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.

They might fit if they were folded some.. I don't think it would work very well.

If they are small but you wouldnt fit a lot of them and they would have to be folded just right (narrow). I have folded wash cloths and hand towels in there and the wash cloths are side by side and are a tight fit.

I would say no. I am on my feet all day and I wear support stockings with a short pair of crew socks over them and that solves the problem. By the way, when I bought Miracle socks on amazon, they were not near as tall on the calf as the ones I got from Walmart. I don't know why that is, but they were and I couldn't use them.

I'm fairly short, about 5'7'', and the boots go up just below knees. The calf portion is fairly wide, as I didn't have any problems stuffing my pants into the boots. However, the boots fit quite wide if you don't intend to wear shoes with them. I'm an 8D and the boots are quite loose without shoes. I would go down a size if wearing boots without shoes.

You may want to. I am 5'3" on a good day and there is not much fabric at my ankles when wearing these.

No you would need to fold them in half. Works great and the height is very high so nothing will drag on the ground.

I have read that someone is 5'7" and that she like them. I am 5'11" and they work great for me. I dont see an issue with your height using them.

Yes they can but it requires that you actually fold them back up. It's not hard since the creases are already there and a pair of "sorta" old fashion clip clothespins are included. We did it for a few days but it's kind of a hassel.

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!

I'm 5'8" and think you could definitely make these work for someone a foot shorter. There's a lot of spots to shrink the shoulder-hand space as well as the overall height. The surgeon might have a pair you could at least look at, even if you want to buy them on Amazon.

Not sure of your item, but I think I see a backpacker in photo - so I'm guessing you had a question about black diamond trekking poles which I purchased from amazon. They are fully collapsable - down to 2 feet in length. They are fully adjustable - I'm 6 foot 1 inches and my wife who is 5 foot 4 inches has a pair as well - they can adjust to either height. I believe they would work well beyond those limits. They do not fold.

you need to wear find socks or you will chafe the feet, or they will fall off. If you are not going wear the socks I would go with the next size down.

Mine stand up just fine and feet slide in without them folding over. Calf size and pants may vary your experience.

Probably, I am 5'3 and they were a 1-2 inches longer than I would have liked, but when I have shoes on it wasn't a big deal, hope this helps!!

I have only worn these by themselves, but they don't seem at all bulky. Depending on the socks you put over them, they should be okay.

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.
