Great 
2008-01-04
I've owned these for about 6 years now and I am totally happy with the money I spent. I use them a couple of times a week and I have to say they have helped me maintain great abs. They are comfortable and most importantly fun, which helps me stay motivated. The only negative I can think of is that they won't fit people with huge calves... not my problem, but some of my friends had trouble getting them on.
Very Valuable tool for Back pain (read method below.) 
2007-12-26
I tried a couple of inversion tables but found that they weren't very comfortable on my ankles. Note: It is important to only buckle these gravity boots as loosely as you can without slipping out of them for maximum comfort (transfers pressure off achiles tendon and onto heal bone.) You can use these gravity boots with some inversion tables, but If you have the strength/coordination you may find that hanging from a bar (teeters brand) allows for more options (more hip/body movement.) Scientific studies have shown that traction is of questionable benefit, so I never bothered to persue inversion as the mechanism at play is obviously traction. However, recently, after many many years of back pain, I've started a program of inversion. I find that out of all the things I have tried (of which there are a great many), the inversion is probably the most beneficial. It hasn't cured me by any means, but it has provided some improvement. I think one thing to stress is that it is not sufficient to simply invert and lay still. Rather, it is probably much more beneficial to alternately contract the abdominals in a way that shortens your spinal length by aprox an inch or two. As if you are trying to pull your belly button up into your pelvis. or pelvic bone down into your belly button, perhaps? Do this every five or ten seconds. Not only will this strengthen your abs, but it will also fatiuge your stabalizing muscels so as to more fully stretch the spine (the abs, if not fatiuged, probably limit the stretch, as they are trying to protect the spine and hold it in place.) Also, by contracting and relexing the abs, you are likely expanding and contracting the disc space, moving fluid around the connective tissue (which has no real blood vessels of thier own.) Lastly, by doing these contractions, you may in effect be loading and unloading the spinal ligaments, which might strengthen them the way a bicep is strengthened by contracting and relaxing through bicep curls. There are many people, myself included, who believe that weak ligaments are the primary culprit in many lower back problems (even if bad discs are present....ie, many people have bad discs without problems, as shown by MRI studies.) In my case I believe it is my Sacroiliac joint ligament (si joint dysfunction.) I'm quite convinced that my improvments are not placebo in origin, as I was quite pessimistic about trying this (due to studies on traction that had me convinced this was fairly futile.) In addition to the abdominal contractions, I'd also reccomend do full inverted situps, hula type hip rotations while inverted, try to stretch the front of your hips (flexors) while inverted, and also twisting and side bending motion. It is probable that all this motion and stretching while inverted ads flexibility and elasticity to the connective tissue as well as moves fluid around. I invert twice a day for ten minutes each time.
Great for your Ankles 2007-10-23
This is great if you have ankle pain when hanging these are what you need
They work, but they don't seem safe

The brace is this crappy plastic thing. It seems like it would be really easy for the brace to fail. But they work.
solid, comfortable, fun 2007-07-11
If you're looking for something different to do with your workout, and you have a strong chin-up station, try these boots. They're an investment at close to $100, but they are comfortable and sturdy, and they do seem to help nagging pains that might have been caused by spinal compression.
Invert Comfortably 2008-07-24
I got these along with the conversion bar for use with my teeter inversion table. I am getting over a broken foot so the stock method that the teeter inversion tables use just hurt my foot too much to use so I figured the boots were the way to go and so far Im not disappointed.
First off these things are very comfortable. Ive used a body-solid brand of boots and these are far more cushioned and comfortable than they were. The key is to get them adjusted right when you use them. They dont need to be tight at all, just snug and they are great. So for comfort they get an A+.
Ive seen reviews that say these boots don't fit larger than average lower legs. I really don't get this, I have decent sized calves and they fit easily. I cant imagine how bog your lower legs would have to be to make these too small but I will just point out that theres a 300lb weight limit on these and if they are too small you might want to check out the scale.
A few negatives. First off the things sort of feel cheap. They are just plastic and I guess to hang upside down Id of felt a little better to see some metal parts on there. The body-solid boots seem a lot more durable in that regard, the hooks and the fasteners are both metal and it gives more confidence in the durability. On these the hooks are plastic, the body is plastic, the fasteners, they just don't inspire a lot of confidence. I'm sure they will hold up because they aren't going to sell something that wouldn't but Id just say theres more durable options out there.
Overall I'm happy with them, they are comfortable enough to feel no discomfort while inverting and thats the idea. I use them with an inversion table with the conversion bar but I'm sure they are just as good with any of the bars they sell to hang on.
Great product. 2008-05-25
I use it to hang myself upside down to relieve back pain. It is really well built. Strong straps, paddings are thick and comfortable.
Great comfortable and fun 2008-05-21
I bought these boots with the Teeter inversion rack and they are both great. The boots are comfortable (keep your toes poiting towards the ceiling for more comfort).I've only had them 1 1/2 weeks so far but it makes my back feel so much better after inversion and inverted stretching and exercise. Also, having the bar fitted constantly encourages me to do pull-ups and other excercises spontaneously, without the hastle of going to the gym.
These boots are awesome!! 2008-04-06
This is exactly what I was looking for and they are perfect!! Thanks so much for great service!
It worth any cent ! ;-) 2008-01-08
Nothing negative to say about the product! I am using 3 or more times per week. You just need to sure about your Bar fixation to avoid broke your neck in the floor.
