Heel Hero Incline Training Platform

This is a very solid, heavy-duty unit that feels built to last. It grips extremely well on hardwood, tile, and carpet, and the overall construction and materials feel high quality.

One of my favorite features is the separate toe wedge, along with the multiple adjustment settings for both the wedge and the main platform. The ability to position the toes and heel independently makes a noticeable difference, allowing for a deeper, more active stretch and more ways to adjust the stretch to your needs.

The extras are also well thought out. The spiral-bound guide and companion app with QR-linked videos make it much easier to understand proper foot placement and learn the various exercises and routines. Overall, the combination of solid construction, adjustability, and good instructional support makes this a very well-designed product.

It’s really helped with my planter fasciitis and given me a chance to stretch my tight calves as im a tennis coach and on my feet all day. Great product, easy to use.

This thing gave me a serious WOW moment.

I lightly sprained my ankle about 8 weeks ago, it still felt raw even though I got back into exercising again - motion alone was not healing it.

I did one 30 second ankle stretch on this thing and IMMEDIATE healing, like I unlocked some hidden movement that allowed blood to flow in. Incredible.

Heel Hero FTW!

I have had a couple years of plantar faciitus, and also achilles tendinopathy from too much running and years of gymnastics. Heel Hero had a very easy to follow guide so it was very easy to get started and do the exercises correctly. Plus the build quality feels very top notch!

Very impressed with how well this is made.adjusting the height is simple. Range of different stretches/ exercises is great.

Well constructed and stable. Exercise videos and materials can use a lot of work. Most of the videos look similar and it is difficult to determine which muscles should be activated during each exercise. Written description accompanying the videos would be a great help.

I've been battling Achilles and heel pain for months with no relief. The Heel Hero is built to handle my size and addresses the calves and toe extension simultaneously. The accompanying app is keeping me on track and I have felt steady improvement over the past few weeks using it. Really great solution and extremely well biult.

I am enjoying using the hero incline tool. I am noticing a difference in my achilles pain by simply using the tool to stretch daily. I would highly recommend the tool to anyone. It is well constructed and intuituve

Extremely stable and much bigger than I imagined. Works very well for calf stretching.

Fast shipping. qulity materials

Great way to stretch my foot and amazing instruction booklet to help get started! Has really helped my plantar fasciitis!

post op OR

Heel Hero’s toe wedge settings to stretch my plantar fascia deeper than other slant boards.

Absolutely wonderful. It really allows me to stretch my calf, heel and toes and I find that even at a beginner level it is exactly what I wanted/needed. It also built extremely well and solid and will last a lifetime of uses. It you need something to help stretch your calf, heel, or toes this is a product that you should have in your arsenal.

I've had a hard time with shin splints and I can tell that the Heel Hero will make a huge difference in my recovery and training. I've had the it for about 3 weeks now and I can already see a big improvement. Will definitley incorporate this in my regular strenght and mobility training.

So far the product appears very well made and versatile with the various adjustment options. I have a lot of foot/leg issues and this product helps me get a very deep stretch, which is typically hard for me with other products.

The ability to get both Achilles and toe range is amazing!

The Heel Hero is very robustly built. It is heavy and lots of substantial metal parts. I can’t imagine having any issues with it breaking!

I had a subtalor fusion and did 8 weeks of physical therapy. After I was done, I started using the heel hero, and in only two days, I already feel so much progress. I was starting to get pain near my big toe, as we had kinda stopped stretching that part of my foot after a couple weeks. This genius device really just stretches everything at once. I can feel the stretch all the way up into the back of my calf! I love it!

Perfect way to work on repairing my plantar fasciitis. I’m able to do all my physio recommended exercises using this board.

Really like it so far. Much better foot stretches for ankle and calf issues than wall stretches or anything else PT has recommended.

I got ankle surgery this year and have had a hard time regaining my ankle flexibility. I saw the Sidekick brand on social media, and read tons of great reviews; so, I decided to try it out and bought the Heel Hero. The Heel Hero has helped me a lot in just a short period of time in regaining more ankle mobility and also reducing stiffness/pain. I would definitely recommend this tool for anyone experiencing ankle pain and in need to increasing ankle mobility.

Great for my plantar fasciitis

This tool has been a life saver! The stretch and range of exercises that can be done have been so helpful in strengthening and easing my foot pain. The app has been super helpful. Highly recommend!

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've had my Heel Hero for several weeks now. I have a number of issues from my toes to my knees that have come from years of working out and not putting too much effort into recovery. I see a physiotherapist when things get bad, but one thing this tool has given me is consistency in stretching out my arches and ankles. My physio certainly encouraged me to do the same things, but I've never committed as much as I have since getting the Heel Hero.

Is it working? I don't feel my plantar fasciitis anymore, and in general, my feet feel more relaxed. I'm now working on the achillies which is pretty chronic, so I know it'll take time.

I'd definitely recommend 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
