Compression Boots

Compression boots use intermittent pneumatic pressure to flush fluid from the legs, reduce perceived fatigue, and accelerate recovery. Adjustable intensity and sequential chamber cycles allow hands-free, seated sessions after runs, rides, lifts, or travel. Compact setup fits home or gym spaces, while proper chair placement, outlet access, and hose management ensure safe, consistent use for daily recovery routines.

Compression boots provide hands-free, seated leg recovery with adjustable pressure and sequential compression for post-workout or travel use.

Compression Boots — Frequently Asked Questions

How do compression boots work?
They inflate chambers from foot to thigh in a sequence, applying graded pressure to help move fluid and reduce perceived heaviness.
How long should a session be?
Most users run 15–30 minutes. Shorter sessions (10–15) work well on busy days; extend to 30 on heavy training blocks.
What pressure should I use?
Start at a comfortable setting and increase gradually. Avoid numbness or pain. If toes tingle or go numb, reduce pressure or loosen the foot chamber.
How often can I use them?
Anywhere from 3–7× per week is common. Many athletes use boots after hard sessions and the day after.
Are they good before workouts?
Light, short sessions (10–15 min) can feel good pre-workout, but most users prefer boots after training or at day’s end.
Do compression boots replace active recovery?
They’re complementary. Keep walking, easy spins, mobility, and hydration; use boots to add a passive recovery boost.
What size boots should I buy?
Check the sizing chart on the product page. Height and inseam matter—boots should reach the upper thigh without bunching behind knees.
Can I target just one leg?
Yes—most systems let you run one leg or focus on certain chambers if needed. Follow your device’s manual.
Travel & team use tips?
Choose a portable controller and consider a battery pack if supported. Wipe liners between users and store the hoses coiled loosely.
Any safety or medical cautions?
Avoid use over acute injury, open wounds, or if you have conditions affected by limb pressure unless cleared by a clinician. Stop immediately if you feel pain, numbness, or dizziness.
How do I clean and maintain the boots?
Unplug first, wipe liners with mild soap solution, and air dry. Keep valves and zippers free of debris. Store loosely coiled to protect hoses.
What should I track to see benefits?
Log soreness ratings, leg “heaviness,” sleep quality, and readiness. Adjust session length/pressure based on your trend lines.
