Amazon.com Product Description:
Do you sometimes feel pounded, beaten, and jarred? Turn to this pair of Body Solid inversion boots, which allow you to quickly recover from compression fatigue caused by jogging, aerobic training, stepping, bicycling, and weight training. The boots, which attach to virtually any chin-up bar, suspend you in an inverted position to counteract the downward pull of gravity. Hanging upside down brings instant relief to many forms of back pain and spasms, which often stem from a consistent downward gravitation pull on the spine, discs, and muscles. In fact, just a few minutes a day in these boots can help spread apart painfully compressed discs.

The boots also help stretch your back, neck, and shoulder muscles, further increasing flexibility and reducing pain. Recommended by doctors nationwide, the inversion boots feature thick, contoured supports pads for comfort, along with heavy-duty, single-action locking mechanisms with built-in safety levers. And thanks to the extra pads that come with the boots, they'll fit almost any size user. The inversion boots are backed by a lifetime warranty.






Rating: - Good to Go!
The boots do what they're made to do. I'm 270lbs and they hold me up just fine. I use them twice a week for intense 30min ab workout and thus far(3 weeks) all is good. I will say that they do pinch in the front so I must use them with boots instead of sneakers and the pads had to be re-glued(super glue worked like a charm). I think a big part of that is because I'm so heavy. All that said; Great product and I'm happy.

Rating: - Very very painful
I found these boots to be extremely painful at the tops of my feet especially. It is crucial to be able to adjust the tightness of the boots, which this model lacks. Get the Teeter Hang Ups boots instead. Don't let the fact they are plastic deter you, they are incredibly safe and comfortable. They have straps to adjust tightness, the perfect type of foam, and are lightweight. I couldn't stand these boots for more than a min due to the severe pain, but with the Teeter Hang ups I can stay upside down for as long as I want. The only side effect is pins and needles, no pain.

Rating: - Don't hesitate over the price.
I thought the price too high but took a chance. The boots are extremely well crafted. I'm 225lbs and have no worry about them holding me up. The construction is more than sturdy and worth the price.

And, it works! I've done just a few minutes a day before and after a workout and my back feels great all day. Even felt a pull in my abs and upper leg muscles for an added stretch.

If you are my weight, it does cause minor discomfort on the feet but who cares. The pain relief is worth it.

My son and I did the recommended installation test . The bar held our combined weight of 425+ lbs. IMHO: It is designed and manufactured by people who really know what they are doing!

At the time of this post I am age 59. *I did* discuss using this equipment with my physician *before* I purchased it. You need to work up to being able to do at least one pull up before using this type of device with your gravity boots. Otherwise, I seriously doubt that you will be able to get the boots up over your head and hooked to the bar. I am using it just a little each day. So far I experienced a little strain on my shoulder joints and muscles and skipped a day using it to make sure that the soreness was not of a lasting nature.
