I injured my calves. I've use the step a lot since with no injuries, but I vary my workouts now.
I think the important thing is to listen to your body. You start getting tighness or increasing soreness...that a sign.

My experience was similar to Msladybug, I did step every day back in the day (late 80's early 90's), developed some plantar fasciitis that basically took me out of exercising for months at a time. Now I know better to vary my workouts from day to day and no more problems.
