Need smaller covers for wheels below 20 in?
FAQ “Do You Sell Covers for Wheels Smaller Than 20 Inches?”
Unfortunately, we do not sell covers for wheelchair wheels smaller than 20 inches. The demand for these sizes is too low for manufacturers to produce them commercially. However, you can easily adapt RehaDesign Wheelchair Slippers to fit smaller wheels with a few simple steps.
How to Modify RehaDesign Wheelchair Slippers for Smaller Wheels
If you need covers for wheels under 20 inches, you can resize RehaDesign Slippers by following this method:
- Carefully remove the seam – Use a seam ripper or small scissors to open up the slipper along the stitched edge.
- Measure and cut – Place the slipper around your wheel and mark where it needs to be resized. Trim off the excess material to fit your wheel’s diameter.
- Sew it back together – Using a strong needle and durable thread, stitch the slipper back along the new edge to ensure a secure fit. If you have access to a sewing machine, it will make the process quicker and more durable.
- Reattach the elastic (if needed) – If the adjustment affects the fit of the elastic band, you may need to shorten it slightly to keep the slipper snug on the wheel.
By making these simple modifications, you can create a custom fit for smaller wheelchair wheels, ensuring the same level of floor protection and reduced tracking of dirt as standard RehaDesign Slippers.
Need Help? Find a Local Tailor or Seamstress
If you’re not confident in making the alterations yourself, you can take the slippers to a local seamstress or tailor. Many people offering alteration services advertise in local shop windows—look out for business cards promoting sleeve shortening or trouser hemming.
Another option is Timpson, which has many high street branches across the UK and offers clothing alterations. They may be able to resize the slippers for you. You can check their services here.
