These are dangerous!!! 😝 I say that with a smiley because these do exactly what they were designed to do. I nearly did a full-split before I caught myself on a nearby door jamb! I wanted a way to do extreme leg stretching and core exercises and these not only work but work well. I strongly suggest that before first use and until you get used to them you keep a grab bar, chair or even a door jamb handy. They are very comfortable and I will disclose that they make a slight "popping noise" when you step on them. When this happened the first time I put my foot on one I thought I had cracked it. This is not the case, it just makes the noise because the bottom (hard) pad is concave to allow better sliding and when you step on it it pops flat with a noise. No worse than the clang of a barbell or the clunk of a kettle bell. Yeah, I know, a kettle bell should clang 😄 Unless you are doing meditative yoga poses with these I doubt you will find the popping distractive. These are made for use on carpet. They work great on our oriental rugs at the house, any tight weave or pad type carpet will work fine. They may work on other surfaces, but I would be concerned about scratching. A blanket on a hard floor would probably work as well as carpet. Again, comfortable and functional, a good value for the price. If you are trying certain core exercises or leg stretches without these I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the extent they bring to your movement. Read more
Just like what is used at physical therapy. Works great. Worth buying. Read more
Amazing, so easy to use and perfect for acl/meniscus recovery. Slides Great on the rug. Read more
These sliders are pretty ingenious. They are light weight and functional. The few clips on YouTube show 10+ ways to use them on carpeted floor. I find no difficulty sliding on carpet (area rug and industrial grade at work). I don't know if they work on grass. Will give them a try this weekend. I don't have hardwood therefore I am not sure if using them on hardwood would be ideal. Hardwood there should be no problem sliding without them wearing socks anyway. BTW, I can use one as a pirouette turn board. It seems to be a decent substitute (that can withstand adult weight). Read more
These knee slides were really great in protecting my knees while installing my vinyl plank flooring. I could easily slide around without scratching the floor. Read more
These things are awesome. Exactly what the PT has. Super slidey on the carpet for. Pretty much everything you want for slider lunges. Read more
These sliders are fun, effective - and I love them. I googled Valslide workouts - got my ideas from there, and my Tumbl Traks have added a new dimension to my training! There are a variety of things you can do with these - I've done lunges, pushups, crawls across the gym... I have not had any problem whatsoever with damage from use. I read a review that mentioned a cracking noise when the person stepped on them. I haven't had that problem, or any problem with them, and I think they're well made. If you're in the market for Valslides, these are a less expensive option worth the purchase. Read more
