I’m going to teach you about open-toe and closed-toe footrests. This is especially important for people with larger feet.
An open-toe footrest allows you to fit any foot size inside the massage compartment, and it will still massage your feet properly.
A closed-toe footrest, on the other hand, has a front barrier. Because of that, you’re limited by the front of the foot roller area. Most closed-toe designs comfortably fit up to about a men’s size 13.
So here’s the rule of thumb:
-
Size 13 or smaller: You can use either a closed-toe or an open-toe footrest.
-
Larger than size 13: You’ll want an open-toe design so your toes don’t get squished or compressed, which can make the massage uncomfortable.
I hope that makes sense and that you found this video helpful.
I’m Dr. Alan Weidner from Massage Chair Relief, and I’ll see you in the next video.
Bye-bye.
