Which Compression Boots Are Right for You?

If you’ve been thinking about investing in compression boots, it can get confusing fast: different pressures, chambers, battery options, and price points. This guide makes it simple so you can choose based on your goals, your routine, and where you recover.

What Actually Matters When Choosing

Pressure range (mmHg): the real power behind your boots. More range = more headroom for serious recovery.
Chambers & control: more chambers = more precise compression; chamber control lets you target or skip areas.
Power type: plug-in for continuous power vs. wireless for portability.
Comfort & coverage: legs only vs. full-body options (legs, hips, arms), boot length and circumference.
