Customers say
Customers find the wheelchair foot rest to be of superb quality, comfortable, and effective at keeping feet off the ground, with one customer noting it’s particularly helpful for those with Parkinson’s. The product receives positive feedback for its functionality, with one customer describing it as a lifesaver. However, durability and foot safety receive mixed reviews – while some find it sturdy, others report it breaking within two weeks, and while some say their feet don’t fall off, others mention they slide off. The ease of use is also mixed, with some finding it easy to use while others find it difficult to put on and take off.

Fantastic quality construction
Fantastic product. My best friend became a complete paraplegic in January. He constantly has almost epileptic type seizures of his legs. This causes his legs to leap off the wheelchair foot rests. Once purchasing your amazing foot rest. His legs no longer jump out of the chair. Thus eliminating the injury to his legs from the spasms. We are both very grateful for the quality construction and manufacturing. Also the care and value of your products. 5 stars across the board. Thanks so very much

Works great
This product works great, really helps my mother to be more comfortable in her wheelchair.She had trouble with her legs slipping off the pads and her feet staying on the footrests.This allows her to place her feet in different positions and there is no way her feet can slide off.The padding that contacts her legs is very soft and comfortable and the footrest portion is sturdy.Overall a very well designed excellent product that is easy to install and works very well.

Comfortable but a huge hassle
Pros- comfortable- durable- easy to cleanCons- bulky- very difficult to set up- not portable- not super compatible with all wheelchairsI bought this for my new portable wheelchair because the footrests on that chair were not adjustable. Though this extender was comfortable, it was so bulky it was really difficult to set up on my small wheelchair. Since I was planning on traveling in my portable chair, we have needed to set up and breakdown the extenders every time I needed to remove the footrest (ex: using the bathroom, going in the car etc). And because they’re so bulky and my chair was relatively small, it was a pain to do that every time that I just went without the extenders. The extenders also stuck out of the footrest about an extra 2 in which made it awkward to maneuver my chair.Overall, they feel nice and durable but unless you rarely/never plan on lifting up or removing your footrest, it doesn’t really make sense to use these extenders. Setting them up every time is just too much of a hassle.

Very sturdy and keep your feet off the ground for safety purposes. Easy to clean.
This is the second support I purchased for my mom’s wheelchair. The first one was cheap foam that wouldn’t support her feet if she crossed her legs. This one is sturdy and washable. The only downfall to this is that it isn’t super easy to put on with the fasteners and I have to kneel on the ground each time I have to put it on. My mom cannot stand, so each time the nursing home has to toilet her, they have to remove the feet pegs for the lifting machine. They don’t put it back on and I don’t blame them, but each night we put it back on to take her out for her walks. I guess I wish there was more of a thick velcro to wrap around each leg peg instead of having to wrap it around to the back and snap it on. It’s not the easiest task if you need to do it each day, but it works well and is washable when it gets dirty.

Fantastic help for use with a wheelchair
My husband had trouble keeping his feet on the foot pedals on his wheelchair. This product was a tremendous help for him. He was all smiles when we put it in place. He was much more comfortable, and was able to keep his feet in place.

Doesn’t last long
After only a few months, the straps that keep it in place have completely ripped off. I bought this for my grandmother who is barely 100 pounds and it doesn’t hold up at all. The concept is great but once the straps come off, the whole thing just slides to the floor.

Excellent Product
I am very pleased with this foot rest. It fits perfectly on the wheelchair foot rests. It adds a lot of comfort and provides security for the feet so they do not drop off the foot rests and allows move freedom to move the feet around a bit. It attaches securely to the foot rests and is easy and quick to attach or remove as needed.

Fits but Not Durable
The wheelchair footrest was purchased for my Father, who is in a wheelchair. His foot was constantly falling off the footrest of the wheelchair. His Physical Therapist recommended this footrest cushion on Amazon, so I purchased one. Product was easy to install and due to the added height (1″), an adjustment of the wheelchair’s footrest had to be made. Otherwise, the cushion fit as described. The cushion is held to the wheelchair by two adjustable straps.Unfortunately, after use of a week, the caretakers of my Father said one of the straps broke (separated from cushion). So now, only one strap is supporting the cushion. Disappointed product didn’t have good durability, as the stitching broke loose from the cushion. Rated 2-stars
