gravity boots
Hang upside-down shoes
Gravity boots are ankle supports that allow a person to hang upside down from a horizontal bar, used for inverted exercises or spinal decompression.
The boots hook over the bar, suspending the wearer by the ankles: He strapped on his gravity boots for his daily inversion routine.
They gained popularity in the 1980s as fitness equipment.
