I ordered this for my sister-in-law for Christmas because I thought it was funny and clever (and because honestly, who needs another pair of slippers?). My brother reports that she LOVED it, and the whole family got a real kick out of reading everything on the packaging. The packaging? I've never seen it. But I'll take that as an added feature of the product. :)

If you love rails...get it. If you think they're repetitive and boring and prefer snowboarding that occurs on a mountain, this may not be for you.

This was a Christmas gift for my Grandson who is 16. After he opened the package, he ran to the DVD player and all of us watched it. Exiting stuff. Later in the day some of his friends came over and Black Winter was watched again--several times. The following day saw all the guys heading to the mountains with their boards. This DVD was a big hit, as was Grandma.

Nice product for the price. Easily adjusts, provides firm support for "bigger" people. Rubber tips. Has a really nice informational CD-a workout to do and good instruction on technique.If I get a body like this instructor, I'll be really happy!

I got these for my 86 y o mom to help keep her steady on her walks. The telescoping poles are sturdy and lock-in securely, and the price is half of what I saw anywhere else.

For a pair of adjustable walking poles with an informational DVD the Gaiam Walking Poles Kit are a great deal! I had bought them for my power walking grandma after taking a fitness class that highlighted their benefits. Walking with poles is great for posture, stamina and really works the arms. I was excited to purchase this item but the first one I recieved had a broken foot so I had to return it. Luckily, Amazon has a great return policy and I was shipped a new one immediately. This pair of poles was intact except the wrist strap on one of the poles came off. I offered to return it for my grandma but she said that she would have removed the straps anyways so it worked out well in our favor. I hope that my bad luck in getting broken poles is just a fluke, not a standard in the product. Happy Walking!

I didn't want to spend a lot before I knew if I liked the walking sticks. Luckily, my husband was willing to take these and let me buy the Lekis. These are noisy while walking and heavier than the Lekis. I probably wouldn't keep using them, but I LOVE the Lekis, except I do like the larger grip on the Gaiam poles.

I got these boots and had lots of space in the back. They feel like a size big. Also, the elastic on the top of the boot is really tight. It will cut off your circulation if you aren't skinny. I'm far from fat, 5'9 and 130lbs and they were really tight. Skinny legs only. Cute though.

As mentioned in another review for the same umbrella in red, this is the worst umbrella I have ever used and the most dangerous. I purchased two of these from Costco for $19.99 each, which is irrelevant, since, after reading this review, you should not purchase these. Firstly, I have used both of these umbrellas four times this summer, and they both had severe quality issues. The problem they both had in common is they are lightweight aluminum and are vented at the top inadequately, which caused both of these umbrellas, with their pointed ends, to repeatedly go flying across the beach numerous times, getting very close to hurting many people, including young children. In addition, Umbrella No. 1's lever for securing itself to the implanted pole is very cheaply manufactured and no longer works; therefore, the umbrella slides up and down and you are not able to adjust its height. Umbrella No. 2's seams ripped at the top of the umbrella, so there is a large gaping hole there. In addition to this, the allen screw, which attaches the angle adjustment to the pole, popped out, making it impossible to slide the umbrella down on its shaft and leave the beach with it until we found someone on the beach with an allen wrench. A total nightmare! We have used many umbrellas over the years, since we have a house close to the beach, and this is, by far, the worst and most dangerous umbrella we have used. It will ruin your beach experience!
