Yes. My dc is 5'10 and wears 30, sometimes 32" inseams. The fit, style and cut of the pants affects wear they hit in length.
Consider:
Michael Phelps. Height. 6' 4" or 193cm
Haile Gebrselassie 5' 5" or 164cm
Now consider that Gebrselassie has a longer leg measurement than Phelps. Gebrselassie has the leg length of the mean of a 180cm tall person, while Phelps has the leg length of a 176cm tall person.
Don't feel sorry for Michael as he has size 14 (Europe 48 - 50) feet, and his ankle has 15% more flexibility than other elite swimmers - but a whopping 30% more flexibility than the normal population. So with his super short legs, super long feet, plus Dolphin tail flexibility, this gives him great power in his legs.
While Gebrselassie's ultra long legs helps him have an amazing stride length without effort. Add to this his tiny 54kg or 119lb body weight. To put that weight into perspective, Nicola Spirig is not big for a world class ITU female athlete, however on race day she is the exact same weight as Gebrselassie.

Short?? No man in my family is over 5' 6".
Are you OP? Your comment is as silly as hers. The height of your particular family is irrelevant to the population average.

Are you really this shallow? I am going to hope this was a silly moment of yours. For my own sake.
