does this machine has the right stride for a women 5'' high, 110lb weight?

Yes, I believe so. I'm 5'8 and the stride works for me. I'd prefer the stride a little longer but it should be okay for you.

Hello. I'm also 5 feet tall and wondering if anyone ever answered your question. I want to buy an elliptical and they all seem to cater to tall people! I had to have the pedals of last one I owned removed and moved forward, putting wood blocks underneath to also raise me up. Otherwise I the only way I could reach the handles was to walk in a leaning forward position. ANYONE out there with advice for us shrimps?

I purchased one several years back and loved it. I am 5'8" about 175. You can use this to get cardio - I have done it easily. You can really push your workout and get cardio within 20 or so minutes or less. You can lean forward or back to increase the tension (your weight is the tension). You can push the handles faster, you can generate the widest range of motion - good for your joints. I recently have used rowers because they work in my space better, but I LOVE the Gazelle - great for the money. Good luck!

I am 5'2 and it's very comfortable for me. It feels so light weight (and easy) when pushing it that I would think it would work for you, too!

I'm 160 and 5"7. I don't have any problems with the machine shaking or wobbling. I am pleased with it.

yes absolutely. You will find this machine in a lot physical therapy places. My mom uses it in her living room and she has carpet. The machine doesn't skid because it has rubber pieces on it.

I am 5'4" and I am using this machine to work my shoulders, core and lower back. I find that by adjusting my legs i.e. push with legs and knees (shoulders, back), straight legged (core, shoulders, back), and alternate weight on each leg (core, back) that I am getting the desired results I wanted. By focusing on which muscles I want to work on, I find my body works on them accordingly. Hope this helps you. I really love this machine. I crave my sessions on it as opposed to dreading that 'work-out'. Very relaxing and you can work as hard or soft as you like.

Yes, I think it would work fine either way. It doesn't seem to take very much movement to register strides. I can't say for sure, but in my opinion after using mine, I think it'll work just fine.

I am 6' 3" and 200# I run pretty fast on it (as much as 8.5mph depending on the workout). I have now cracked the deck twice. I am upsizing to a higher rated treadmill. I think it would be fine for walking or slower running as it worked great for me before when I was much heavier and slower.

I'm 4' 11" and I use this machine. I just have to modify my position to do the different work outs but I am able to do all the things this machine is used for.

Yes. I have used this on my daughter who is 5'2" and 110lbs. Works very well.

My wife is the main user of this machine, and only weighs 110. I've had to set it up for her for some of the exercises, and used it occasionally myself, and I weigh 295. There hasn't been a problem, but I don't use it regularly.

Absolutely! Great for my Mother (89 yr old), 5' max, 120lbs. Works beautifully.

No idea. My wife is 5'10 and 5'11. Neither of US has had a problem with the stride. It is not adjustable or anything, but I have never felt the strike was unduly short for me (I had been concerned about it when I read the reviews). The shoe size isn't going to be a problem, I can say that much.

I cant tell if you're trying to be funny or not. Most ellipticals, treadmills and stationary bikes tend to market to women. My husband has used it. He's approximately 190/200 lbs. It shakes under him, and it's not very sturdy. I wouldn't recommend it in general, as I have the same issue at around 150lbs.

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!!
