KensingtonSoleMate Adjustable Footrest (K56146USF),Gray

All in all this footrest is pretty good once it is setup right and not bad for the price...it does what it's supposed to do. My problem is I was sent a used footrest when I paid for a new one...It had visible dirt from someone's shoes on it and the rubber feet on the bottom had been on a floor. Not sure if this was Amazon or the seller. Also there were no setup instructions or booklet in the box, just the card that you put your hand on that is supposed to tell you what color to set this thing at. Setup wasn't hard to figure out with a little investigation into how it works and instruction would have only knocked off a minute or less, but another reason for the 3 stars is that it is not very easy to adjust for height because it is not spring loaded on the height adjustment and you have to push the mechanism up with your thumbs from the bottom to get it to move up. Again not hard to figure out but at this price point a couple of cheap springs would have been nice to assist with the function and make things easier. Maybe along with a used unit I also got a defective one I'm not sure, So anyone reading this if yours works better please reply and let me know. Other than those few things I'm pretty happy with the footrest and I do sit with better posture taking stress off of my legs and back.

I sit at my computer 6-12 hours a day. As a woman only slightly over 5' tall, every chair in the world is too high for me. My feet rarely touch the floor. Any doctor or chiropractor will tell you; when your feet can't comfortably reach the floor with your thighs parallel to the floor, your back will take the strain of trying to compensate. I bought a portable footrest for when I'm out of the house, but needed something larger and more comfortable for the hours I sit at my desk. This is it! The foot pad is large enough that my feet still rest on it even if I change positions. It is adjustable in height (up/down) and rotates at an angle (slant) so I can get it just right. The only negative is the written directions that come with it. They are not very clear, nor complete about how to adjust it. I figured out the slant, but couldn't find the height adjustment, even though the instructions said it was adjustable. I finally turned it over and inspected it very carefully to find the adjustment area. I then had to re-read the directions and experiment to figure out how to use it. (And I am fairly mechanical minded! I know many people who would not have been able to figure it out at all.) I gave it 5 stars, because the product itself is great. But I would encourage the manufacturer to re-write the instruction page. It is well worth the price; it costs less than the cost of a trip to the chiropractor!

The footrest did come with a strong rubber (tire like) smell but it did go away after a day or two. As others said NO WORD directions .......just pictures. I almost returned the item because my husband couldn't find the color codes or figure out where the color codes were. I thought I had the wrong model and that it didn't adjust. Finally I figured it out. You need to loosen the screws and then pull up the top part and the color codes are on the side. The footrest has made a big difference on my knees. I did find myself occasionally accidentally hitting the adjustable foot pedal in front but you can easily lock it back with your foot. To eliminate having to do this I just turned the footrest around so the foot pedal is in back. Since I have no need to adjust the height or tilt the footrest, this works for me.This foot rest has served my purpose. I am only 5' 1" so my desk did not line up properly for me to be comfortable in front of the computer. I am pleased with my purchase.

We have tried several brands and styles of footrests. Anyone who sits for any length of time knows how important they can be, but getting the wrong one can do more harm than good. I have been using this model for 3 years now.What's important:- Non-slip base and top so your feet or shoes don't slip off- Wide - Staff come in all sizes and anyone trying to fit on a too-narrow footrest or using one foot at a time will tell you that it is a good way to injure your hips!- Easy adjustment with your feet - no need to crawl under your desk to adjust!- All smooth edges - nothing sharp to poke you when you are not looking, or cut a cable in you accidentally set it on one.- Durable - rubber mat does not lift even after lots of use.- Price is right! Compare with other and you are right in the middle. Buy on Amazon and it's less than the office supply stores!Make your employees SAFE and happy for $30. A deal!This model also comes with a gel top which is great, but this one gives plenty of cushion for most.

I bought one for work and really liked it. No smell as others had. Since it's on carpet, it doesn't move. The adjusting pedal locks decently so I didn't have a problem with it adjusting itself. I adjusted it to a comfortable angle and it really takes pressure off my feet (I have a nerve issue).So I bought one for home. That one had an odor issue (either the glue or the material puts off a chemical smell). It's mostly (but not completely) dissipated - it seems to be the luck of the draw whether yours smells. The one here is on a plastic chair mat and moves a little across the floor if you put forward pressure on it. I found a good spot on the mat and it doesn't move anymore. The second one's pedal also locks well and the rest itself doesn't self adjust while my feet are on it.Overall, good foot rest, it does its job. 4.5 stars.

This thing is enormous giving your feet plenty of space to move around. Solid construction.Height is highly adjustable by unscrewing the knobs on the sides. There are colour coded guides to help you match the height levels on both sides without any guesswork. The locking lever at the front lets you either lock the preferred angle in place or rock the footrest back and forth.Black rubber sheet on top is removable allowing you to rinse it when needed. The raised bumps on the sheet don't seem to bother me even when I rest bare feet or with socks on them.The downside for me is the plasticky 'new car' smell from the rubber sheet which I hope will be gone soon.

The item arrived well within the specified time, extremely well packaged and by courier service. The footrest itself is nicely designed with varying adjustments and both looks and feels as if great care has gone into manufacturing a strong piece of office equipment which if looked after should last for many years to come. Although, as with anything only time will tell.Returning to the adjustments: The footrest comes with a hand graph showing four colours, the same corresponding colours are shown on both sides of the footrest, you have to place your hand on the graph and depending which colour your finger tips reach this is the colour you lock the height to. The footplate also has an additional adjustment, it can be left in the rocking position or locked in a position most comfortable for the user. The two side wing-nuts are for locking the height adjustment and the front foot operated pedal is for locking the footplate position.If you are looking for a wide sturdy footrest with removable rubber face for cleaning, I will thoroughly recommend this product made by Acco UK Ltd.

The height and position does not actually lock.... Putting any pressure on the foot stand will make it move so not really adjustable. Therefore not really ergonomic and not relieving back strain. Clunky to move back into position every day after cleaner moves it after work. Would not recommend.

I've been using this for a while, and it definitely helps with posture by allowing me to keep my knees level with the seat of the chair which is recommended.I have noticed that it reduced pain in my lower back and overall makes it more comfortable sitting down, which used to get quite painful.You can adjust it into different angles to suit your needs, but this mechanism can easily become unlocked and shift it about. It's not a huge issue, and it happens by knocked the middle part so can be avoided once known, it is just a little annoying.I started using this as well as the  The Original McKenzie Lumbar Roll - D-Shaped (Packaging Varies)  and find that my back pain has gone when sitting down!Delighted with that because of these two products. The Original McKenzie Lumbar Roll - D-Shaped (Packaging Varies)

My colleague at work had been complaiing of a sore back - we wondered if it might be that her legs were not in the correct position, like me she is small and so, like me, tends to sit with them resting on the legs of the swivel computer chair. So, I purchased this for her, it came the next day which surprised me and as she wasn't in that day I tried it myself, I must admit it did make a difference and I was reluctant to let her have the thing when she got back to work. She loves it and it has made a difference to the way she sits and she does not complain about her back anymore. It could be a placebo effect - I don't know - but its kept her in work and fit and healthy and that was my main concern, so well worth the money.
