Calf loops are an optional feature designed to place a 2° bend in the knees (Figure 1), helping to reduce loads on
the ankles and prevent the front edge of the boot from placing uncomfortable pressure on the tops of your feet.
Calf Loops only accompany the standard size Gravity Boots, as the extra height of the XL Gravity Boots provide the
same function during inversion.
To Attach Calf Loops
Insert the base of the Calf Loop into the Calf Loop slot (Figure 2A). Make sure you hear the Calf Loop snap into
place for secure attachment. Repeat on other boot.
To Detach Calf Loops
Press your finger onto the Calf Loop Release Tab to disengage from the slot (Figure 2B).

Prior to Inverting
Employ the method of
“HEAR, FEEL, SEE, TEST”
every time prior to inverting with the Gravity Boots:
HEAR
the strap locks on the Gravity Boots click into place.
FEEL
that the Gravity Boots are snug and close-fitting around the smallest part of the ankles.
SEE
that the buckles are secured.
TEST
the Gravity Boots: Ensure they are snug, close-fitting and secure by holding onto the calf loop or top of the Gravity Boot
and wiggling and attempting to pull your feet through the Gravity Boots. Ensure that you
CANNOT
slide free from the Gravity
Boots each time before attempting to invert.
WARNING
Calf Loop Slot
FAILURE TO PROPERLY SECURE THE ANKLES COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!
ALWAYS
check that the Gravity Boot straps are fully engaged in the strap locks in a setting that brings the
Gravity Boots to a snug, close fit around the smallest part of the ankles.
ALWAYS
wear securely tied, lace-up
shoes with a flat sole, such as a tennis shoe.
DO NOT
wear shoes with thick soles, boots, high-tops or any shoe
that extends above the anklebone, as this type of footwear could interfere with properly securing your ankles.
ALWAYS
secure the Boots the correct corresponding leg, the Right Boot is marked as Right,
so that the buckle levers are on the backside of the leg.
