Nike and Hyperice’s $900 ‘Recovery’ Boot Lives Up to the Hype

What do they do and why do they look so strange?

Hyperboot is not discreet. These are large and voluminous and they seem to be designed to accompany an astronaut for a month. So far, most runners, casual and professional, great work shoes, these are used for larger and much more. The reason for the hidden sauce of the wheel and these recovery shoes is the same internal air compression technology you can find in Normatec boots (Hyperice received normatecl in 2020).

It is better known Intermediate Pneumatic Compression (IPC) devicesThey regularly use air pumps and rooms system to inflict and swell in a repeated pattern. This idea behind it, expand and crumble in a systematic way, increasing the flow of blood flow and lymphenic fluid, and the movement of a lymphed fluid, which allows you to better turnover and removal.

In addition to this squeezing technology, hyperboot added another feature: heat. While squeezing your legs and ankles, the device is heated. It is known to relieve heat muscles, adding it with compression technology should provide further blood flow and fluid movement; Also, the heat only feels really nice.

What do boots feel like?

Unfortunately I do not hate them. Unfortunately, those who really really want to fall in love with a $ 900 restore shoe?

Unlike a compression arms or other brands or other brands, hyperboot, both healing and warming device should be worn to get the most benefits, both shoes and then. Runners and other athletes often fall into three camps: warming standards, restoration believers or both. I fall into the fourth category: I forget to be unfairly-purposefully – both. But for this review, I claimed that I was determined in the third category.

I promise and promise before we wear a two-week hyperboot or in our word! Spent a worthy amount of my free time Normatec feet I know that Circa can create these devices from multiple marathon 2018 to 2022 “fresh feet”. This is undoubtedly a glorious light, an airy experience. New hyperboots did not disappoint this front. And adding heat, which forms a step by stepping into one of these leg baths, but created without adding additional mixed water and cleaning.

The setting of boots themselves were flat. Boots are caught through two USB-C ropes connected to the wall charger. Payment will last about 1.5 hours (this is a lot of time in boots; see below;) There are four buttons: one-on / off button, a compression button, a heat button and a start / stop button. There are three intensity of both compression and heat buttons.

After once twisted and burning the device, hyperboots will get shove into each leg. The start / stop button will start consistent compressions and heat. Initially, I turned the parameters and maximize heat power. Strong compressions were not worried (contrary to the contrary), the heat quickly became intolerable. The heat intensifies intensity from 111 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the lowest level. Be aware: The highest level was so hot that I had to take out the middle session of the shoes (even if it was not so hot, I had to run or burn them under cold water, do not worry). Since then, it happens or very hot when it comes to heat or boots. In both cases, I was able to withstand the shoes on the lowest possible heat setting. Even with this setting, the feeling of a hot water bath is only beautiful.

I was surprised that the shoe feels fresh, comfortable to start my legs and ankle and to start a training, and at the same time it was restored and renewed. The main concept behind the boots, According to Hyperice and NikeYour ankles and legs are important, but also forgotten and difficult areas. Technically Normatec feet Cover your feet and ankles, so if you are a pair of them (and they are now the same price as a hyperboot), you can think more hyperboots can provide.

Trying both, I will say that hyperboot provides an ankle more targeted compression compared to Normatec feet and you can feel the difference after finishing. Hyperboot felt my ankles ready for light, patrons and next training. It was not insignificant to add heat in a significant way. It made a noteworthy difference – subjectively!

From a technical point of view, shoes, compression and heating benefits are made of shoes to walk, walk, sit or travel. In this note, the shoes are confirmed in TSA. Also, I have difficulty forcing myself to leave myself in this shoe if it is sharp. I could wear them for hours while making cleaning, cooking and other household work in my apartment. The midsoles are quite convenient and generally feel like a propeller like a propeller similar to the wearing feeling of wearing Carbon plate racing shoes. But I just felt the most benefit from them, just to sit, relax and compromise and heating. I forced myself twice as I care about my readers: once to buy coffee and walk around my neighborhood and go to a grocery store. Many people looked at my legs. No one asked questions.

They actually help you get rid of faster? What does science say?

It is undeniable that these shoes are your feet happy. But how does this become a real recovery? And what arguments should we return it? This is where the work becomes more difficult.

Was compression device technology First developed To prevent blood clotting for patients hospitalized with the bed. Periodic compressions, if someone had a city block or a hospital wing length, a hospital wing length, walk the length of a hospital. Doctors knew that the stretching inaction has increased the risk of the blood, so these boots in imitating the movement have reduced the risk of this dangerous clots. Lauret, a doctor, a doctor called Laura Jacobs, increased these devices to help people with postoperative lymphedem in breast cancer. Then it was his device Presented to the sports community Like normatec feet. If Immobilile can help the hospitalized blood flow and lymph drain, then it can help athletes.

But there is something for that. An athlete in a hospital where a patient who was taken to the hospital, which was taken to the hospital, which was taken to the hospital, which was taken to an amateur and hospital, which was taken to the hospital. Unfortunately, there is a little proof that these compression devices do something more to recovery than can take a walker. Hyperboot is new, so there are no independent studies in their effectiveness. However, since the qualifiel came out, there were a number of studies that helped you to restore these devices.

One 2020 research The International Journal of Training Sciences followed how 10-distance athletes (five women and five men and five men and five male athletes) worked after working in a session. The research concludes that the IPC’s significant benefit did not appear in the restoration. Published in sports biologyA total of 319 participants looked at 17 studies and provided the markers of the muscle damage, and the markers of the muscle damage were “moderately effective” on the fact that the “high variable effect”. The authors can “be a method to reduce the pain that has potential effects to restore this technology in sport.”

The problem is that the author is like Christie aschwanden It’s good to goAbout the reset of sports, Runner told the worldIt is really difficult to measure what is recovery or “no unified physiological measurement – a heart rate, body temperature or hydration status, which will not be restored or not.” In fact, ‘How do you feel?’ is a common way to restore.

In this vein, Hyperboot felt good. I felt better before putting them after wearing boots. This was true when I wear it every time. I looked forward to wearing them so that I was even intimidated by me, they tried to have more difficulty. However, after leaving $ 900 and hyperboot, instead of starting my run, I would probably prefer it because I went to the park and I would have the same benefit. Although it will not be comfortable or entertaining.
