Miles to Feet
A mile is 1,609.344 meters, the statute mile used on US and UK road signs and speed limits. A foot is 0.3048 meters, historically based on the length of a human foot and still used for height and altitude in the US. 1 mi equals 5,280 ft, so converting between them is a matter of multiplying by that fixed factor — type any value into the converter below and both sides update instantly as you type.
Both units belong to length, measured here against length's base unit (m) — every other length unit on this site converts through that same reference point, which is why the table below can also be read as a quick cross-check against nearby values.
Formula
ft = mi × 5,280
mi = ft × ≈0.000189394
Worked example: 5 mi × 5,280 = 26,400 ft.
