Gets the job done.
These squat wedges work perfectly. They have little rubber stoppers on the bottom to prevent them from sliding on a wooden surface. Not sure how long the stoppers will last, time will tell.The wedges themselves are made of steel, so they should stand up for a significant amount of time. Well made.

The best slantboard I've used!
I'm a trainer and nutrition coach, so having a large array of equipment and supplements is one of my responsibilities (aka Perks 😁).That said, in addition to the Double Circle Squat Wedge, I also have the OG Slantboard Guy wooden board, and the Mr Inf1nity adjustable metal board.These wedges are hands down the best ones. They're well built and have good grip if kept dry (some very inexpensive grip tape goes a long way if you find yourself slipping due to excessive sweat).Additionally, simply having the ability to change the width and the placement of the wedges allows for so many more squat and lunge variations. Sometimes, the one-piece boards are too narrow to comfortably go heavier or they just don't allow for any external rotation of your feet and ankles, which many people need to do for a comfortable squat.These are exactly what I've been looking for, and without being overcharged due to current fads or product hype.Lastly, you have the option of getting a 3-YEAR warranty for free when you receive them.The Double Circle family really knocked this out of the park. I highly recommend these over any of the other options available.

Excellent Squat Wedges....with Some Slight Modifications
I've never been able to get much past parallel on squats, despite working on my mobility, but these 20 degree wedges, along with a safety squat bar, have finally allowed me to hit full depth which is fantastic. It has required me to take 40KG off the bar as I'm obviously going to be pretty weak in that previously unexplored bottom position, but I just see that as taking 1 step back in the short term in order to take 2 steps forward in the long term.As others have said, these squat wedges are super strong steel, are very well put together and will essentially last you a lifetime. They're obviously heavier than rubber wedges, but still light enough to carry to the gym in your bag if needs be (as I do). They're pretty much large enough to accommodate any size of foot, I'm a men's size 9 UK / 9.5 US / 43 EU and my entire foot fits on each wedge with plenty of room to spare.My only criticism of these, and others have a echoed this, is a grip issue. If you're using these on carpet or rubber gym flooring with decent, dry trainers you should fine. There are however 2 scenarios where they aren't great:1. If your shoes aren't completely dry. If you wear your gym shoes for the journey to the gym, as most people seem to these days, then they are going to have wet soles from time to time. This doesn't work well with the steel chequer plate of these squat wedges (steel chequer plate is notorious for being slippery when wet).2. If you are using these on wooden floors, the only grip you have is from the two rubber stoppers on the underside at the back. I tested stepping on the wedges at home on the laminate floor in my kitchen and they shifted straight away. As all the squat platforms at my gym are wooden, I really didn't fancy attempting that with a fully loaded barbell on my back!However, as these wedges are perfect in every other way, I wasn't deterred and decided to improve them! I've included what I did below in case anyone else wants to do the same.Firstly, I removed the rubber stoppers from the bottom. Not only do they not help on wood, but they're only going to last so long, so relying on them seemed somewhat pointless.I then bought some "Conformable Anti Slip Tread Cleats Pre Cut Tiles 150mm x 610mm" from Slips Away's web site. I won't include the link as Amazon don't like that, but if you Google it you'll find it. Make sure you get the "conformable" version (as there are 2 version) as they have an aluminium backing that allows them to conform to the contours of the steel chequer plate without lifting over time. These cost about £10 each at the time of writing, and you'll need 2 of them, one for each wedge.I then wiped the wedges down with 99% isopropyl alcohol to make sure they were free of grease and dirt, and applied the cleats.As you can see from the pictures, I started a good inch under the front lip, so that the cleat would grip to the wooden floor as well as my feet, and then wrapped around the front and went all the way up the wedge, over the top and down the back (covering the handle hole) and under the bottom to replace the grip provided by the rubber stoppers. I then cut the tile, leaving about an inch hanging off the edge, and then wrapped that inch of excess underneath, inside the wedge, so that the end of the cleat was inside the back structure of the wedge. I figured that cutting it exactly at the edge wasn't a great idea as that would likely start to come away in time due to friction with the floor.I then used a knife to slice horizontally through the tape in the centre of where the handle hole is, and then pushed the excess tape through the hole at the top and bottom and sides of it, wrapping it around to the inside and sticking it down there.Note that I found it best to remove the backing of the tape gradually as I went along, smoothing it down with a 2.5 inch roller presser as I went. You can get a roller presser from Slips Away for a tenner, but you can get them on Amazon too (and they look identical to me). Finally when done, give it all a good going over again with the roller presser. I did use some edge sealer at the edges of the grip tape too, but honestly I don't think that's required as the tape stick amazingly well. I just used it as I already had it.After doing the above, which took about 15 minutes, the wedges are now perfect in terms of grip. The platforms provide amazing grip for wet or dry shoes, and the grip tape wrapped underneath the front and rear means that they now grip to any floor surface, including wood.The only downside with the above was that I found it quite unpleasant to lift the wedges using the handle holes as the grip tape is REALLY abrasive and can scratch your hands up somewhat, especially your knuckles! To prevent this, I covered all of the grip tape at the back with 3M Super Duty 48mm wide black duct tape (available on Amazon, although I'm sure any decent duct tape would do - Super Duty is expensive!), making sure to wrap it into the insides of the carry holes. This has now resolved the issue and since the back edge doesn't come in contact with shoes or the floor it doesn't affect the grip. Again, you can see the duct tape applied to the back in the attached pictures.So, although I now have the world's best squat wedges that will last me forever, I had to knock a star off due to the extra time, money and effort required to get there.
