Well, in HoME 19 you can find out about stumpy, the elf whose legs ended getting removed from the knee's down.
But serriously though, I believe most elves were six feet or taller with most men being six feet and shorter (with the exception of the Edain).
To my mind the Noldor and Vanyar were the tallest of elves reaching a height around seven feet, with the Sindar being a few inches shorter and sylvan elves being shorter yet. Where the height of an elf is somewhat reflective of exposure to the light of Aman or amount of contact with those having had exposure to the light of Aman.
