My husband is 6'7" and wears a size 15 shoe. Will he be able to use it? Will the very short stride be a frustration to someone so large?

I am 5'7" and have a shorter stride. It took me a bit to get used to the stride of the machine but I don't feel like its an issue now. Because his stride is so long you might try to find a machine with a similar stride in a store for him to test before you make a purchase. This is the only elliptical I have ever used for an extended amount of time so it is all I know. My brother ,who is about my height, seemed to think the stride was strange the first time he was on it but after a little while he adjusted, he has tested many ellipticals.

I think it would not be a very good fit for him. I am 5'9" and the stride is okay. However, my machine is not very sturdy and it is really noisy. I think this machine would drive him nuts. The foot pedals are also at a slant, so you sort of have to concentrate to keep your feet back or your toes will crunch. The machine is okay, but if I were any taller or heavier I am afraid it would just fall apart.

He's gonna need somwmething more sturdy. I'm only 4' 11 its perfect for me. Yes it would be a frustration. Its more for shorter people. You would be better getting something else

I would imagine he would not get the stride he needs for his size. We are both 5'8" and 5'6" and it is perfect for us but is not adjustable.

I'm six foot myself and yes it's plenty long to run with a comfortable stride. Although it can get a bit noisy at higher speeds

I wear a size 10 1/2 EEEE Adidas running shoe and it fits me. There is a design problem which I find and that is when walking the first part of the shoe to hit the ground is the back of the heel - this part does not come into contact with the treckers so if you hit an especially slippery ice patch the forward foot can slip up instead of rocking forward. this can result in a fall. Knowing this one can walk flat footed over obvious slippery spots, but you have to conciously change your normal walking gait.

This walker will be perfect for you, my wife is 5'7" and I had to drill an extra set of holes to raise the handles a little higher for her. This walker is ideal for someone 4'8"-5'5".

Probably not. The rise in the arch is almost considered extreme. I have quite the arch and putting all my weight (220, 6'1") on the arch support of the insert can hurt your feet in the wrong shoes. It would be painful for someone with little or no arch. You are better off trying a different Dr. Scholls foot insert and not this one specifically.

My husband is 6 foot 2 inches and we still have no problem. I think you'll be just fine.

We think it would not work for him. My husband, 5'7", found it almost too short and small and unstable.

Sure, yes. It's only designed to protect your heel, and does not extend to the toes. So you shouldn't have to worry about shoe size (length). I think this will work just fine for you.

You are right at the top of the height range for this walker. I see a couple of other questions like yours, and two people who are 6' 2" said the walker worked well for them. There are very few walkers made for taller people, and this is a really excellent one, so you probably will be happy with it. Hope this helps.

I think so. I wear a 14w-15. I'm 6'5" 300 lbs. sometimes it's slightly tight on my heel, but not always and not bad. Rotating it slightly seems to help. I love this brace. I've had it since October and I don't even notice it anymore. Good luck!

I wouldn't tryit. The foot splint doesn't allow a decent stride. It prevents you from bending forward because of its placement.

My husband is 6'3" and wears a 13 or 14 shoe. His waders fit fine, though they're very generous, and adjustable. I'd say they're pretty much fit to size if you go by shoe size.

Its pretty narrow for a person. I would say "no" as the controls are also located at the bottom so you would either need to start it and then jump on or have someone operate it for you while on. The stride might be a little short as well. Too many unknowns to say it would.

You'd definitely be able to use it. There is no low end on the height limit. I'm 6'3 and its almost at its limit, but it'll definitely be fine for shorter users. I've found the pedals are rather easy to break if you're going hard and standing, but they are replaceable.

no! We found out too late. We couldn't return it. They would not let us return it. We never used it because my son's foot would not fit.

My husband is 6'2 and says that it is comfortable for him, but your hubby at 6'4 might not be. But I think that is pretty normal for the tall ones. Lol

My husband is the shortest of all the answers. It is a great walker and I didn't have to adjust it. I'm sure you will be pleased with this walker.
