I'm 5'9" 210 and they fit great in the riding position as well as walking around, no dragging. I don't wear riding boots more like work boots. No height adjustment but the waist band straps are great. I can ware shorts with no liner in or I can where a base layer, and jeans with the liner in.

They are 12.5 inches from the ground at the knee point and 8.5 inches from the ground at the foot point and they are quite comfortable.....as to the weight question, they easily hold me and I am 198#

I'm 5'8" and think you could definitely make these work for someone a foot shorter. There's a lot of spots to shrink the shoulder-hand space as well as the overall height. The surgeon might have a pair you could at least look at, even if you want to buy them on Amazon.

The lowest seat adjustment might be OK. I'm 5'2" and had to raise it two notches.

They are adjustable by several inches. I'm 5'2" and adjusted the handles to suit me.

I weigh around 200 lbs and they seem to handle that fine.I would highly recommend them.

I am 6'3" 220lbs and my son is 6'4" 230 lbs and we use them without a problem. The shoulder strapes cinch up, there is a chest strap and the waist cinches up. Make sure u have it on your back right. Heavy loads sometimes require a person to help get it on. they are designed to do what they are designed to do and do it well!!!!!

They do go up in down. Make sure that you have an Invacare wheel, if not they will not fix. I found that I needed to remove the foot pedal because my legs were longer. Good luck.

I had a friend who was with me that was about 6'2" and was able to extend them and used them just as well as i did. So they do adjust to your hight, So i don't know if 3 more inches would make a difference, but they worked well for him. Hope this helps.

This will be perfect for your height. My husband is 6'1, 200lbs and has no trouble. At first we had work with the adjustments but no it's perfect for his body.

One of the reviews suggested that the footrest rungs were too low, and being that I'm only 5.2, I was concerned as well. I was happy to discover that the higher rungs worK just fine for a shortie like me ;). I'm not home right now so I can't measure, but they're probably 7-8 inches from the floor. They are comfortable stools, no problem at all. Good luck!

I'm 5'6". And it works well for me. The top part you can't adjust. The bottom part you can adjust for the length of your legs. However, that may make the top half heavier then the bottom (the balancing problem). If this is what is happening, and you are falling backwards, it is good, because that is where you will end up and want to. It is bad because it is hard to come back to upright when you are done. You may need to attach some weight to the place you stick your feet in. Maybe use leg weights (the ones with the Velcro straps). This should help. Please let me know if this works. Oh.. and make sure you try this with someone there to help! Good luck Darlene. Martin

I'm 6'4". 250. They seemed to lower it a bit, but I have not bottomed out yet with them on.

Absolutely! Fully extended they could would for me and I am 5'8", yet they work for my 4'2" daughter. Very pleased with my purchase.

You would have to choke up on it. We bought for my husband who is 5'10". However, I can use them, too, and I'm only 5'6". I think you would be ok with these.

I weigh 200 lbs and they do ok for me but I don't think they could handle very much more than that.hope this helps
