Are there any tall people who use this Supreme Glider and are happy? I'm 6'-4" and am concerned as to whether it has a sufficiently large "stride".

I am average height and will never reach the full length of the stride unless I practically do the splits.

I am 5'9 but with very long legs and if I do large stride like cross-country skiing, I hit the horizontal bar with the front of my thigh.

I'm 6 foot and on wide strides I hit the middle bar so I would be worried. You can still do a lot on it though without going for the biggest stride. When using the power pistons you rarely do a full stride.

my dad is a 6 footer... yeah he has been using it with good feedback.. i dont know your case as a 6-4 if that is big difference

Please? Anybody? If anyone is 5 feet tall or around there and has used this machine or others (418, 431, 438) in this line, please drop a line here and tell me what you think of it? I am particularly interested in what kind of reach it takes to grip the handlebars while striding. Does it bend you forward to reach them or can you do so in relative comfort without straining your back? ANY input is greatly appreciated!!

No. I'm 6'3" and I deal with it. It's not bad. This is the best stroller for a serious runner.

I bought this for my 13 year old grandson. He is only 5'4". I saw him ride it yesterday and I would "guess" that your to tall! However, he told me it rides real smooth and it is easy to handle!!

I am about 5ft 4in and it is a comfortable ride for me though it is on the larger size. It might be okay as long as you feel comfortable not being able to easily put your feet on the ground!

We have a tall 6 yr old 124cm tall. 65 lbs. He still enjoys his glider everyday!!

I'm 5'9'' and I found it kind of perfect, to be honest. What's great is, even when it's heavy, you don't feel like your dragging something behind you. Something in the way it's designed, I don't know, it almost feels like its pushing itself. I love it, seriously.

The max stride is only about 26" or so. I really like this little machine, but I would not recommend it if you want to be able to make a long stride. It gives a good workout, seeing YOU do all of the work, no motor. I am 5'2 3/4" tall, the stride or stretch is not really there. Hope this helps!

Im not sure how tall it is but its normal for a back of a glider i thought. No complaints on that here. Maybe that person is tall? I am 5ft 2inch. Hope that helps

My husband is 6' 1 and 190 lbs and I am 5' 2 and 135 lbs and the stride length is fine. The foot bed looks a little narrower than commercial treadmills, but it is fine for both of us. We use it at a maximum of 4 mph.

Although I am much shorter, my husband is 5'9" and has no problems with the stride- that is, when I can get him to use the thing. My D-I-L is about your height and leg length and uses it without complaint.

The height of the handle is actually an issue for shorter people. I'm 5'1" and the height of the handle is very ackward for me. Guess there isn't a stroller out there that can be everything to everyone : (

I think so, I'm 6'0" and don't have any problems with it. Love it actually, just make sure you weigh it down because it slides a lot if you don't.

Nikki, I am 5'9 long legs and I returned the board as I thought the board was NOT long enough for me. My stride/glide was not long enough for the endurance I was looking for. For me...I need 7 or 8 ft board. I hope this helps.

Thank you so much for your response!! I ended up purchasing a Sole E35 last week based on warranty and several reviews regarding long term maintenance, but I'm not sure the stride (21") will be the most comfortable. I did try out a Spirit a year or so ago, and at the time their machines were identical to Sole's; the stride on that one was ok, but I'll have to see. I really appreciate that you took the time to reply and I am so glad your machine works well for you! If the one I bought doesn't turn out I will know just what to replace it with. Your post was so helpful! Thanks again!!

It's great. I'm 5'8" and my husband is 5'11". We both think it's comfortable and you can adjust the handle so that it goes higher. Not sure how it would be for a 6'2" person but it would have to be better than most other strollers out there. I have no problems pushing it in 2-3 inch heels as well.

I'm 5'3" and it's only just comfortable. I have another much more expensive walker and it's no different! Still have to bend forward a bit. Don't know what to tell you....sorry I can not be more helpful
