SEWD Non-Slip Squat Wedge Block

Overview

SEWD's squat wedge is a foam slant board meant to sit under the heels during squats, shifting weight forward for lifters working on ankle mobility or a more upright torso position. At 0.2 kilograms it is light enough to toss in a gym bag.

Made from EVA foam rather than wood or plastic, the wedge is built to be gripped underfoot rather than to bear barbell loads directly through its edges. No incline angle or weight rating is listed, so it reads as an accessory for bodyweight or lighter squat work rather than a heavy loading platform.

• EVA foam construction
• 0.2 kg lightweight design
• Black colorway
• Non-slip surface

Who it's for

Fits lifters with limited ankle dorsiflexion who want heels elevated for squats, or anyone using it as a calf and ankle stretcher. Less useful for lifters who already squat comfortably flat footed.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The wedge angle changes how weight distributes through the foot during a squat, moving load toward the front of the foot and knee rather than the heel. EVA foam gives some cushioning underfoot but its firmness under heavy load is not detailed in the listing.
