Me: 46 year old adult ballet dancer, 5'5" tall, 127 lbs. Many of the dance product reviews are written by adult dancers aged 18 to 18 25 which is great but I had to rate this product for over 40 members of the dance community! We exist too! Rschunimagu. Everything hurts, hurts for no reason, I put ibuprofen in everything I cook. Lol! I have in danced in the past but took a 25 year hiatus to raise kids, work etc. Now I'm back in business and my foot/ankle muscles aren't as flexible as they used to be.I have a low arch but my left foot is ridiculous!It's not uncommon for both feet/ankles to differ in strength, flexibility, etc. My right leg is dominant so it has excellent extension and flexion, but my l left leg doesn't bend well! HERE ARE MY GOALS with the stretcher: 1. Raise the arch of the foot (yellow arrow)2. Increase the flexibility of the muscles in the upper part of the foot to keep my arch looking nice (green arrow) 3. Stretch my Achilles tendon, which plays an important role in ankle flexibility. Point over the foot itself instead of curling the toes (blue arrow)4. Achieve a greater range of extension/flexibility with other leg muscles. Use a stretcher and you'll see what I mean (red arrow). I will use them for 30 days and post pictures of my progress. Let's see if this thing will help me achieve my goals. It's not a miracle product, and it's not designed for strengthening (you need other exercises for that), but so far the stretching is fine. I hope I can change my rating and give it 5 stars. Good product, comfortable, easy to use and you can really feel the muscles being stretched! I posted real photos, not photoshop, not pros. I also coded the date and color. hum? It's hard to know what to expect from ads that feature young adults or professional dance models in the description. I'm not young and I'm not a professional ballet dancer, although I'm pretty damn good for my 46 years! Rschunimagu. I hope this review helps other adults who are wondering if they can dance ballet with a lower arch / flat foot. YES YOU CAN! Yes, I'm an idiot and took the time to give this review from a different angle, but dance art is my thing. I'm coming back from the world of "Mom, Mom, Mom" and I need this thing's help! Let's see if this thing was worth the money!
