be pushing almost 6ft. He's closer to 5'10, tho 5'9.5 is prob more accurate. No one who is a natural 6 footer has to go thru the trouble of wearing elevator shoes! They are not comfortable or stylish!

For god sake guys, he's a big guy(not in height) he's obviously going to lie about his height.. A lot of people do, im 6ft1 i sometimes say im 6ft2,, why? Because it sounds better. Id say vin was 5ft10 peak but after all that weight training id say he's probably 176cm. He wears huge boots which ive seen on 'elevator shoes' websites and the similar ones says adds 5-5.5 inches to height. So he definetley beats his 6ft1 claim with those monster boots, everyone knows he wears elevators because his legs are out of proportion, but me im a genuine 6ft1 guy (187cm) and i wouldnt say he's even a weak 6ft1 barefoot (185ishcm) he's one of those shortish/average guys who can look big due to his body structure. Claiming he's above 5ft10 is proposterous. Im not one of those guys who's going to make a bullcrap story claiming on how ive 'apparently' met vin diesel. But sometimes you can just tell. And im saying he's definitley not above 5'10.

there is no way he is even close to 6ft or 5'11 even.....he is 5'10 (178cm) tops probably even a hair under it..... his shoes are ridiculous.. the pic I posted and the pics below clearly show how massive his outside heel already is and how there is at least another inch hidden inside the shoe, I mean the guy can barely stand in these....the angle of his feet looks way off

In Fast Five, Vin Diesel's character Dominic Toretto was listed at 5'9" and 185 lbs, which seems a bit low (especially the weight). Paul Walker's character Brian O'Connor was listed at 6'2", 195 lbs and no way did he appear heavier in the movie than Diesel.
Tyrese's character was listed 6'1", 170 lbs and Gal Gadot's character 5'9", 127 lbs.

He's 5 feet 10. Those boots he wears are expensive custom made wedged up monsters. Standing next to Paul Walker in "normal" mall sold sneakers he'd be exposed for his height lies.

I honestly don't understand why Vin Diesel is still listed at around 6 ft on this site. I agree completely with Red183: He is more likely 5'10 or maybe a half an inch above that. That clip with The Rock and Diesel clearly shows that + other pictures and videos out there. And if you can become 2.5 inches taller in elevator shoes, then I'm absolutely sure that Diesel can become at least 3 inch taller with massive boots (which he wears sometimes). Even if Diesel only has moderate footwear advantage on occassions, he still tries to have a perfect posture which can make him look taller than he is.

Rob, the guy's height varies so much it's only fair to judge his height based on the lowest he looks, in the clip people have posted below with the rock he looks more 5ft 10. Also what are your views on the following video?

Hi Rob, you know a lot about elevator shoes and shoe lifts, i'm surprised you haven't realised Vin Diesel wears both, clearly evident in many of his photos. The general consensus on this page seems to be that you may have Vin's height listing a bit too high. Will you be changing it anytime soon?

@Rashid. 6 is pretty much as far as you can go without seriously injuring yourself! Im not sure what your question is really but il give it a stab. Men can wear inserts which will put maybe an extra inch in the back of a shoe and won't look too much out of the ordinary, when it comes to Vin's special footwear they are more similar to platforms being placed inside his huge boots to boost his whole foot 2-4 inches rather than just the heel which would be the case in the majority of womens heels.
Look at this video below about vin diesel's height and there is a part about his boots which demonstrate the sheer height advantage he can gain from them and the type of inserts available rather than a simple heel boost.

@joe joe Excellent pics, if I can draw your attention to the 3rd one, look at the outline of vins leg going into the shoe, follow it down and imagine where the foot would be, looking at 2 inch boots with 1 inch inserts atleast.

The listing of 5' 11.75 is laughable....he's never been over 5' 10" in his life. He has a huge height complex. He wears built up customs and is bold enough to put on boots at premieres. 2-3 inches shorter than the Rock is as sick as Bieber or Stallone height claims.
