There is a minimum height requirement which is not specified in dimensions but: "FA applicants must be able to open and close bins unassisted".
I know this is tha case at a few airlines as I made recommendations of an FA career to candidates with soft skills and interest who will make great FAs but they could not close the bins by themselves even with the boarding/deplaning heels on.
