I am less than 5 ft tall, and the socks are too long. Can they be safely folded down? How can I handle this problem?

My doctor said do not fold them down. I am also 5 ft. I just pull them up almost to my knees.

I just tried this so I can answer your question, and I was able to do so, but the folded side will not lay as flat, of course....but it can be done. I love these pads and they wash and dry great...warm water and low heat to dry.

Yes, you can fold them down when not in use. Loosen the clamps, swing them down, retighten.

No way, not unless you are 6'5" and can reach the ground. Its awkward to sit with your feet on the bottom rung for a long time. It's not natural like having them out in front of you planted firmly on the ground.

Yes, but you will have to fold them a bit so they don't drag on the ground.

They fold down to a very compact size. I think they would fit without any difficulty.

Nothing really, except alignment socks will "crush" after a while and loose their effectiveness. But they may be a little more comfortable due to the coziness factor if you like socks on your feet. Separaters will retain their form.

yes. keep them bare on the bottom for best results. drape a small blanket or towel loosely over the top part of your feet. It's ok to wiggle your toes - ha!

They're wide and long, but they fold up pretty small. You get used to it. If you were to cut one, it would probably unravel so I wouldn't suggest it.

I'm a plus size girl and wear a size 10 shoe and I'm 5'9" tall -- that said the Sockwell's always seem to feel like they're too small and waaaaaay to stretched out. If you aren't plus size, it make work though.

I tried wearing mine under my dress socks. Problem was the front kept rolling up under my foot making it uncomfortable to wear. I haven't tried them over the sock. I imagine they would still roll up when placing foot in shoes.

You could try tucking the extra length under the legs or if you're handy with a sewing machine, you could take the extra off both ends but I wouldn't put it on a 5' table otherwise. It will look sloppy.

They will work only if you keep them up ALL the time...I don't fold mine away because they aren't so easy to put down and put up..

If it's to long on the side, fold each side neat to mach each other. good luck

I think so. My husband is 5'7", 165 lbs, and they work fine. They have adjustable straps which tie around the leg so if they are too long, one could just cinch them up higher.

For them to fold properly you probably need atleast 24 inches, but as they are two seperate legs you can put them as far apart or as close together as you like. Just know if they are too close they wont fold quite as well.

You only pull them down as long as you need. So they should fit multiple different heights.
