can you glide while the foot rest is extended?

No, the chair doesn't glide when the foot rest is extended. I didn't know the answer to that, had to go try it out. I love the chair otherwise. Perfect for a napping 10 month old.

Unfortunately, no. But we have a small footstool we place in front of the chair when my dad wants to stretch out. Aslide-out footrest would be a welcome addition.

No. It cannot be used without the footrest. If this is important an feature you could instead buy the Roma chair, which has 4 reclining positions and also purchase the Roma Ottoman for resting your feet.

Yes It comes with foot rest. The foot pad moves up. It does not swing out of the way.

Yes. You will sit slightly higher than average, but it does not affect motion.

No the foot rest is not adjustable. This is a great light weight wheel chair. If you purchase, you may want to consider a foam pad to sit on.

Yes. When my recovery got to the point where sliding with rear glides was slowing me down, I put these on the rear. Keep in mind that you have to be careful on slopes since there are no glides to slow the walker. I had a set for outside on streets and sidewalks and an inside set for hardwood floors.

Yes, you can go back far enough so your feet are higher than your heart. Notice the stops on the legs. That prevents you from falling completely backwards. This is the most relaxing chair we've ever owned. You will not be disappointed.

If the questioner means, "Can the foo† rest be adjusted to accommodate a larger or smaller foot?", the answer is, "No." However, if the question is, "Will the foot rest adjust to a taller or shorter person, the answer is, "Yes."

No it doesn't glide in the reclining position but it still swivels. If it's reclined there isn't really a need to glide since you're feet aren't on the ground to help move it.

No, in fact the footrest is level with the front edge of the seat cushion. I have the same problem so what I did was mount the footrest upside down, it was too close to the seat cushion for long legged people, then cut a piece of plywood to fit the shape of the footrest and mounted it with screws to extend the footrest outward.

Dear Patricia,Our legs do have a plastic glide. If it is not needed, they can easily be removed. Hope this helps. We wish you all the best on your project.Regards,Michele

Hi Jim, Your feet are elevated at the same time you lean back it is a smooth action. Also it is very easy to put the feet down just push down on the foot and lean forward. I love my 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'.

There is a slight recline of the top of the back rest but it is not adjustable. It is a fixed angle. At 6' tall and with the need to keep your legs extended and not bent, it is recommended to buy the foot rest.

Yes, there is a screw on the bottom of the foot rest that when loosed allows you to adjust the length. You have to turn the chair upside down to see this, or make an adjustment.
