Do you need to weight yourself barefoot like you do on the WW scale?

Hi. I'm not familiar with the requirements of the WW scales. But anytime you want an accurate reading, getting on barefoot is the best option. I would imagine this is why the instructions insist that you don't get on with wet feet. The scale bed is glass and slippery when wet.

No you don't. I wore socks and it's pretty accurate! Hope this helpshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JimJhsnPFEU&feature;=youtu.be

I have used the scale barefoot as well as with socks on and it is accurate both ways.

I tried it barefoot and it wasn't too comfortable. I recommend wearing shoes.

I haven't gotten sore feet from using unless barefooted on it. Mine does make a little noise but it still works fine.

It is what it is. A scale. I'm 183cms tall (6 ft) and no problem at all - numbers are large and easy to read. It is, I assume a barefoot scale so you should be careful before step on. Yes, top is non-slip.

No. Essentially the sensor is a pedometer. Your foot needs to hit the ground.

Must be BARE FOOT and dry when standing on scale. If not, will not give readings other than weight.

I'm not sure about the correct way to stand on the scale. I think I stood on it barefooted, with my heels on the back of the scale and my toes hanging off the front. I do know that each time I stood on it, I stood with my feet in the same position - and still got different readings. As I recall, the readings were 2-3 pounds different each time. If you haven't had the scale more than 30 days, I would return it - it's just too inaccurate. Hope this helps.

Does this need to be re-calibrated when you move it before you weigh yourself?

Hello. You can do both to start the scale. I just step on and it works everytime.

You can wear shoes or go barefoot the Matt is large enough to do any excercise it does not have any cushion one side is sticky smooth so the Mat won't slip on the side that you excercise on it has micro grooves for traction (hard to keep clean)sweeping won't work very well vacuming seems to work better a bristle brush and a mild detergent makes it look new the rubber smell lasts for a month then it seems to fade away overall if your going to do p-90x--insanity -- or the new T-25 you will like it .

Bare feet are OK. The key is consistency, weigh daily dressed the same way. Some people wear nothing to avoid clothing weight affecting their measurements.

I would say not as well as it does on a flat surface. When I weighed myself with this scale being on a thick carpet,it was not the same as when I'd had my weight taken at my physician's office. I waited an hour or so and then weighed myself with the scale on a flat, hard surface. It was then the same weight as it was in the doctor's office.I was told, then, by the nurse that it is always best to weigh yourself - on ANY scale - on a FLAT EVEN surface. I believe this to be accurate information. But I wouldn't worry about a difference of 1-2 pounds!!

do you have to manually set the scale as user 1, etc every time you step on it??

I would say "Yes" although I have not used it barefoot. You can also place fleece or some comfortable/soft fabric on the top and put your feet on the fabric. The footrest is large enough that fabric with some weight would stay put on it.

The scales are kinda sensitive & it depends on the size of your feet. For travel, just keep in mind it will vary by about 1.5 pounds. At home, I keep the scales in one place and stand on them on the middle of my feet. They are great but really best to see weight variations & total lost. Go to the doctor or get scales that are not digital if you're after a more exact weight.

In order for the scale to display more than just your weight your feet must be bare and in contact with the metal strips on the top of the scale. No shoes or socks. It figures out the muscle and fat measurements by running a small electrical current through your body. Hence the requirement for the skin on the bottom of your feet to be in contact with the two shiny metal strips. It will display your weight and then you will see a sequence of zeroes on the bottom line, and then it will display the other measurements such as percentage fat, percentage muscle and bone.

Yes. Just make sure you assemble it properly. Assembly can be annoying. I would suggest a socket wrench set. You'll be inverted in no time if you have a socket wrench. I invert every day with it. Seems very solid. I weigh about 172lbs. I would say that if you weighed over 210lbs, you might feel less sturdy on it, but I think it's rated for a lot higher. You can't beat the price either. Make sure assembly is done correctly and you're golden. I don't use the snap on boots with this and it is not required. Shoes or even barefoot works just find. Hope this helps. Good luck on your search.
