Two-Pound Gravity Boots Instead of an Inversion Table

An inversion table is furniture: a frame that needs its own patch of floor. These are a pair of boots, two pounds each, that hook over a bar and give you a full inversion wherever the bar is, at home or at the gym, for a spinal stretch or for inverted abdominal work and squats. The hook is glass-filled nylon two and a half inches deep, lined with non-skid where it meets the bar; each boot closes with two self-locking buckles over a foam liner five eighths of an inch thick, with removable calf loops that put a slight bend in the knee, and it is rated to three hundred pounds with a five-year warranty.

The catch every product here has oneBuyers split on getting into the hang and back out of it: some find it easy and secure, others struggle to hook on and to come back down, and you are upside down by your ankles while you work it out. You also need a bar to hang from, no thicker than an inch and a quarter, and a calf over about sixteen inches around means the XL, which comes without the calf loops, so measure the bar, and your calf, before you order. And they cost a good deal more than the cheaper pairs that turn up on the same search, which is the other thing buyers split on.

Buyers report

Buyers report the boots as well made and sturdy, and say they work for pain relief, stretching the lower and upper back in particular. Reports split on stability and ease of use: some find them secure and easy, others have trouble getting into and out of the hanging position. Buyers also disagree on value, with some calling them worth it and others calling them expensive.
