Chatting to a friend a couple of years ago they said they had some compression boots expensive but they said they were ok for an extra bit of recovery aid.
Then speaking to a colleague last week he mentioned his friend (who had some rather nasty injuries in service) and he’d been trying them - he asked if I had them I said no but a friend had mentioned them in the past.
Of course Facebook listens to these chats and the sports massage gun I bought recently the company also do the boots so they keep sending me ads. I had put them in the basket found a discount code and thought I’ll think about it.
Opened fetch up on Sunday then whoosh I got an order confirmation for the fecking boots I just have opened safari on the other page and inadvertently clicked buy (downside to having cards saved in your phone)
Anyway not too worried as they do a 30 day trial money back guarantee so they arrived today.
I had them on they feel ok but do they do much other than a little compression type massage?
So wondering if any fetchies have a) got some b) tried them and if so any thoughts.
I am feeling like they’ll go back but if there is a possibility that they could help then I may keep them. My mam has issues with restless legs and one of the things I’d been reading is that it helps people with this and if so then I am happy for her to also use them a few times a week.
It won’t replace my regular sports massages it would be an as well thing.
Thanks!

A week in and I've used the boots 4 times and I can't say they've made me run faster or anything noticeable in recovery but my mam had them on last Monday and she said last night that on the Tuesday morning she walked downstairs with no issue.... she had arthritis and getting up takes her legs a bit of time to get moving and its painful coming downstairs. Not sure if it was related but she said she slept really well Monday night too.
I had them on for 35min last night, I actually like having them on even if its placebo effect and note from mam's reflection that I was out like a light last night. So for now I think they may stay.
And I must book that sports massage.
