Is is stable enough for me to do calf raises with my heels hanging off the edge on one side?

To tell you the truth, it does rock, or shift, a little when you do what you describe. But I don't think it's a problem so long as you don't elevate the platform above it's base position. Which you shouldn't have to do. Of course, with your heels hanging off (or below the flat level of the platform a little bit), it would seem to me you might need to support yourself, like you would with a stair bannister on one side, if you had one. Unless you are a championship gymnast.

Yes it is but still use caution as it could probably flip with jerky movement. Should be ok for static stretch.

It is the longest one made by anyone, so it would have to be. Your calves may overreach a bit, but it is comfortable. In fact, it may be more comfortable for you than for me. I am less than 5 feet, and it is hard to get my thighs up on it because it is so high.

It's stable enough for strict pull-ups - a little shaky on kipping pull-ups. I've tried toes-to-bar a few times. Again, if you have a lot of kip/backswing in your t2b, then it'll feel a little shaky.

Not really, unless you do a partial dip for your heel or toes. Just large enough for your hand.

it goes by the length of from your heel to the top of your cast and around the widest part of your cast on your calf. But, they are not for heavy people like me, since the top was so tight I could not bear to have it on, even though the wider part fit over my cast just fine. Basically, if you look like a JC Penny model, it will be fine.

Perfectly. You can also use a riser and do a lower cowitness if you prefer.

I don't think that would work. Per the video, your foot will be on the ground when you first step in for safety. My pullup bar isn't very high either so I lean my feet forward some to create more room. I know sometimes I lose the full extension too.

I would say no. It's best for wrapping around both ankles, and doing side, front, or back leg raises. This also strengthen hip muscles.

I disagree with others. I have foot drop and use this item. By attaching the cross straps to the sides of the ankle the front of the foot is lifted upwards. Of course, it's just neoprene so a heavy shoe or boot would counteract the effect.

I do obliques on mine every other day with no problems. I just keep my feet in like I was faced forward and twist over on my hip and turn my feet pointed sideways. The foot bar has a really grippy strip on it so even if your feet are sideways on it, they won't move. You could also just put one foot in and rest the other on the foam outside of it. Kind of hard to explain without showing you but I hope that helps!

No, because the material stretches and in your case, the material will stretch to accommodate your calf and won't be baggy. I found it to be just right.

You can as long as your foot placement is correct. Heels only. Ive done it before. But I would still use shoes.

I do not lock my ankle supports that tight. When I hang upside down my feet do not touch the footrest.

The two sets that I have hold the calf section of my boots at 15 inches which is what I need for my calves. I cannot accurately say how far the would hold the boot but there is tension left in the shaper.

Yes you can but at a lower setting. Also the edge is certainly strong enough to support you feet. Enjoy.

You could put them on the top holders if you unzipped them. But then the calf section would hang down and cover the bottom 2 rows. Boots like cowboy boots, that don't unzip, won't work well.

yes please note that it is not a sturdy /heavy Barre you may have to secure it under something for support Enjoy your workout!
