I have what is called foot drop. Does this hold the toes up (off the floor) at all?

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.

yes. keep them bare on the bottom for best results. drape a small blanket or towel loosely over the top part of your feet. It's ok to wiggle your toes - ha!

Yes. .. but the only issue is that the company that i ordered forgot to send the center that hold the weight. They shipped it separate. Also the area at the top where you place your feet has adhesive that does not hold well. Other than that it works fine

When level, the platform may be raised 3/4" to allow your feet to rest from 4" to 4-3/4" from the floor. As it also pivots in the center it allows your heels to be as little as 1" off the floor and your toes as much as 6" above the floor depending on how you adjust it and the angle of tilt.

No, It doesn't. But there is an easy trick that works well. If you have a cane, pull the top of the sock out and insert the cane about three inches. Then simply push down with the cane towards the back of your heel. It drags the sock right off your foot.

No. The loop is too large to keep the toe spreader in place on a little toe.

The underside is sticky. You can peel off layers of the heel to adjust the lift to the height you need. I peel off one layer to make it a one-quarter inch lift. I use them in my Nike trainer shoes, because you can lift up the insole and put underneath. I have one leg shorter than the other. Works great.

"Lift" is just what people mean by how much your foot goes up after the heel insert is put in your shoe. You are putting something in your shoe that "lifts" your foot up. Does that make sense? Instead of your heel sitting flatly on the original insole, it now is up a bit because of the insert, which is what I do not like about the insert, as it puts my foot up higher than where shoes are slightly indented to "hug" your ankle. See how the back of your shoe rounds in above your heel/ankle? Putting in the heel insert made it so my head was up there a bit.

I have put shoes below the lower shelf. It works well for shoes that aren't very high up, like a sandal or flip flop, but I have got my tennis shoes under it. My fiance is even able to put his dress shoes for work below the lower shelf.

Not sure if it does, I don't have a tape measurer to check, however, it raises enough for my legs to plant firmly on the floor and not feel like they are either too low or too high, and I am 6' tall, so, that is important to me. However, it doesn't lean back at all, it's locked in a rigid position unless I change the angle or height, it does not allow a rocking type motion.

I don't know because I didn't use it that way . I just used it to elevate my foot on top of the mattress after a foot reconstruction and on top of the couch

Yes, hard to describe without trying it but, while you are using it it is also positioning your foot in a way (toes/midfoot dorsiflexed) that stretches the plantar fascia, at same time as the calves. when you hang over stair, you can get the calve well, but this device really adds strectch to the plantar fascia in a way I find a stair doesn't (when you stretch on a stair you typically are not dorsiflexing the midfoot).

Yes, you just step above or below the top foot prints, depending on your height. It works for myself and kids. There are also free helpful step by step videos for this yoga mat on YouTube.

I do not tighten mine that much. When I hang upside down my feet do not touch the footrest.

Yes, I do use it almost on a daily basis depending on the shoes I wear. I still cannot put it on my toes.I was them by hand in mild,soapy water and let them air dry over night.

No, it uses velcro to hold the big toe in place. You can adjust the velcro to keep the big toe from bending more or less.
