I can actually put 2 feet on this wedge. It does a terrific job of stretching out my Achilles tendon which I need to do every single day. I put it in the kitchen right in front of my coffee machine.

Was expecting yoga block foam (ie firm). My feet sink into these blocks with body weight only, they are soft-ish foam. Adding weight for squats, etc is totally out of the question. Note - I am close to 200 lbs. YMMV.

Just perfect..! I don't need a very high slant, so it works just right for me. It's light enough to pack in my luggage, which is important, because I need it when I am traveling when I know that my achilles tendon and plantar fasciae will tighten up on me. I also use it to put under my feet when I am in an uncomfortable restaurant chair and need a slant board to help position my back in the chair.Also, the foam is just a bit soft so I can stand on it barefoot and the pressure doesn't hurt my bunion. And there is minimal foot-sliding because of the sticky texture of the foam. I'm delighted with this "find."

I bought this product to help stretch out my calves before exercising. My physical therapist suggested I stretch a lot more before and after running, and I thought this looked like a great way to do that. She showed me another way to stretch against a floor board, but I didn't think it worked well and don't care to dirty my white floor boards. The OPTP slant works fantastic. They're lightweight, so easy to move and give a great stretch. I prop then next to my TV, so they're convenient to set up and use while watching TV prior to my workout. The material seems flimsy, but mine have held up good. And lastly, the price couldn't be beat compared to others for sale.

I bought this product due to the fact that in my rehabilitation sessions they had me use one and it was a good slant. The one they have is a cushioned slant and I hoped this would be the same. Unfortunately when I get the item it's nothing but a Styrofoam block cut diagonally. It did stretch my calf but the material is crappy I'll give it a chance but my first impression was to return it. And the description is vague on the material.

So simple, yet it provides such a better stretch to the calf muscles than anything else I've tried without it.While I previously thought O was stretching my calf muscles, after using this one time I realized how wrong I was. Using these *really* stretches the calf. And it feels awesome! The foam is comfortable to step on, even in bare feet. And it compresses slightly which is useful (makes it a little more comfortable). I have not had a problem with my foot slipping off as another reviewer has commented. Initially it does seem a bit pricey for what they are... but they have worked far better than anything else I tried. That makes it worth the price. They have greatly helped me doing my PT exercises for my Patellar Tendonitis. I was also starting to have a problem with plantar fasciitis (on the same side as my bad knee) which disappeared after a day or two of using this.It's amazing the havoc a couple of overly tight muscles do to all the things around them.

You can really feel the calf stretch with this Slant. I am using it as one of the tools in my arsenal to relieve Plantar Fasciatis and Achilles Tendinitis. I am not an athlete, I have just had foot problems all my life. I didn't notice any of the black bits coming off after the initial unpacking. I am a large person and the foam is solid enough to support without leaving much of an imprint. What little is there goes away shortly after getting off the slant. The PT had heel drops (standing on a stair lowering my heel below the step) on my exercise list, but they were uncomfortable in the arch of my foot. This seems to give the same stretch but with support to the arch and I feel more stable. I keep it at the foot of my bed and try to do the stretches morning and night. I am glad I bought it.

I first got into using a slant board for this stretch when I went to physical therapy after back surgery. I had always done this lower leg stretch after running with both my feet planted level on the ground. My PT therapist had a slant board, and so I understood just how effective it can be to use a slant board instead of what I had been doing. I've wanted to buy one of these, but the price of the wooden ones is just too much money for me.I came across this item while browsing Amazon and decided that the price was right and that I'd give it a try. In short, this is a perfect slant board for a lower leg stretch. Yes, it's only a black foam slab cut on a bias, but it supports my body just fine and doesn't break or become misshapen. I think this product will be very durable and I can't imagine it not lasting for at least a few years, if not longer.While you get two slant boards with this product, I'm only using one. The picture shows this product to be a bit narrower than it is in reality. I position the slant board about 2 feet away from the wall, put both feet on it, and then lean forward, using the wall as support. You can immediately feel the stretch in your lower leg. I do three sets of 30 seconds each.The product stores easily and is as light as a feather. If you're a runner or need physical therapy that includes this stretch, consider this product. This is one of those times when less expensive is actually better! I'm not sure how this would hold up to day-in and day-out use in a commercial setting like a physical therapist's office, but for an individual or family, this is an excellent product that does the job at a very affordable price.There are no instructions that come with it, and I'm not aware of any other use for it other than this stretch. If you live in a small apartment, storage might be an issue you need to think about. If, however, you have the room to put it away after each use, it is ideal for its purpose.Highly recommended.
