The Best Compression Boots for Workout Recovery, According to Experts and Reviews
Dr. Sharkey recommends looking for compression boots that have adjustable pressure settings and ample sizing, whether that means they come in different sizes or have adjustable cuffs. It’s also important to pay attention to the number of air chambers within each boot, which determines the compression power you’re getting.
Skevis adds that the best compression boots operate on a peristaltic pattern, meaning they squeeze from the bottom up. “You also want to make sure the whole limbs is compressed, including the bottom of the foot. Some models have a flat foot base, which makes the treatment less effective,” he saysCompression boots are a form of massage therapy that deliver blood lacking oxygen and carrying waste back to the lungs, via the heart, where the waste is traded for oxygen, explains Skevis.
“Unlike a sports massage therapists hands, air compression therapy creates a complete circumferential strain around the limb, meaning no pressure is lost and fluid is shifted in an extremely efficient manner,” Skevis says. All of this results in a shorter post-workout recovery time, decreased swelling, and overall better circulation.“It depends on your goal,” says Skevis. “For general health maintenance and relaxation, use them any time you like.
Dr. Sharkey says compression boots are not recommended for those with organ failure, arterial insufficiency, peripheral vascular disease, or those who are prone to blood clots.
