      The Footer is a newly designed and patented footrest that can be mounted to a chair and integrate seamlessly into today’s modern office. Desk jobs require people to sit down all day, every day, and sitting for long periods of time is especially hard on our bodies. Proper feet and leg support are essential ergonomic variables and often overlooked. The Footer is a simple solution that targets both issues simultaneously.
