Therabody - JetBoots Prime - Ultra-Portable Wireless Compression Boots For Easy Leg Recovery - Regular - Black

I can’t not say enough good things about adding these boots into my half marathon recovery routine. I currently run 3 days a week, lift 4 days a week, and cycle once a week. I am also looking to maybe add in swimming and reduce a day of running. These boots have been a religious post workout recovery activity while winding down for the night. I appreciate the levels of intensity, ease of use, portability, and weight of the product. I can not complain about anything other than the price but you truly get such a quality product and it’s well worth the price tag. Between the Theragun Mini, the wave roller, and these boots… I must say these take the cake and I own all 3!

Love my jetboots ! So easy to use and the size I got fit perfect. Battery doesn’t last as long as I hoped for though. These have become my go to recovery tool after a run and workout.

Seems more and more people are talking about compression boots, so I was really looking forward to finally trying them out with these Therabody Jetboots Prime, and for multiple reasons. Both recovery for myself as well as for helping with overall circulation for both my wife and I. I got the medium, or regular size and they fit both me and my wife perfectly. For reference, I'm 6'2" and she's 5'10". Let's talk about recovery first as that's where I believe these boots are most beneficial. I play recreational ice hockey, which obviously involves a lot of skating, and thus, uses pretty much all of my leg muscles. I'm also not young anymore and in my late 40's, so after a hard skate my legs feel it. I will say that these boots feel absolutely AMAZING on sore legs. Recently I had an outdoor event that had me running around on my feet in hot weather for over 8 hours straight. To say I was exhausted is an understatement, and having used these boots for several days at that point, I honestly could not wait to slip these boots on and let them do their thing. It was practically instant relief. There are really three parts of the recovery to talk about here when using the Jetboots. First is while they're actively working. The compression and the stages of how the boots air up is basically akin to getting a massage. As already mentioned, you feel an instant relief, and I especially find it very relaxing and calming. Next, is immediately after using the Jetboots. Getting up and out of them, my legs feel relaxed and not as tight. Finally comes the following day, or morning after. I can't say I notice a huge difference, but as I've been skating for quite a while now, I don't usually experience much soreness the day after like I did when I first got back into it. That said, as it was immediately after use, I could still tell that my legs just felt a bit looser, and almost no soreness at all. I do also believe this isn't something you can just use once and immediately feel the effects, except for that instant relief I was talking about. This is something that I think becomes more beneficial the more you use it. For me, I use it almost every day, even though I'm only on the ice 2 days a week usually. It's actually something I look forward to everyday though too, because who doesn't like getting a massage? Besides recovery, I feel like it helps keep my legs loose and ready for the next time I step onto the ice. I can't say how much of that is psychological and how much is physical, but I'd bet there's a little bit of both, and either way, it gives just a little bit of a boost in confidence. Recovery and sports isn't the only time to use these boots though. As I said, my wife is also using these even though she doesn't participate in any sports. She has however, dealt with circulation issues in her legs as well as vericose veins. She used these every night as well right before I did. She couldn't quite pinpoint exactly how these boots were helping her, but she said they were helping her feel better nonetheless. It was enough that she still uses it and anytime she comes home after being on her feet for a while, she can't get these boots on fast enough. Another great thing about these boots is the adjustability, while also keeping it simple. Really you set the pressure level from just 4 different options, 25%, 50%, 75% or 100%. You can set the timer also but there's an indefinite option and you can always pause/stop anytime you want. This makes it perfect to switch between users. For my wife, she sets it to 50% and says anything higher starts to squeeze too much and hurts. For me, I normally stay at 75%, which feels perfect. These are also wireless so you can use them just about anywhere, and the carry bag it comes with is perfect to take on the road with you. As a family we often travel to theme parks, and I honestly can't wait to use these to see how they help after a full day of walking 12 or so miles all around the park. The portability makes that so much easier to do. As far as the battery life, between my wife using it at 50% and me at 75% for equal amounts of time, a full charge lasted 3 full hours of use. They're also easy to put on and remove, even by yourself. If I had to find one bad thing, it would just be how bulky the battery/pump/controller is. Given what it does though, this is more nit-picky than anything else and given what all it does, is to almost be expected. Overall I absolutely love these Jetboots and will continue to use them regularly and most especially after tough sessions on the ice.

I originally picked up this pair of regular size JetBoots for my wife. She’s 5’6” with a 30” inseam in pants. The size chart says these should be appropriate for an inseam between 29 and 34 inches so I thought that would be ok. They seem a bit long on her. It appears to be important that you’re able to get your foot fully into the foot chamber of the boot so it fits right when it inflates. I think it’s also important to note that I went by clothing measurements and I think you really need to use a measuring tape held loosely in your crotch down to your ankle bone to get the fit right like the diagram on the package shows. I’ll attach a picture of the diagram. Measuring my wife that way she’s a 28 which would put her in a small. So that was my mistake. I tried them on myself, I’m 6’4” and I wear a 34” inseam in dress pants, a 36” inseam in jeans, and I measure 32” from my crotch to my ankle bone measured loosely and these are right at the edge of being too long for me so the sizing on the package seems about right. The package states that if you’re in between sizes to pick the smaller size for the best fit. You don’t want the boots scrunched up in your crotch so shorter is better. That being said, I have used them myself all this week so I could write this review. I found them easy to use, you just power them on, set the duration and the pressure you’d like, and tap the start button. If you need to stop for any reason, tapping pause deflates the boots. I was able to get six 40 minutes sessions from a full charge so the battery life appears to be adequate. I will say these boots are HOT to wear. Even with the AC on, I need to run a fan when I’m using them. Luckily, they are easy to clean because they do get my legs sweaty. Probably be better when the weather cools off. As long as they are on right, I do find them extremely relaxing to use and usually fall asleep while they run. They’re not very loud, I can watch TV while they run and don’t need to turn the volume up. If I don’t get my feet in the boots correctly, it feels like it’s pressing in from both sides instead of the top and bottom and that’s not comfortable to me. If the zipper lines up on top of my foot like it shows in the instructions it’s usually correct. If it’s not comfortable I just tap the pause button during the first inflation cycle and the boots deflate so I can adjust them. Easy fix. There are four chambers in each leg and the boot inflates the feet first, then the calves, then the lower thighs, then the upper thighs. Then the whole boot deflates and the cycle starts over. As the calf and then the lower thigh chambers reach their set pressure, I feel like my legs are being gently stretched, elongated. I’m 56 years old and my job has me on my feet 8+ hours a day now, and my legs are worn out by the end of the day. Before using this device, I was sore in the morning and my legs felt tight until I had been at work a couple hours. I use these boots at night after dinner and by the third morning I noticed that I wasn’t sore any more. My legs definitely feel more energetic. I’m actually surprised at how much better I feel. They come with a 6.5 foot (2 meter) usb-c charge cord and a drawstring pouch to carry them. No charger is included, you can use the device while it is being charged if you use at least a 20 watt rated charger. Being wireless they can be used just about anywhere (they are NOT waterproof), and they don’t need any sort of app to work. The pressure can be set to either 25, 50, 75, or 100 mm/Hg and the time can be to 20, 40, 60 minutes or continuous. I haven’t felt a need to go higher than 75 mm/Hg on the pressure myself and I usually set it to run 40 min.

Having had a different brand single leg version for recovery from a surgery a while back, this is a surprising upgrade in direct comparison. No cables, no attaching hoses or finding the main unit. This is literally like a heavy pair of pants that will force circulation through your feet and legs. Then on top of that, the level of sound on this small device is hard to believe compared to the amount of pressure you get. With these Jstboots set all the way to 100, you are certainly going to feel it and it is louder letting the air out than the amount of time it is pumping it in. I have used these in bed and on the recliner while watching videos without having to make any adjustments to audio. As for storage and carrying, they are like a very heavily starched pair of pants with a small brick in the pocket. They are easy enough to fold away and put back into the carrying bag though. The inside is one surface, so it makes it really easy to wipe down if you were sweaty or just need to clean after so many uses. With a full battery charge you can get about 3 hours of use. Pending the time you use it for this could be 3 long sessions or several smaller ones. I can really feel a difference in my legs after each use. Like it pushed some of the stiffness and pain out, making my legs actually feel somewhat lighter. The only thing I wish this had was a better timer on them. As it is now you can set it in 20 minute intervals and it ticks down from 60/40/20 as you do a long session, but there is no indication of how much time you have left in that last 20 minutes. Overall, for a complete and fairly compact system, these are really impressive. Simple, wireless, and fairly quiet operation that makes a clear difference after use. It only comes confusing when I tell my friends I have Jetboots and they think I’ve gone space age.
