I like it, because it’s not quite 6 foot. The governor just had to get that in there. The governor cheated me! I’m not quite 6 foot, and he let the world know it. I’m only 5’10” and a half.

Jesse Bongiovi listed 176cm in football is taller than his dad. Nowadays Jon is 173cm tops. I think he has stated shoes on height when saying 5ft10.5.

Was never a full 5ft 9 in my opinion. 5'8" 1/2 is his legit peak height.

He looked a tad shorter next to Michael Jackson, who is also another 5'9" as per your list, Rob. 5'8.5" then?

Closer to 5'8", especially now that he's almost 60 years old.

He was listed as 5ft 8in for many years and his legs do look quite short in relation to his body. I'm guessing 5ft 8.5in.

🎁🎂🎶🎈 Happy Birthday Jon! 🎈🎶🎂🎁
Hey, everyone! It's Jon Bon Jovi's 58th Birthday today! Let's wish him a lovely time!
I always adore the moment in the film 'Bean' when Jon's name is mentioned by Sandra Oh I think - as the unveiler of the priceless painting 'Whistler's Mother'. Anyone familiar with the film knows that they get Mr Bean instead! 😁
Jon Bon Jovi's Birthday guess is 5ft9 from moi!

Some people ridiculously claiming 5’5” for Bon, I’ld say it’s an honest claim but would go for 174.5 cm at 5’8.75”

He once said "5'9 if I'm lucky" with Charlie Rose. I'd say 174 is likely, which is why in boots and big hair, he can look in the 5'10ish range.

Stood right next to me in the audience last night performing. 5-8 in '18. Looks great even with the older hair color.

He's looked every bit of 5'9" often, but here in 1984, he really looks similar to 5'8" Dick Clark if you exclude Jon's 80s hair: Click Here I believe he had some pretty good heels on his boots as well.
But he's been consistent with the 5'9" claim and pretty modest. Check this out: Click Here
Charlie Rose asks: "You're what...five eleven?"
Jon replies: "Oh no. I'm five nine, if I'm lucky."
Typically looks it, sometimes taller, but could look under it at times early in his career such as on American Bandstand. It's possible he's a weak 5'9" as well based on his own statements, but seems honest. Now Tico Torres claiming 5'9" is hilarious. Maybe with 80s hair and heels!

Great guy than can look 5'11" back in the 89s due to cowboys and big hair.
He never pretended to cheat on anyone as Brad Pitt or Cruise.

"Editor Rob: I think there is probably more than we realise. Jovi typically could look about his claim."
You mean, Bon Jovi looks like 1.76 or 1.77m sometimes? But what is there, what we dont realise? You think, 5foot8.75, have problems with it and round up to 5foot10, TEN!! and guys like bon jovi, most 1.76m feels comfort and goes down to 1.75m?
Rob, you guys have this "foot-think", in germany we dont use it, as you know. But a question: Are you guys correct with this? I mean will the most people rather tell a "round" number? Like 5foot10 or 5foot11? Cause we, with cm and m, we are correct. We use 1.75, 176, and we dont round ab 2-3 cm like you guys would round up an complete inch.

Editor Rob I use both, and I think many people who visit the site - especially more than a few times - will get to know the metric equivalents (I'm speaking about Americans as they are the majority visitors to the site).
In an ideal world, using metric and only rounding a little means more accuracy than rounding up to a full inch.

I mean, look at him with Richie Sambora for example. Compare the late 1980s to say, 2012. Jon used to look almost 3 inches shorter than him. But now, he only looks 1 or 1.5 inches shorter at times...

Jon Bon Jovi can look anything from 5' 8" to 5' 11"! I think 5' 9" is accurate though, as he looks this when wearing normal shoes. But his height is all over the place, very hard to pin down! Is he a lift-wearer, Rob?

He's always looked around 5'8 to me. If he claims 5'9 himself he's probably a little bit shorter in real life. He does sometimes look surprisingly tall but then again wears lifts or boots and also tiptoes in pictures in order to look taller.

5' 9" looks accurate. He looks this next to Dave Grohl (6' 0"). He can look 5' 10" a lot but his boots and hair add height. Surprised he is honest. I'd expect him to claim about 5' 10", he could get away with it.

@Arch Stanton Thank you for response, the web say 5'6, 5'5 and a guy says that has met him in the 1978 and says that Tico was taller 5'7,maybe he wears cowboy's heels(2 inches more).However if he was 5'7 today might be 5'6 he is 61 years old,same thing if he was 5'6 today might be 5'5 and so on!
However doesn't matter how tall is he,he kick ass on the stage!!THE HITMAN!

@Magic I've been a few feet away from him standing after a concert and he's around 4 inches short than Jon although footwear might not be so good. I'd say he's somewhere in the 5 ft 5 range, definitely not over 5 ft 6 put it that way!

Not sure why everyone is still questioning his height - there was a document with his height posted on here. I have met Jon twice and am 5'6" and had on flat shoes first time and he was a lot taller than me. Second time I had on shoes that matched his and he was still a good 3" taller. I would put him between 5'9" and 5'10", certainly not shorter.

Reminds me of Michael Jackson (in height terms). Both have a wide height range. They looked level when they met in the 1980s - and looked 5' 9" when stood with 5' 11"-6' 0" Richie Sambora.

I'm having issues uploading pics at the moment. I've looked more into his height. He can look anything from 171 cm to 179 cm! His height is all over the place. I was sure he was 5' 9". Not saying he isn't, but I'm not quite as certain as I was.

On stage and in photos he pulls off near 5'10 at times, but it makes me wonder at times if he's wearing custom boots. Barefoot on a beach in some pics I've seen he does look noticeably shorter than he appears as a rocker. No way is he as low as 5 ft 5 or 5 ft 6. I mean Tico's that range and Jon's is definitely a lot taller, but I saw one photo of him in t shirt and shorts once and thought he looked 5'7"-5'8".

I've seen Jon in concert and in a bar. He was always wearing heeled boots. I would say he was closer 5'6 or 5'5. Maybe with heeled elevated boots he's 5'9. I used to have a job where I worked big private shows (sales events). I was shocked at how pretty much every celeb was short. Somebody told me that studios purposefully selected shorter people for film, something about how they lent some advantage to the camera. I realize that Jon (and the group Bon Jovi) rose to stardom on their own merits, but there's no doubt he's a celeb. And he is shorter than you would expect. He may look tall on the stage and on film, but both those mediums create an illusion of height. There's nothing wrong with being shorter than the average height. In fact, it probably helps a person "make it" in film, meaning it could very possibly increase one's chances.

Rob, do you have any idea why all the "he's tiny" claims surface? Do you think it's because fans expect him to be like at least 6' 1" and because Bon Jovi are such a big band?
He honestly looks like a 5' 9-10" guy to me.

Editor Rob big personality and voice and prescence, and then about 5ft 9 and not as tall or big, but more delicate? I can see why some would call him tiny.
Maybe sometimes tiny can be attributed to their physique?

Jon says he's 5'9" and as I said I have the photograph of him and me together and he is correct. He could be a little over 5'9", but NOT 5'10" and definitely NOT 5'8". Jon is known for his honesty and I know that this is his height - he has said so and I have the photo that for me as shown that this is correct.

I have just had my photo taken with Jon and I was aware of all the comments on this site so I took note. I am 5' 5 and half " and worn flat shoes and with his normal walk shoes I came up to his cheek bone - he was talker than I expected and had to be at a minimum 5'9" as stated if not slightly taller.

He's tiny. I met him in person and he was barely taller than I am (I'm 5'6.) I'd say he's 5'9, at the tallest. He's also very small-framed. He's thin, and even though he's muscular, he looks small. I don't know why some are so bothered by the idea of him being short. It's not like it affects his talent...

He often "looks" a minimum of 5' 10". But this is when he really goes for it with the lifts. If he wears Cruise type lifts, he would appear 1.5 inches taller than his barefoot height. That's without him even trying to look taller with immaculate posture, pavement advantage, camera angles, hair etc.
Barefoot: 174 cm (5' 8.5"). His 5' 9" claim is close enough - at least he'd reach that in the morning.

Most short guys exaggerate their height. I'm 6ft 2 and jon is 5ft 8 to 9 or 10 range. Wears boot hills to make him seem taller and the hair on top.

Bruce and Jon look about 2 inches taller than Steve Tyler in that picture which makes them about 6' with heels. Johns hair also fuller on top giving him a slighly taller appearance but i would say at least 5'10"

You never ever see one of them claim one of these celebs, especially the tall ones are actually taller than what Rob gives them on here, if heights are wrong on here by inches then it would be impossible to always be erring on the low side and just as many would have to be taller than what they are given on here.

That's not true at all!!!! I agree with you that there are a lot of vertically challenged trolls on here who downgrade everybody by ridiculous amounts to make themselves feel better, but some of us are actually legitimate and are interested in height and how people look. While I agree with most of Rob's listings I'm just as likely to say to Rob that I think he has them too low or that somebody can look taller than listed. And I'm happy to say a 6'4" listed guy on here is 6'4.5" or whatever despite them being taller than I am. So please don't paint every contributor here with the same brush. Jon Bon Jovi in all fairness looks 5'10 more than he looks 5'9" or shorter, but at times he can look shorter.

I know its difficult to tell on a beach but he really looks small and his legs look shorter than a typical 5'9" er. Does he wear big lifts to maintain his 5'9-5'10" look or something because he seems to have shrunk a good 3 inches here than normal..

I just met jon at an event. He tries to be tall by wearing "high heeled" dress shoes and puffing up his hair. Im almost 6'1" in dress shoes I had to have him by around a 1.5" range when we stood side by side. Took a note to his shoes, especially around the arches as the angle shot straight up. He's got a huge head and the hair adds to his head size. My guess? Anywhere from 5'8.5" to maybe 5'9". Good job Rob

Richie and Jon can look 6 ft 1 and 5'10 respectively a lot, and Tico 5 ft 6 ish. Reality probably is an inch shorter for all, the hair and cuban heels can make them seem taller.

Honestly he could get away with claiming about 5 ft 10, he's looked close to it next to people like Dermot o Leary and Graham Norton. But he seems to be pretty honest here which is surprising, you'd think he'd be the sort of guy who'd claim 6 ft and be the sort who would wear lifts in his boots. He looks taller than some other guys Rob has listed at 5 ft 9 on here, Justin Theroux for one.

@ Punkster and Musicman. It's so not true, its a myth that he's super short, much like Tom Cruise. I've seen them live front row. He has about 4 inches on Tico Torres and is actually nearer Richie and Dave Bryan's height range than Tico. Tico is 5'5"-5'6", probably 5'5.5". He was also taller than Dermot o Leary who is definitely not under 5'7".

I'm a former rock star that met Jon Bon Jovi for the first time on our tour with them backstage after a concert was over and he changed into sneakers after the show. I'm a drummer so I play in thin soled sneakers and was talking with him after the show and he's no where close to 5'9". I am 5' 10 and half and I was looking down at him by about 3 inches or more. You don't count the hair height people. I'd say he's struggling to hit 5'6 and a half maybe if that, so you people need to change this 5'9" BS, it's incorrect, facts are facts when you meet a person and go on tour with them. Musicians all look taller in boots up on stage with the big hair up front and you're looking up at them. Sambora was a little taller than me I'd say 6 feet 1 maybe but he had boots on. These comments you people leave on here people crack me up, the most accurate comment is from punkster69. The rest, please!

While I agree that height isn't always a huge determinant for chicks/success it definitely always helps. If he was 5'6" or below it would have been harder for him to have the same kind of success simply because unfair or not he would've had a harder time being taken seriously. 5'9" is average height, not tall but not particularly short either. The majority of women are under 5'9" and a small bump up from footwear puts you near 6'. When a man is talented, good-looking, confident and successful women are usually just looking to see that he's not TOO short in their mind and 5'9" clears that hurdle.

I'm 5ft8ish(172cm) and I've started wearing dress boots at work and while going out instead of wearing sneakers all the time. My gf asked me one day that have I grown? I think this is also the case with Bon Jovi. He doesn't wear outrageous Stallone boots so people don't pay that much attention to his shoes while estimating his height. He can pass for 5ft10 in boots, but I think his barefoot height can be anything from weak 5ft8 to strong 5ft9.

He's not as talented as Richie though who I think is actually wasted in Bon Jovi recording the generic songs the produce on each album which all sound similar in the same key! I guess they have to give the customers what they want but he's so much much more talented than that. I'd like to see him do some flamenco stuff and Spanish classical.

@shaun 6'4 is not average height, in fact the average height in most third world countries is around 5'5, and in first world countries is around 5'9.25 -5'11 (just a few european countries has 6'1 as their average height)

I am 5"5 and have met him a few times, he is quite a bit taller than I so I'd say that the estimation of 5"9 ish is likely correct. Oh, and yeah..he is a brilliant performer, songwriter, and singer...grossly underrated. Get past the face and get into his mind.

Jon passed me in the street in London outside the BBC in Nov. 2009 and I thought he looked short HOWEVER I got the chance to chat to Jon at an aftershow party in London on Saturday 25th June 2011. I am 5'8 and was wearing two and a half inch heels - I definitely was not looking down at him! (maybe I was just in a daze!)

Jon is a prime example of how height means nothing when it comes to chicks/success.. I'd bet average looking 6'4"guys would trade in their height for a face and success like him.

I have met Jon and the band and they were all sweet and friendly. They were happy to pose for photos and share a glass of wine. All the guys were genuinely interested in who we were as people and took the time to get to know us a little. My only regret is that it was such a short visit. Now my four year old daughter loves Bon Jovi as well.

I'm not going to mention which hospital or what the measurement was taken for. I had a chart with Jon Bon Jovi written on it, I was like no way, surely thought it was the Jon Bon Jovi. During most routine health checks we will always record a patients height and weight, on Aug 17th 2005 Jon Bon Jovi was 171.3 ounces and 5ft7 and 1/4 inches, taken barefoot. End of discussion.

No Jon Bon Jovi is not really nice to fans away from cameras - in Sydney he wouldn't sign and also did underground car parks - only a handful of fans at the hotel. He does know people do sell them on e-bay and is good at getting people thrown out of hotels.

I've met him at an event. He struck me as having the size and stature of a 10 year old boy. I'd put him at 5'7" or so.
Yeah cos every 10 year old kid is 5 ft 7... Average height for a 10 year old is 4 ft 7 NOT 5 ft 7. Get real.

Granted he comes across as very self-centred and egotistical in interviews but I would be too if I had his level of fame and regard amongst women. He does pull off looking a legit 5'10" actually at times in his usual clumpy shoes so 5'9" barefoot is reasonable. For those who think he is 5'7". You're really awful at judging height. Compare Jon to Tico Torres who is 5'5"-5'6" range and he looks easily 4 inches taller. As for him being 5'8", no chance.

Jon Bon Jovi says that he is 5 ft 9 in tall and also he is really taller than me because I'm so tiny like Lilo from Disney's Lilo & Stitch. Holy Bon Jovi! And also, he is the the coach of his Football Team. Boy, he was happy. And when I say something to him like: "I Love You Bon Jovi!" Then he'll say it back to me. "I Love You 2 Emmy." Man, I will hug him and he will hug me back and he'll kiss me. And I'll scream on the top of my lungs. OMBJ! Also, he knows my name and my address. OMBJ! And boy he's so nice, sweet, friendly, kind, polite, and talented :D

I was introduced to Jon Bon Jovi by the CEO of his Arena Football team at the second season home opener, on the field, after the game. He was wearing cowboy boots and was about 5-10. So real height is about 5-9. He was so nice, kind, polite. :D

I spent some time with john at a fundraiser. he is not "skinny" or "thin" as people keep saying. I think that's an illusion caused by his massive head. Seriously, his head has to weigh 2x as much as mine.
I am slightly over 6' shoeless, 32" waist, 40" jacket size. He was much more substantial than me.
There is absolutely no way he's under 5'9". I'd say he's close to 5'10", and easily 6' with boots, an enormous head, and puffy hair. 5'9.5" is probably accurate in socks and a shaved head.

Since when is being 2" taller than someone TOWERING over them...haha. It's amazing after being on here for long enough, you get to see the same kind of guy come on time and time again, who claims he stood RIGHT beside so and so star and TOWERED over them by 1"-2". This is usually done to make the user feel more imortant than the star. There is an interesting psychology for those who like to make others smaller, to make themselves feel larger. Never fails to amuse me.
-----------------------
So true! While it's interesting to debate the height of the stars, there is some people who come on here who take great pride in the fact that they are tall and some of these stars are shorter as though that means they're better than him, or that it should change the way we view the star's achievements. I know quite a few tall people who have achieved nothing, but like to think they are better and more important than others cos they are taller.They're probably threatened by people who have so much more to offer than themselves from a much smaller package.

I trust Glenn's judgement over a 21 year period of meeting him but I've never thought Bon Jovi was any bigger than 5'7"..must be his slight frame which gives the impression of looking smaller than he is.

Glenn, maybe you're shrinking?
And Derek, I mean, that he kept growing to 5'10 or 5'11 even after Dr. Pain new him in grade nine. Did Dr. Pain know him after grade nine? There are other grades past grade 9 you know.
Either way, he's not INCREDIBLY tall like Clint Eastwood and he's not short like Dustin Hoffman. He's kind of like Tom Cruise then. Somehow not so tall, but could be mistaken for taller.
Geez. If Jon Bon Jovi read this site, wouldn't he chuckle about the big deal we're making of it? Next time Glenn, ask him to check this out and leave a comment! Please?

Just shook hands with Jon, Dave Bryan and Hugh McDonald. Jon is not tall at all and I was surprised I would say he is around 5"6". Dave is close to 6' and Hugh is about 5'8. Jon Bon Jovi is not arrogant. When I approached him he seemed shy and when I said great show he quietly and politely said THank you. Sometimes quiet people appear arrogant. People have referred to Jon as the Quiet Spoken lead singer. He seems not to like alot of attention out of the spot light. Quite touching actually..While he ate dinner at the hotel--it was like he was in a fish bowl--I kinda felt sorry for him. All he wanted to do was to hang out with his friends after the show and eat and drink alittle. Although, this was after a SOLD out concert in Pittsburgh and looking around the arena--he made a out pretty darn well $$$$ I guess the fish bowl was a fair trade off. Jon's hair looks to be on the red side...I liked his hair color and length in the picture Glenn.

ive been meeting jon since 1985.and he always looked and claimed 5-10.i saw him in skippies look 5-10 in 2001.now i believe he is 5-9 though.if he is smaller, then he must have some sophisticated lifts in his boots and sneakers.which is possible.but unlikely.

John BonJovi is not 5'9". In the past, having worked with him and met him on various occasions...and the men and women from that area in which he live are of average height. He stands at 5'7"..possibly 5'8" no more. All the women that are around him are heights of 5'2 to 5'6" no taller, and yes, they love wearing very high heels.

There's a picture of Jon and his wife with their daughter at some sort of photo op and both women are wearing great looking but really high heels and they are still very short compared to Jon. The wife with heels reaches only up to Jon's eyeline but their daughter who's a teen is even shorter. If Jon is in the 5'7" range, are the women in his life really really tiny without heels?

5ft9in isn't short (i think)...its average...(for a US men). And Bon Jovi has a perfect body 'style' that makes him good-looking..(all the other things about one inc less or more is crap...)

Since when is being 2" taller than someone TOWERING over them...haha. It's amazing after being on here for long enough, you get to see the same kind of guy come on time and time again, who claims he stood RIGHT beside so and so star and TOWERED over them by 1"-2". This is usually done to make the user feel more imortant than the star. There is an interesting psychology for those who like to make others smaller, to make themselves feel larger. Never fails to amuse me.

Looked exactly 2.5 inches taller than Ellen DeGeneres, who claims 5'7.5", but he was wearing some questionable boots. Very strange, they were styled like regular dress shoes but the top looked bootlike, as if slanted upwards.
It's also documented that he claimed 5'8" in the past, so maybe he wears lifts?

I trust you glenn! You're lucky that you get to meet a lot of celebrities. My friend's band Beyond Tomorrow opened for Bon Jovi and I got to see some of their pictures with Bon Jovi and his band. I remember thinking how Bon Jovi was shorter than I thought he'd be. My friend in the band is about 5'11" and he had a couple inches on Bon Jovi, so this listing seems right.

He must be around 5'7 to 5'8 on what people say who meet him. I once saw him in concert in AZ in 1989. He looked about average height on stage. I remember another group "motley crue" putting on really tall heals during their shout of the devil days. I love to meet both bands.

glenn, he doesn't look that much taller than you in this photo. Do you really think he's a full inch taller? I feel like he's tilting his head upward to look taller, whereas your posture and stature is normal. I'd say 5'8.5"...but then again you've met him so you have a much better estimate.

I'm questionable on anything above 5'7". There's a picture of him at my job with my boss who is around 5'4.5"/5'5". And I remember when first seeing this I was surprised at how short he was. They both looked just about the same height side by side, Jon looking maybe 5'6" tops. However after seeing your pic Glenn, I don't know. Guess I'll have to take another look at the pic at work. Also for what it's worth, the photo was taken in the late 80's, which is apparent... Lots of hair.

Saw him interviewed on that post oscars show tonite on !E and he was barely taller than that hostess, Samantha Harris, who looks petite, maybe 5-4 plus heels. Most other males towered over her but he was just about an inch or so taller, I would wager on 5-7.5 or so with 5-8 an absolute max.

If U check out some old Bon Jovi pics U can see that the guys are usually standing in 2 groups 1) Jonny, Tico and Alec 2)Richie and David a good way to make the shorter guys appear taller especially Jonny...Sometimes Jonny appears kinda shortish, but I think 5'8.5''- 5'9'' is correct. Since Tico is 5'6'' and Alec 5'7'' and Jonny was always a couple inches taller than both of them...

Tico is surprisingly small. Richie is always tall in those snakeskin boots. Yeah, I notice how thin John is compared to his height. Sinatra was like that. Did the old bass player ever land a band? Did he have to cash in his publishing? I heard he was a real jerk and JB had enough.

With them it helps to be female dressed to leave little to the imagination. Anyway, Jon isn't short, but he is really thin.

I've met John a couple of times, he's no shorter than 5.8" that's for sure. I'm 6'0 tall and Richie and I are about the same height, I may have 1/2 an inch on Richie. Keep this in mind people, the angle of the camera and the way that the people are standing in the picture can very easily deceive your perception.
In the picture above with Glenn, John is not standing perfectly erect while Glenn is. John is leaning towards Glenn, keep that in mind. As a matter of fact, with the shoes he's wearing in that particular picture it looks like he could be 5'10.5" or more if he was standing perfectly straight.

I think John Bon Jovi may need to be re-listed. Look at him next to 6'5" Kerry Collins: with both of them standing up completly straight, I'd say Collins has a 10" edge.

Hey, I'll say it again. I am 100% sure his height is between 5-8.5 and 5-9.5. Heck I've stood next to him on two different days and had a pic taken with him. He wasn't wearing heels. If he had lifts they were tiny as he had sneakers one time and loafer-type shoes the other. There is no way AT ALL that he is 5-7 or shorter. And I'm not saying this because I like him -- I actually can't stand him. He is in love with himself. Richie and the other guys are far more friendly, and that is well-known in the music business. And yes, Tico is quite short, maybe 5-6. Richie is about 5-11 or 6ft tops.

Ok I stood beside Jon Bon Jovi in Nice Airport last week for ages. I am 5ft 6 - Jon Bon Jovi is no more than 5ft 7 - my wife is 5ft 9 and he was smaller than my wife.

I meant to phrase it - "When Tico Torres was asked his own height (not bon jovi's) he replied he was 5ft 9". You've seen how much shorter Tico is in the band, hence tico claiming he is 5ft 9 sounds ludicrous ;)

I'm not sure what it is about Bon Jovi but by looking at him, he gives off the illusion of someone who is much shorter than 5'9". I guess it's because proportionaltley speaking (if that's a word), he upper body doesn't match his leg heighth for someone that would be listed at 5'9". These gives me the impression that he's somewhere between 5'7" to 5'8". Just a hunch but I feel he wears lifts. (Don't worry Jon. I also wear lifts but I'm just not a celebrity so nobody cares.)

Tico Torres in Q Magazine, being asked his height: "Five feet nine. Why?". Now that IS rounding up several inches.

Jon's is TOTALLY weaing lifts in the photo that Jonny posted!!! Look at the odd way he is standing. It also hurts that he has a somewhat tall wife and I bet he wears his elevators when seen with her. A friend of mine met Jon a couple years back as Jon co-owns an arena football team on which my buddy helped out with. He has said that Jon is on the 5'8" range, maybe 5'9" on a good day. So I'll go with that. He defintely is no short, itty bitty thing but he is defintely not tall either.

wingnut, that is ridiculous. I've personally met him twice and I can tell you quite accurately that he is 5-9 or 5-9 1/2, which is my height. There is absolutely no way he is 5-6. Even if I am overestimating somehow he can in no way be shorter than 5-8 1/2.

JUSTMATT u got a point there of course Sly is always wearing ridiculous shoes, but Jon also favours shoes with a "bit" of heel...Maybe U should check out the pics were Jonny is standing next to Harvey Keitel who is wearing sandals http://editorial.gettyimages.com/source/search/details_pop.aspx?iid=802765&cdi=0
Remark: Jonny is really standing tall and Harvey is being relax. So maybe Jon is around 5-7 or 5-8

Maybe 5.7 is better because on www.gettyimages.com you can see that he's shorter than Sylvester Stallone!
