How do the foot holders feel when inverted?

For me, the foot holders need more padding than what's provided. I use some extra foam squares and hand towels folded over. That works well for me in my 15-20 minutes that I'm inverted.

I'm not going to lie, not super comfy. What I did was take a pair of Thick, Fleece slipper socks...... I cut the ends off and slipped them over the ankle bars. It was a big help. Over-all, I still rate this a VERY nice inversion table.

they are not too bad. rub a little bit on the front, but its a pretty comfortable machine.

If they are set properly to your feet, it is very comfortable. When I first got it I didn't have it set tight enough and it hurt the upper part of my foot. Properly set you can use this barefooted.

Not the most comfortable that's for sure. Hence the reason it's one of the more affordable tables. Get one that locks around your ankles if in your price range.

No. Ours were fine. In fact, my husband's using the Inversion boots right now and loves them.

You shouldn't have any problem with it moving. Mine doesn't. It is very comfortable. I'm glad I got them!

Yes, definitely! You can just flip it around and it does not feel different or uncomfortable at all. I am so so happy with this buy. Cheap, but not cheaply made. It is very helpful. = )

not sure. i wasn't the biggest fan of this product. it squeezes the bottom of your foot and is kind of uncomfortable.

The first thing you need to do is set how far the foot rest is from the table. Since I am about 6'2" I usa it at 6'1" and it is pretty well balanced. When I lean back onto the back rest it will be almost perfectly balanced. From there, you just need to pull a slight amount on the hand rest and it will invert for me. You may need to use a different setting because of your body distribution of weight. Also, the first few times I used it it was "weird" to feel yourself being turned upside down. You will get a blood rush to your head, but it will not bother you once you use it a few times. This is how it worked for me, I hope you have as good luck as I did. I really like this thing,,,,,,,I hope this helps. Jim The first thing you need to do is set how far the foot rest is from the table.

I can tell you that I'm a big boy (5'9", 250lb) and it fits me comfortably. In fact I have never even considered this issue during my use. As for comfort, I choose to use it at the mid-range rather than fully inverted because of the stress it puts on my feet. 250lb is a lot to have pulling on your feet. However, I am sure that if/when I lose this extra weight I will probably be able to use it fully inverted without discomfort. And I do find it to be beneficial despite not using it fully inverted but of course each person's experience may be different. In my case I have 2 herniated discs which is why I use this apparatus. I hope this info helps you. I can tell you that I'm a big boy (5'9", 250lb) and it fits me comfortably. In fact I have never even considered this issue during my use.

Axial (sideways) freedom of movement once your shoes are clipped in. You will appreciate it!

I think it is weight based. My husband is able to completely invert. He is 5'10" and 165#. I am unable to completely invert. I am 5'4" and 110#. I can get about 85% inverted.

I pull myself up to a horizontal position using the large handles and then sit up from there. I do not invert to a vertical position. When inverted my head is at about eight o'clock. This works well for me and it is easy to return to the sitting position by using the handles.

Not really. I weigh about 125 lbs and don't believe someone much heavier would feel secure on them. I use on a padded/carpeted floor which may be part of the problem. Also there is a plastic part that is supposed to be at the lower edge of the upper/outer pedestal tube and stay between the 2 tubes. This part has often slid down and I have to re-insert it into the upper tube. Also the foot rest is too high in relation to the seat, so my legs feel too bent.

The backing is not memory foam, but is firm. Actually, the foam serves little purpose. When you are inverted, most of your weight is in your ankles and feet. You don't feel the foam cushion until you are more horizontal.

No, in fact the footrest is level with the front edge of the seat cushion. I have the same problem so what I did was mount the footrest upside down, it was too close to the seat cushion for long legged people, then cut a piece of plywood to fit the shape of the footrest and mounted it with screws to extend the footrest outward.

I feel like mine has become a fair bit softer in certain spots that are more laid in. The foot end is still pretty stiff but the upper end where we normally sleep sinks in deeper than I like. We've had ours for 2 years now and flipped it once. Not over though just around so the foot end becomes the head end. I actually came to the page today to see if the warranty covers this... sadly it doesn't look like it does.

I'm 220#'s and it will do this, complete upside down, for me. I don't use that position very often but it is there. Mike C.

Don't know, Mine does not, I tighten it securely when locking feet in seems to put less stress on my ankles. Maybe you have angle problems of some kind because My ankles don't bother me weather tight or loose on feet lock. Sorry

I might be the only one with issues in this regard. I am a short and heavy woman. My legs are pretty thick. So, when I snap myself in, I make it as tight as I can but once I invert myself, I slide down and almost fall out because at that point its by my ankles, which are small. my husband had to "save" my life mid air.
