I have, but aside from the cost, I still think it is different to actually move part of your body to the rhythm. I don’t think it is a substitute.
Maybe I try toes again…

My experience is that foot tapping hurts my playing just as often as it helps me, so I just let it emerge naturally. This usually happens when I really find the groove in a song I know well.
Is there something specific in your playing that you think will benefit from foot tapping?
If not, I wouldn’t worry about it. In fact, I vaguely remember reading that classical teachers discourage students from tapping their feet…though I can’t remember why.
I’ve got one and I don’t think it’s a substitute. I feel you still have to connect with the pulse and tap your foot or wiggle a toe etc.
