Patents aside, it would be an interesting challenge to improve on the concept and keep it reasonably priced. It's tough to do better than a floor jack and stands.

TIL That is it a tad creepy when your wife goes into the Subaru dealer to get her car coated and the service manager sends her a picture of your Toyota from before it was yours!

Nah, this is classic "designed by engineers" design. I honestly think the intent is to leave them on the floor and shove them together in the middle under the car when not in use. Pull them out when needed.

I never lift mine - use the wheels or just drag that shit along the floor. I can't leave them down since I have to use them about 2' over from where I park (since I leave no space between the car and the kayaks).

That makes sense. Mine lean against the garage wall so I don't have to lift them twice. By 'lifting,' I mean lifting one end to roll it.

Weight of footwear is based on a single item, not a pair.

Is that $1,095 for one shoe?
