how do i remove the foot rest

While putting it together, you just omit the footrest. If you already put it together and actually want to remove it, you need to disengage the gas lift by hitting the parts apart with a rubber mallot. Seems harsh, but I did it...see my review.

I don't think this is possible since the chair is assembled stacking the pieces on top of each other and leaving a piece out will not work.

I'm pretty sure you can't remove the foot rest. If I remember correctly I called the company when I first got the chair and they said you can't. The foot rest is too high for me so I stopped using the chair.

On the right side of the chair, there is an indentation in the chair with a small handle which you pull up and back. this allows the foot rest to actually ppop up, if you do nit attempt to put your legs on the foot rest to allow it to bring it up gently. i found it extremely difficult to bring the foot rest back into the a"chair position" for the first week or so, but now it is doing just fine. i found no button or lever to cause the foot rest to go back to the original position; it must be pushed back until you hear a 'click'.

Put the little cut out part toward the back so your tailbone is over it. Takes the pressure off your tailbone. Hope this helps

The foot rest is wrapped with a thin cord around the arms of the table tray in front of you. Lower the tray, wrap each cord around each arm and then adjust the height you need with the beads attached to the cord. These beads easily slip into the base of the footrest. The installation is super easy. I travel all the time with this footrest and really love the comfort it provides. It's a must purchase!!!

Footrest both swing out to the sides for easy access, or simply lift up to remove. It helps to be able to remove the footrest when loading into a car. My mother is 94 and she prefers to sit in the wheelchair when out in her room than in a regular chair.

Frequently my Mom (who I bought this for) does not use the foot rests either - the one that I purchased does allow us to take the foot rests off entirely. Hope that helps!!

Yes, the foot rest could be removed if desired. It can't be adjusted at all.

Remove the inner soles so the heating elements can be placed "correctly" under the ball of the foot.

You can take the cold-shoe off with just a screw. I actually use mine without it, just grabbed some thick rubber washers from the hardware store and mount them to the top bar.

I bought these for my parents so I'm not able to check to be exactly sure but I believe you pull that black level on the side by the armrest to release the footrest and then push back. Then if I recall to release the footrest you pull the lever again and push down with your legs. Wasn't difficult at all. I hope that helps!

No there is no foot rest. For brief periods of time when I do push my son on it, he has placed his legs a bit up on top but I don't think this is viable for any extended period of time.

Yes, the footrests can be removed. They swing outward and actually, are much safer taken off to board the person, and then reattached.

The feet are plastic and appear to be removable. Even if they are not truly removable, I'm sure (from the looks of it), you could just break them off with a screwdriver or chisel and sand the remaining plastic away since you won't be using that side anyway (it is not as smooth as the other side).

Yes. The entire footrest can be easily removed. In fact, I can do it myself from my chair if necessary

Yes, you just need to take off the removable leg rests which very easily remove by swinging them to the side after you release them with the hinged latch at the top, inside connection of the leg rests. Very easy, I highly recommend. You can also pop off the armrests which make it lighter, but you don't have to.

The iron rest is welded onto the board. You can remove it at your peril,I guess.

If the foot rest is set properly it rights back up by simply moving your arms back to in front of you. Very easy once it is set.
