 These things work! September 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought these about a year ago when I threw my back and was in bed for almost a week.
I found information about Vax-D Therapy where they put you on a modern day rack system to stretch your back. I was getting ready to schedule an appointment when I found other people saying to save your money and buy an inversion table.
The Vax-D was prohibitively expensive so I started looking into Inversion Tables. I was trying to figure out where to put an inversion table when I remembered the old "Gravity Boots" from the 1980's.
Space was an issue so I decided to try these boots instead of the table.
I ordered them shipped Next-Day because I was desperate.
I used them 3 times a day and the next day I already felt better. I felt so much better that I thought the boss would think that I made up the bad back story to miss some days at work.
In about 3 days I was almost back to normal.
Working a desk job, I really should use them every day and I only remember to use them when my back starts hurting again.
I don't use the "Removable calf loops" anymore, but they were great when my back was out, since I actually held on to them to pull myself back up.
This is not for the Faint-Hearted so people who whine about them not being safe should just buy an inversion bed. This would be much gentler for them and much easier to use too.
Don't let the plastic construction fool you. These things are very sturdy, very comfortable and very safe. -- I've never felt that they would give out, break or come loose on me.
I highly recommend buying the Inversion Rack -> Teeter Hang Ups EZ Up Inversion Rack
I kicked myself for getting it -- You don't want to go through the trouble of finding an alternative way to hang from when this you could've bought that rack in the first place.
I took the time to write this review because I'd like other back pain sufferers to know about this option that they can do at home at their own time.
Again, if you're not scared and you still have the stamina to pull yourself back up when you're done, these are Highly Recommended.
If you're scared, get an inversion table and save yourself the doctor or chiropractor bills.

The easiest way to cause retina damage. Seriously! My eye doctor and I were discussing workout stratgies and he said "Never do an inverted sit up where you're totally upside down unless you want to seriously damage yourself."
 Makes my fat hang the other way! August 17, 2008
These boots are great! They appear to be pretty well constructed and I have no concerns about the workmanship. They definitely take some getting used to and I highly recommend wearing thick socks and sneakers when first using them. I am now using them comfortably with just a pair of socks.
It is difficult to describe the effect these have on your back as it is subtle yet incredibly effective. Staying inverted in these for as little as five minutes right before bed is enough to guarantee waking up with no tension in my back.
A worthwhile investment in my opinion!
These are great! August 12, 2008
I got this brand because they sounded like they were the most comfortable, and they did not disappoint me. I am over 6'2 and 215 lbs and I was comfortable. (There is a listed max weight limit of 250lbs.)
It was a little freaky at first, but then enjoyable. I felt a great stretch in my hips and my spine really stretched out. Then I tried some exercise. I consider myself to have strong abs and I was only able to do 3 sets of five. I also threw in what they called reverse squats - oh my dog! I am going to have fun getting stronger with these.
I use them with my squat rack, though I the manufacturer says to only use with there products.
safe & reliable August 10, 2008
I give it a 5 because it is easy install on your ankles. very secure when snapped. I have tried the single clamp style made from metal & they are loose & uncomfertable. I recommend this product to all. the plastic used in these boots is a very high grade & the snaps also. Thank you. Jack
