An auxiliary footrest for removably mounting to a chair having a post is disclosed. The footrest includes a clamp configured to be removably mounted to the post of the chair and generally C-shaped frame fixed to the clamp. The frame includes a foot support bar and opposite ends which define respective mounting rods for mounting the frame to clamp. The clamp includes a first bracket and a second bracket, each of which may be generally W shaped. Each of the brackets is mounted between the respective mounting rods of the frame, receiving the post between opposed V-shaped wall sections of the brackets. The brackets are secured to exert a squeezing force against generally opposite sides of the post, thereby fixing the footrest to the chair so that the foot support bar is cantilevered forwardly and elevated above the floor. The user can install and/or adjust the footrest at a desired vertical level for custom comfort. Additionally, the frame may be secured to the clamp in a variety of horizontal positions to permit adjustment of the foot support bar to a desired horizontal distance from the post.

1. A footrest for removably mounting to a chair having a post, the footrest comprising: a clamp, the clamp configured to be removably mounted to the post of the chair, the clamp includes a first bracket and a second bracket, the brackets being configured to receive the post securely therebetween, each of the brackets includes a substantially V-shaped wall portion, the first and second brackets being positioned so that the respective V-shaped wall portions oppose each other to define an aperture to receive the post, the V-shaped wall portions squeezing against generally opposite sides of the post; and a frame including a foot support bar, the frame being adjustably mounted to the clamp in a cantilevered manner such that the foot support bar is positioned in an elevated manner relative to the floor, the frame being horizontally movable relative to the clamp, the frame being generally C-shaped, the frame including opposite end portions which define first and second mounting rods for mounting the frame to the clamp, the mounting rods being proximal and generally parallel to each other, the frame including an intermediate portion defining the foot support bar which extends in a generally curved manner between the first and second mounting rods; a plurality of bolts, each of the bolts extending through a pair of associated holes in the first and second mounting rods; wherein each bracket of the clamp is mountable between the first and second mounting rods of the frame, each bracket has a pair of substantially planar mounting flanges, the flanges being at opposite ends of the respective bracket, the opposite flanges of each bracket being securable to the respective first and second mounting rods such that each of the bolts extends through holes in each of the opposite mounting flanges of a respective one of the brackets, the mounting rods respectively compressing inwardly against the brackets. 2. The footrest of claim 1, wherein each of the brackets is generally W-shaped. 3. The footrest of claim 1, wherein each of the mounting rods includes a plurality of holes disposed in a horizontal row for horizontal adjustability of the footrest. 4. The footrest of claim 3, wherein each of the holes of the mounting rods comprises a slot to permit horizontal adjustment of the bolt within the respective hole. 5. The footrest of claim 1, wherein each of the flanges includes a plurality of holes disposed in a vertical row for vertical adjustability of the footrest. 6. The footrest of claim 1 wherein the frame is constructed of a unitary piece of metal tubing, and the first and second mounting rods of the frame are substantially planar. 7. The footrest of claim 1, wherein the frame is vertically movable relative to the clamp.
