I don't adjust the pin. I just slide my feet in and out. Yes, I think it is pretty easy.

Easy for left hand, more difficult for right hand. Pull pin, adjust ankle brace. Right hand for heighth, but only once.

Yes, when you step onto the machine, you place your feet on the lowest bar and your ankles are between the two padded holders. The holders are tightened by a pin system. Pull the pin, the top holder falls tighter and the pin is replaced at the proper setting.

Enough adjustment exists to allow you to slide yoursef right out at the ankle position. This machine has all the goodies of the much higher priced ones with the exception of the lumbar support, which if needed, can be augmented by a small pillow.

It's not too difficult to switch. Keep the Kinesis where you will use it most though. There is a little adjustment going each way.

Yes you can. To be able to do this you have to make sure that your height is exact. If you don't you can still do it but it will pull at your ankles

If someone else initially laced the shoes and adjusted the tightness, then getting your foot in and out with one hand would work well. These would be very difficult to tighten with one hand. But most days there is no need to tighten them.

It has good padding. But when I am on it my ankles aren't really the issue. It is the top pad of my foot that receives the most pressure. To correct that I just wear shoes while I am on it.

It's super easy. You place the seat on top of the adaptor and it clicks into place. You can definitely use one hand.

I'm not going to lie, not super comfy. What I did was take a pair of Thick, Fleece slipper socks...... I cut the ends off and slipped them over the ankle bars. It was a big help. Over-all, I still rate this a VERY nice inversion table.

Try the adult short leg version. . The one I had only fit to above the ankle. It might be too long but you can always push it down. It works gret. Get well soon.

Yes...if your very good with you toe. This will only be possible if you were bot wearing shoes I would guess. With its placement I would bet an easy home grown physical pad could be added to the button to make it more accessible.

Axial (sideways) freedom of movement once your shoes are clipped in. You will appreciate it!

A bit awkward, I can manage one arm at a time, it is Velcro fastener so easy to adapt. I hope this info helps.

Your height would not be a problem but when you invert even at the smallest inversion, there is a slight pull on you ankles and knees. It would probably be best to ask your doctor about that.

I wear 8 1/2, but I strongly see that it would adjust and fit up a couple more sizes. My concern at first was the fact that my ankle swells x3 in size due to a destroy foot & ankle and the reconstruction was all that could be done if I kept the foot....so I am happy to live with my "elephant pod"...There are two inner straps that criss=cross and you adjust the size inside over the top and then the outside flap has it's own adjustment. This is the most comfort I have ever received from any ankle support. Good Luck~~I believe it would be worth the $ to order just one and judge for yourself. They can always be donated.

I would say so. One leg at a time like socks. The main thing is getting past the ankle which can be hard.

I adjusted mine to a comfortable fit and slide my feet in:/out. I find much easier than trying to adjust every time.

Using the Velcro strap, you can adjust down to pretty small--and you don't want it too tight for circulation's sake. I always used them on my ankles but just put it on my wrist (they are small) and it works--not as good as it does for my ankles but the job gets done. I find these better for medium-small women. Men and larger women might have trouble with them.

hello, I am also a small size woman, 104 lbs., with small ankles. I wear the band-weights on top of my exercise socks and cuff pants, for comfort as well as to minimize any rubbing on my ankles. The adjustable ankle Velcro is fine to wrap around. So far I am almost to the top of the weights and I have not had any problems. You should however, start with a low weight and gradually adjust it up, as you gain strength while walking. Try as much as possible, not to change the stride or do any unfamiliar twists on your ankles. This will minimize or eliminate any muscle /tendon pain. Slow weights/speed increases as you walk is always better. Best wishes, Carmen Sofia hello, I am also a small size woman, 104 lbs., with small ankles.
