The 8 Best Compression Boots For Recovery, According to PS Editors and Reviews

Hyperice Normatec Elite ($999)

Our PS editor tried these compression boots while getting back into long-distance running. "Aches were alleviated — not gone completely, but definitely reduced," she says in her full review. "Even though I was expanding the duration of my runs pretty aggressively during the month, I didn't get injured. I can't give the boots all the credit, but I suspect they may have helped." The Normatec Elite boots feature seven different levels of compression, which Farrell describes as a "tight squeeze pulsating up your leg; it's relaxing and firm, but not painful." They're also lightweight (at only 3.2 pounds per boot), and have an impressive four-hour battery life. Not to mention, you don't have to bother with pesky wires and hoses.
