I'm actually 173cm. A bit of a shorty. My partner though is about 169cm so she is the shorty of the family. Not including the kids though that even on two paws only reach my stomach.
What that is in feet & inches I'm a bit too crook to get my brain into gear for that one.
I'm used to metric system as well. Here is the conversion:

173 cm = 67.5 inches = 5' 7.5"
169 cm = 65.9 inches = 5' 5.6" or 5' 6" if you like
