Hiya, not sure where specifically you are looking for a stretch, but have you tried doing a gentle heel drop from a step? Remember that tendons need longer than muscles to stretch so a gentle one for 2-3 mins is good. That said I’m no expert and someone will get along soon with better advice!!!

YouTube is your friend - lots and lots of videos on there.

There are many exercises out there but one of the simplest is to stand with just your toes/forefoot on a step and raise and lower yourself several times using just your lower leg and foot muscles.
Another unconventional one is to pick up small objects with just your toes.
Not what you're looking for?
