I got mine off Amazon. Since they’re so cheap, I got one for my desk at work too. Love’em.
Note: if you have an L shaped desk, just get small C-clamps to attach the hammock to.
Hear me out: a foot swing for the airplane. I do some brutal long hauls for work but don’t usually get to choose the airline I have status on, so stuck in coach for 12-16 hours frequently.
The foot swing is basically a thin padded cushion with straps that buckle. You put it around the arms of the tray table and then put your feet or legs on the cushion. It’s been a game changer for me, it was cheap, and it doesn’t weigh munch. I am 10x more comfortable when trying to sleep using this thing.

Most of the short folks I've worked with have a footrest under their desk, or use a chair with a foot ring.
Foot rest.
Here ya go
It is! It’s surprisingly comfortable:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0781BQL4X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_lwhoDbQP24H07
4’ 11” here. I second the footrest. This is the one I have. I would also put my feet up on the chair because it hurt my legs to sit back until I realized how much it was affecting my posture.
Sure, I got this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M35M87O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_jH3VCb72A5PPR
The strap and buckle seem a little flimsy, it probably won't last forever, but I've used it on 3 round trip flights so far and no issues. The foot part is really comfy foam.

I have the same one. Link here. It's great. I was always trying to rest my feet on my case or subwoofer, both of which have sharp corners. You won't regret getting one, but you might have to vacuum it every few weeks.
It's actually two different foot rests. One is super soft and squishy memory foam and the other is hard plastic.
Gives me the best of both worlds.

loaf mode activated. kinda looks like the cushion I'm resting my feet on. Is this your pup?
It's a foot rest I got from Amazon

Wasn't quite what I expected when looking for meal ideas this morning, but... I've used a standing desk for four or five years now. I've used drafting chairs and the kickstand stool like you linked (tip: save hundreds and make it yourself; this is a good companion footrest).
Both of them are okay for fixed-height standing desks but I just bought the IKEA crank-based adjustable height desk. I can only use the stool (or stand) for a limited amount of time, and the drafting chairs just aren't as good as the better normal-height desk chairs. With the adjustable desk, I can invest in a good quality desk chair for sitting but still switch to standing whenever I want.
I still stand, and use my seat-on-a-stick, but I also wanted to take good care of myself when I needed to sit so I think the adjustable desk is worth it.
As an aside, if you want to terrify observers and get a little bit more exercise, I often pair my seat-on-a-stick with one of these. I've only fallen once...
This is what we got for the cable management, in black.
And this is the foot rest.
Edit: Fixed links...
I do the same thing. This helped out so much keeping my wall clean. This one if you go shoe-less when at your desk.
Those things are great, dirt cheap on amazon too. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071L6MSVW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_WfGgAbPXJA2VX
Another vote for compression stockings.
I also use a desk footrest like this one. It gives some elevation and encourages me to move my feet around.
I kick my shoes off under the desk, just to help keep my feet from turning into loaves in shoes.
I finally have a thread I can contribute to. I have a whole set of tools, but none of them fit in a bag:
But seriously, how many sysadmins carry random cables and flash drives these days? Wouldn't that fall to someone like a NOC technician or something?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0781BQL4X/
Of course.
Here is the exact unit I ordered.
I've had it for months and this thing continues to retain its shape.
I highly recommend it.
Lol. Yeah, it's the older version of this one
I have an ss127. Go on amazon and buy a memory foam seat cushion . It’ll take any discomfort out of the seat I promise. Best thing I’ve bought for my kayak.
As for the perch pads buy some mighty mount rails from yak attack and mount them on the perch pad.
Also the roto grip paddle holder and rail mount cup holder from Yakattack are both great cheap additions. The cup holders oversized so you can mount it on the rail between your legs in the floor and put a drink plus scissors in it. And it’s notched to hang lures off the side.
All of these are gems that I (and many others) highly recommend. Cheers.

5 foot 5.5 inches and I'm heavy. I don't do gaming chairs (nothing against them just never found them practical). I just do general office chairs and I look for one that rated around 50-100 lbs more then I am. I also look for chairs with a metal base since I find them more durable. As for my feet not reaching that isn't a problem for me because I use the desk foot rests because I find I am more comfortable with my feet elevated an extra 6-8 inches. I generally try to find office chairs that are rated for at least 6-8 hour a day sitting because they are built sturdier. I'm a very utilitarian type gal. I can't even tell you what my current chair is because I have no clue but I did get it from an office store since they rate their chairs by hours of usage so you know the durability before you buy. This isn't the exact foot rest brand I have but it is similar. Maybe it will help with the whole feet not meeting the ground thing. https://www.amazon.com/Under-Non-Slip-Ergonomic-Footrest-Cushion/dp/B01BRU9CDW/ref=sr_1_25?qid=1574657430&s=office-products&sr=1-25

I use this, except it didn't cost $35.
I have a plastic bin under my desk that I rest my feet on most of the time, but I like my feet up high. My feet dangle too (like you mentioned - I have to keep my chair high enough that I can comfortably use the keyboard and mouse). You can find step stools of different sizes at HomeGoods, Marshalls, etc, or Walmart/Target. It doesn't have to be something fancy and expensive. This cushion looks comfy.
Good luck! I know it's a pain. It's something I don't even think about anymore b/c I've had the same set-up for so long, but it was really tough when I was pregnant to find a comfortable solution.
That's what I was thinking. I looked at this and this, from the reviews I'm leaning toward the latter even though it's not adjustable. Thanks for the advice!

The foot rest is a game changer for me personally. I’m 5’9” and with my chair leaning back my feet didn’t touch the ground. This fixed that, plus it is really nice and cushy. I got one used for like $25 on amazon. It looks white in the pics but the one I got was gray. I spray painted it white to match my setup.

This is the chair i have that I've replaced the cushions for better support with.
I have it fairly far back compared to a "proper" typing position (far enough it would be called unprofessional in an office setting) and then my legs are pretty much at the same angel with a footstool like that.
I have the armrests at full height and pulled back and my forearms rest pretty much perfectly on them ending at my wrist.
The only time I have problems is if I drop something and the game doesnt have a jumpy pickup system. That can be pretty annoying/painful sometimes.
And not really sure what a hybrid board would be, but if I have to support my weight its pretty much a no go as I'd need my walking sticks.
IKEA countertop of some kind, IKEA legs, and a...foot hammock! (ottomans and other footrests are also valid choices here).
I'm also 5' tall and have this issue, I use a foot rest though to keep my feet flat on something.

Here's the footrest. The memory foam feels amazing, especially during long sessions. You can also adjust the angle of the footrest very easily to get that perfect fit. Definitely would recommend it.

Yeah it's an adjustable footrest: https://www.amazon.com/Kensington-SoleMate-Adjustable-Footrest-K56144USF/dp/B004UQ40IS

Ok, this sounds kind of lame but someone just told me about a little sling that hooks to your seat and lets you raise your feet up a bit. I always get sore knees from sitting on long flights so may try.
Foot Rest
This: AmazonBasics Foot Rest - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DN8TG46/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_YpJlKxucLKYOL
Just a simple footrest
You could try something like this - just pay attention to the various height options (4-6 inches, depending upon model). It's only $19 at Amazon.

It seems like a keyboard tray is out of favor and it's just hard to find a desk with one, meaning you might have to face trade-offs regarding other features of the desk.
Screwing in a keyboard tray is pretty easy, and you just have to make sure the screw you use is shorter than the thickness of the desktop, so it doesn't poke through.
Also, if desk height is an issue because of your height, maybe a height adjustable chair (with no arm rest) with a foot rest might be a work-around?
You're right, and of course I have had a few people be understanding. The only problem then is that the more understanding they are, the more I feel like a dick for using the space. I'm a fit young guy and feel like nobody really believes me when I talk about pains like an old man, even if mine are self-inflicted by not going to enough physical therapy...
Until I get old enough or bold enough to not feel like an ass taking up the whole armrest, I'll just continue asking if they'd like to use this thing with me. Fingers crossed I sit next to you on my next trip, haha!
Here it is
https://www.amazon.com/Under-Non-Slip-Ergonomic-Footrest-Cushion/dp/B01BRU9CDW ?
its $30. its above average in price compared to the others. Thats why i ask the firmness of it. I dont like memory foam ones as they tend to be too soft.
It looks like this one. There are many similar variations if you just search "foot rest under desk".
My idea isn't really for looks but more about comfort. Having a foot rest is really nice in my opinion. It helps with circulation on the back of your legs after sitting for long periods of time.
edit: There's also this type as well
I tried that Ikea foot rest and found it flimsy and small. The alternative I went with that's more utilitarian-looking, but also far sturdier: AmazonBasics Foot Rest.
