A foot rest installation 11 comprises a base structure that includes a footwell 22 and a foot rest assembly 24. The installation may be provided as part of a seating assembly 10 within a vehicle such as an aircraft. Alternatively the installation may be provided within a bulkhead or in a console. The foot rest assembly 24 has a deployable foot rest support structure 26 and a first foot rest component 30 comprising a flexible structure, for example a net, having a first end 32 fixed with respect to the base structure 20 at a first location 34, and a second end 36 coupled to the foot rest support structure at a second location 38 that is spaced apart from the pivot axis along a front-to-rear axis. When deployed, the foot rest support structure extends downward and rearward from the pivot axis to deploy the net in the footwell. When stowed, the foot rest support structure extends upward and rearward from the pivot axis.
