Do Compression boots really work?
Can amateur athletes benefit from access to expensive recovery techniques?
What is sports recovery and why it is important?
Recovery is the time period in between exercise that allows muscles to rebuild, replenish and repair themselves. The process of recovery is important for active people because it lets your body rebuild itself after the stress of exercise and helps prevent injuries. It helps us avoid dangerous overtraining. Some studies link factors such as sleep with performance levels.
Recovery can be short-term, like a cool down after a workout, or can be a schedule built into a training programme encompassing things like cold water immersion “Ice Baths”, stretching, rest days, deep tissue or sports massage and the use of compression products such as socks, leggings and more expensive products like Compression Boots. It is generally accepted that the more activity you engage in, the more recovery you should work into your training regimen.

- Lance C. Dalleck, American Council on Exercise.
