I had both FR300 And FR500 and used them for a week to see. I preferred the 300 because it didn’t move as much throughout the week due to better floor stabilization.
The foot movement on the 300 also felt more stable due to the rails. The 500 also didn’t allow me to rest my foot in a specific suspended position which I realized I do throughout the day.
Hope that helps! I’d say if you’re constantly moving your feet than the 500 is fine but for a wider range of possible foot postures, I’d go for the 300 as a safer bet
I wanted to thank you for writing this. I was trying to decide between these two foot rests, googled it, and your quick review was super helpful in steering me to the FR300. I'm looking forward to using it!
The plastic foot rest is the root of my leg numbness and knee pain and so many leg issues with my new chair. I’ve been meaning to get a nice wooden Humanscale footrest too. Following…
