Very Useful
It comes with a very big guide book to find what area you are trying to treat. Which is great as my wife and I have different foot issues. I would recommend using the app though as it is a little confusing to get the right foot placement without seeing the video , overall great

I love slant boards but this isn’t it
I purchased the Heel Hero in spite of its eye watering price because the heel holder and the toe incline were unique among other slant board options. I figured the price would be worth it as it appeared well-constructed and engineered. Most of it is. The heel piece is a flimsy piece of plastic that constantly pops out during use and I’ve only had it a few weeks and I’m already in fear of one of the plastic pegs that hold it in place breaking as that will render it useless. This is the biggest flaw and the reason why I would advise people to not buy it.
The grippiness of the board is not sufficient (I’ve tried in socks, different shoes and barefoot), in theory it’d be less important as you have the edge piece to hold your foot into place but again it pops out multiple times even when just trying to use it for 30s.
The spring of the incline is overactive which makes it hard to store away, it constantly wants to pop up when I’m trying to flatten it out to put away. Overall, super frustrating experience with the product and I would be unhappy with the product at a $50 price point, let alone the $100 that I paid on sale or the $120 it retails at

I never knew how poorly I was stretching...
I never knew how poorly I was stretching my calves, ankles and feet until I got the Heel Hero. I'm about 200 pounds and it's incredibly sturdy no matter what exercise I'm doing. It's incredibly easy to use intuitively by itself, with the Sidekick app OR with the book that comes included in the bundle. The heel stopper is a game changer and so is the adjustable toe section. I am extremely happy with my purchase and I'm super excited to get back to my old life after this injury. Recommending to EVERYONE!! Thank you!!!
