Customer Ratings & Reviews

As an avid runner and biker at 51, recovery is difficult and my legs can feel heavy and sore after a workout. These Hyperice recovery boots provide a real recovery tool. They are comfortable to wear and will fit snugly once you get the compression settings how you want them. They are quiet and are easy to wear when relaxing after a hard workout. I also use them to warm up before a run when my legs are needing some additional work before heading out. The areas of my legs that have most issues are my calves and hamstrings. These boots have multiple settings to focus on specific areas to provide levels of compression right for the recovery you need. The Zone Boots feature is great when you want to focus on a particular area on a session by session basis. The boots also connect to the Hyperice app on your phone via Bluetooth to provide additional settings and management of your sessions. I have found this very useful when using the boots to manage my recovery. If you are active and find your legs need a bit more of a recovery boost, I would highly recommend these for your recovery plans.

As someone who only quite recently learned of and experienced the benefits of compression therapy, I was excited to give these a try. After some time with them, I can definitely say they have been good for me. Just a quick bit about my situation. I am recently back from a knee injury. Prior, and currently, my main exercise has been cardio work. Running inside and out, rowing, and quite a bit of stationary biking. Frankly, it has been a bit of a struggle getting back to my pre-injury state. Being out for an extended period of time and trying to find the “right” mix of activity, work, rest, and recovery has been difficult. Further complicating things, my job requires me to be on my feet, all day, for roughly 55 hours a week. To be blunt about it, through the use of this system/boots, I have reduced stiffness, soreness, and weakness in my legs and am also seeing less pain and stiffness in my recovered knee. Further, I know this is not a metric, but it just makes my legs feel better. Feel good. This has helped me. Period. As for the system itself, everything is built well and has a good “feel.” It is easy to clean (my legs DID sweat), and the entire set is “small enough” and is a nice light weight. The cables and connectors are robust, and I think they will last over time. The “head” or base unit has a nice clean look, with easy to read and understand markings, again, a nice weight, and responsive buttons. All in all, I have no complaints with the hardware. That said, while I do appreciate the system is “small enough” to pack up, as well that it is TSA approved for travel, and that they do offer a Backpack (for $150), I do think for the price, a bag of some sort should be included. It would have been a nice add. Setup is quick. Easy. It is a rather simple process that is not much more than opening the app (which I did find to be a finnicky…at first) charging up, attaching a few cables, and putting the boots on. That is about it. I would say, given the nature of the product, you should take things slow and get a feel for the system for a bit first. Familiarize yourself a little, then see how it can benefit you. As is often the case, no matter how “good” a thing may be, if you do not use it, it is more or less rendered “not good.” I tend to suffer from this problem. A lot. Here, not so much. This is easy to use. The process from start to finish is pretty quick. It is comfortable. It isn’t loud. There is a nice amount of customization (5 various zones, pressure, time, quite a few routines/programs, 1 leg, 2 legs, etc…). Lastly, it just works. They have done a great job of removing obstacles, reasons, or simply excuses not to use them. At least for me. In the end, as I stated from the beginning, I really like this system. It works for me. The day after workouts, and even simply after my long days at work, my legs simply feel better. Frankly, they feel better during and right after use. This is a bit of an investment (but I do think the price is more than competitive in the space), but for the convenience, improved physical (and mental) well-being, and a better overall quality of life, it is worth it to me. I think many would feel the same.

Really enjoying my Hyperice Normatec 3, the first time I tried them to to get a feel for them was after a long day of sitting at my desk all day at work it was amazing, I charged the battery so it was ready my the end of my day need to charge for 5 hours before use, it’s a quick and easy set up connect the house to the controller then to the boots the controller has different setting for pressure for a light pressure to strong & you can choose what you need/want to massage from feet, calf’s, thighs, it has timer settings 15mins- 60 mins, I started at 35 mins I felt that was enough you can adjust the timer & pressure setting even while I’m use. I felt more comfortable & relaxed while using it laying down rather then sitting up, after sitting all day at work I noticed it helped reduce some minor swelling I had in my ankles, feet. I then decided a couple days later to try both before and after my bike ride I noticed I was definitely less sore. You can also purchase sleeves for your arms and shorts style for your hips, each body part can only be used separately so legs, arms or hips I’m looking into those next. Also you can down load their app to learn more about which setting to use enter some of your activities and it will make recommendations for you, you can also connect it via Bluetooth to your phone & connect your work out apps such as apple health & it will track you activities. I highly recommend for people who need recover help.

The Normatec 3 is surprisingly amazing! I never knew I needed one of these in my own home but it is definitely worth it, especially if you are an athlete or you work out often. I have used former versions of the Normatec at day spas, which I did enjoy. However, I am loving the multitude of the setting options of the 3. The application on my iPhone is easy to use and has many, many pre-set routines which helps me be able to choose the right settings for what I need at the time. I have several lower body aches and pains due to both old and new injuries. I run and lift weights almost daily and the Normatec 3 is life-changing for pre-workout warmup and post-workout recovery. I have been using it every day for a week now and I can say that it definitely has made a huge difference in how my legs feel during workouts and after. I love having one of these at home because it would cost me $30 or more each time I went to a spa to use one. I would absolutely look into purchasing both the hip and arm attachments. I have used those at spas as well and they are definitely worth it!

Normatec makes a high quality product! From the materials to the mechanics and how well they complete the task at hand, all the way down to their app and all of the precise customization's to really make the boots work best for each individual wearer. They're easy to get into and comfortable to wear on top of that. A lot of people and athletes use these for muscle recovery after working out or running. I am a paraplegic and love using these for compression to help with muscle spasms and circulation as well as swelling. It works especially well as if I'm receiving a deep massage and in turn really assists me with decreasing the spasms I have with my legs and with being in a chair all day my feet and calves tend to swell so putting these on and having the ability of selecting where at on the boot whether it be the upper part.. mid .. or lower, you can turn up or down the compression specifically where it's wanted or needed. The control module allows you to pick attachment selection, Pressure level from 1-7, and Zone Boost from zone 1- 5. Also giving you an led timer as well as a simple start and stop button giving you quick and simple control at your fingertips. If you really want to get specific you can go into their convenient app and really pin point how you want the boots to work for you! I'd highly recommend these to others

I was excited to try this system as I have heard so much about the benefits of this type of therapy for years. Once I received it and took it out of the box, I was extremally impressed with the quality of this product. Its top notch and you can tell from the packaging! Out of the box it was super simple to setup. I plugged it in and let it charge overnight... Once all charge up, I connected the 2 leg sleeves to the hose and voila! Done. It was ready to go! I used it after I got home from my workout and run and I truly enjoyed it! It felt refreshing, and almost massage like... My wife and kids also finally got their chance to try it out, my wife used the "Post workout recovery" 45 minute program after her run and gave it 5 stars! She said she woke up the next day and her legs felt significantly better than they did without using this, and she felt more refreshed. My kids have used the same program after their sports practices and conditioning sessions and love it... they sit in the recliner or in their beds with the legs sleeves on and relax while this works its magic! You can download the app and run this on Bluetooth, or just plug it in and hit the button! I like to use the app as I can customize everything about it... I can work different zones, increase/decrease of pressure, increase/decrease time, run specific programs, etc. I love this, and someone in my house has used it every day for 2 weeks! Battery life has been impressive. We were able to get over 3 sessions (45 min each) on its first charge! Not too bad! Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this product to anyone who consistently works out or trains, even kids!

Great for recovery from your workout. Also good to use before working out.

Loving these boots! I feel like it cuts down my soreness significantly. So relaxing I fall asleep half way through. Don’t bother going to a business paying $30 a session, just buy them for yourself.

I used this for a couple of weeks so far and it is awesome. I run, bike, and do resistance training and this has been a great help for recuperation. I use the lowest setting for warm up before resistance work and runs, then use the low-mid settings for post work out. I had heard good things but I am a skeptic - this did what I needed! I don't feel nearly as much stiffness now after a couple of weeks use and this is a huge benefit for me having had knee issues. The packaging and quality was good and set-up was clear and easy to follow. the cabling and control is a bit cumbersome the first few times until you figure out where you are going to use it and how to lay it out. It is a bit strange to look down and see balloon legs the first time and I was a bit nervous as it pressured up the very first time, but now I am comfortable with it. Uninflated, you can slip on the legs pretty easy, but if you are doing a lot of quad work, you have the option to zip out/in as well. I found the app easy to install. storage is good as well since the packaging is nice looking and roomy enough to pack and unpack and store again. I also tried it in a back pack I have and was able to get it all in there so it should travel well also.

Pro: -Help muscle soreness -Battery life -Includes different plug adapters for international outlets Con: -May not fit well if you’re on either end of the size range -Leave marks on your legs -Expensive Does it work? In my experience with it so far, it does help soften muscles and keeps them loose. How it works is that each side has five zones which fill up with air, massaging and increasing blood flow to your legs. This will supposedly help the muscles recover faster. The set includes the two leggings, a pump, hose, and charging cable with different plug adapters for international outlets. This is the standard size, for people between 5’4” to 6’3”, but if you’re on the shorter range, this may not fit well. I’m short and this fits about 6” too high reaching all the way to my pelvis. The excess length bunches up and the squeezing can get uncomfortable. However, I let my friend, who is about the same height, use it and he said he didn’t have any issues. The inside of the leggings has folds and creases which will leave marks on your legs. After each session, my legs look like they're covered in vines. The battery life is good. Full charge can last about 6 sessions, with each session lasting about 25-45 minutes. It takes about 5 hours to recharge. Manually, the pump lets you set the timer, pressure level, and boost the five zones. You’ll need the Hyperice app, which connects with bluetooth, to get the full use of it. The app has presets for different routines, such as Pre/Post Workout Recovery, Long Day Unwind, or Promote Sleep. During each session, you can adjust the pressure or boost each zone. Each routine targets different zones. The Promote Sleep routine, for instance, squeeze your feet more, while Post Recovery goes in sequence from your feet to your thighs. It’s somewhat difficult to say how well this works. I’d imagine those that really work their muscles will see more benefit, but this can help those that are on their feet all day. It’s like a massage to keep the muscle loose and help soreness. Be sure to check the sizes and go for the size you’re in the middle of the range.

Normatec compression sleeves are worth every Penny that I paid for them! There’s nothing better after a long day on my feet than having this therapy!

I got the standard size and it feels small for me. I’m 6’

I've been spending money going to a local business for leg compression. When I saw these were available to the public I bought them immediately. In six months they will have paid for themselves and this system works. Trust me, if your legs are sore from over use or the gym. this will help big time!

Reviews are annoying but I will say, I love this device. It works. It feels incredible. If it lasts, it’s 100% worth the investment.

Very satisfying results. I use it once every 3 days my constant pain is now gone.

Very good product! I use this after practice and it is something the whole family can use as well!

Great quality! Every runner/athlete should use this!

Purchased original Normatec compression boots in 2016 for $1,500 and got a new battery in 2018. The battery has stopped working and replacement cost is $450. It’s a shame prior customers get “modeled out” for that investment. Agree with other reviewers that customer support is lacking.

Still has not been delivered!!!! Ordered on Dec 18 as a Xmas present, tracker said shipped but then “error” and never have heard again. Big problem and causes me to lose confidence in using Best Buy.com

Do not buy this product! Pump quit charging after less than 3 weeks and the company's customer support is terrible!
