Toe Bands

I want to strengthen my feet.Too early to tell but I think this can help. I am on my feet all day at work and have problems with plantar fasciitis. It comes with a book
with alot of exercises which is really cool. Give it a try. I recommend it.

I actually bought this set for my husband and his bunions. But when it came, I decided to use it myself first :). Since I specifically. have issues with my feet, I love these fabric bands (and the small anchors!). They are much better for me than the small rubber toe band I have. Also, I find the black anchors help keep the bands on my toes during exercise. Nothing like a band that keeps snapping off to interrupt a session! The booklet with the exercises in "sections" is a excellent helper, and the exercises are very diverse. One of my bands was coming apart at the seams, and it was immediately replaced, very quick customer service.

I have rubber toe bands, and I like the fabric ones much better because they stay in place. They also come with an extra loop which helps keep the band in place on the foot. The book is separated by parts of the foot which helps separate between targeted injury, recovery, or complete exercise.

My only complaint is that the light band is already coming apart, which I’m going to contact Customer Service about. I like that each exercise is linked to a video, very good for visual people like me.

I've been using the Sidekick Toe Bands along with the balance board for just a short time, and I'm honestly blown away by how much of a difference they've already made. Within my first few uses, I became far more conscious of actually engaging my toes when walking — something I never thought about before. The result? Not only less discomfort in my feet, but noticeably less pain in my shins, knees, and hips too.

I've been in and out of physical therapy for years trying to address these exact issues, and not one PT ever incorporated toe or foot strengthening into my program. Looking back, I think that was a huge missing piece. I've spent so much time, money, and energy searching for relief, and these simple tools have done more in a handful of sessions than years of other interventions.

That said, I do have two real concerns about the toe bands that I feel I need to flag honestly:

Durability: After only a few uses, I'm already noticing the threading starting to fray. I'm genuinely unsure how much longer they'll hold up, which is disappointing given how effective they are.

Slippage: The bands slip quite a bit during use, which is frustrating and disruptive to the workout. It breaks the flow and honestly makes it harder to stay motivated.

The concept and the results are truly impressive — I just hope Sidekick can improve the build quality to match. If they can address the durability and the slipping issue, this would be a solid 5-star product without question. For now, a strong 4 stars for effectiveness, with a note to the brand: please reinforce those bands!

I needed these! The book is phenomenal; it has color pictures of multiple exercises and options. I use these to gain strength in my neuropathy stricken feet, along with the toe spreaders

I understand the importance of strong toes with regard to aging and balance. These bands are well made and being woven rather than rubber, they stay put while using and don't pinch. The included Exercise Manual is excellent in knowing how to use these for best results.

Book is great .. wish the toe bands had more resistance … feels like the elastic is too stretchy.

Fast international shipping, and the Toe Bands were a great promo free gift with my purchase of the Heel Hero — excellent value! The instructional manual and videos are also very helpful and easy to follow. They’ll be a useful addition to my rehab routine and for maintaining overall foot strength. Very happy with the purchase!

Love the bands and the exercise book that comes with it, I have found that the bands have stretched a little but they still work well

I'm still new to using these toe bands but so far the exercises seem like they will be of benefit and will help my general ankle weakness and plantar fasciitis. The videos could show the exercises from different angles which would help with understanding what to do, and having two equivalent bands of the same color (strength) would be helpful for doing the exercises on both feet at the same time instead of doing at the same time with different colors.

Been wanting something like this for a while with my bad hip strength. Excited to give this a shot and can’t wait to see the improvements in my mechanics

Good !!!

I like the band size. Makes it easier to focus on foot strength

Need to strengthen my feet; These make it easy

I have only used them a bit thus far, but the toe bands really help strengthen your toes. I also like how they prevent slipping with the individual toe bands as well. I do think they could benefit from some stronger material though as I worry they will wear out fast.

Good quality, well made being woven it does move & stays where you placed it without slipping. Really liked the booklet that came with it.

Quality product with clear instructions and minimal packaging. I have tried other toe bands and they were flimsy garbage within six weeks of use. I’m very impressed with these.

looking forward to using to strengthen my feet

I purchased these to use for my toe and foot exercises. They are perfect for what I am needing and the booklet is good too.

I thought my toes were pretty good, I have been a barefoot/minimalist shoe guy for a little while now. But during a mobility class at my gym I realized only my first few toes had a lot of individual strength. I picked up a set of these as well as the toe spreaders to improve my toes in the evenings while watching TV. Super convenient and the included book is amazing. So many great exercises and the ability to see how it impacts different injuries it worth every penny. A must have for better foot health.

So helpful for building back strength through a bout of plantar fasciitis and correcting faulty movement patterns! Feeling way more "connected" to my stride toe-off now. Highly recommend!

the quality of the bands are good. I have only been using the bands for a short time so I can't say that I have noticed much change in my bunion however I do know that this will take time. The overall of my feet do feel better and I am very hopeful.

the book is very comprehensive and the video links are helpful. it would nice if they cut to multiple angles because sometimes its a little difficult to see what the foot movement actually is. the bands probably will stretch out over time but that for now doesn’t seem like a major issue.

I haven’t used this product except for a few times. I haven’t a limited range of motion in my left big toe because if it’s shape. My podiatrist said there’s not really evidence that tools like these work but we both thought why not try anyhow. I have been using the toe spacers and I like those a lot — with those, I’ve noticed a difference for sure.

I like the toe bands, but am irritated that I used one for like 5 minutes and it has already started to fray at the seams.

I really like the toe bands and they are helping my bunion pain by strengthening my foot. The light was wearing quickly (am i stronger than i thought?!) So i switched to the stronger band. I do wonder at the cost to durability ratio. The size is great and that makes the product unique in a saturated marketplace! And the book with guidance is invaluable.

I love my Axisboard and was really looking forward to this product but unfortunately, I was quite disappointed. THE quality of the bands is quite poor. After only 2 uses, are already visibly stretched out and have started fraying. The companion book of exercises is great but otherwise,I feel like you can get a similar quality product for so much less.

I can only do two of the exercises, which tells you how bad my feet are. But exactly what I need. Recommended.
