detailedReviews: detailedReviews 1: content: My first knowledge of, and experience with, pneumatic compression devices or PCDs was through the medical field. The basic concept, one of the inflatable garments for bodily limbs that are filled with compressed air using a pneumatic pump, has saved many limbs, prevented blood clots, promoted healing, and saved many lives. Used in the medical field, particularly after major surgeries that often involve amputations or limb reconstruction, PCD garment sleeves, whether for feet, arms, or legs, are attached to a pump and cycled through a series of variable pressures of inflation and deflation to assist blood circulation. PCDs work to reverse edema and help people with low circulatory systems boost blood flow. Blood flow is imperative and critical for any healing process, and PCDs work to assist the healing process and, in some cases, make healing possible. The company Hyperice has applied this technology to a series of products for the athletic world by designing and applying the PCD concept to refresh, revive, and help athletes with muscle recovery. Their NormaTec Pulse technology uses three key technologies to maximize recovery: pulse, gradient, and distal release. Using this technology, Hyperice has marketed their latest invention - the NormaTec Elite.
The NormaTec Elite is a premium dynamic air compression for the foot and leg. This design is an integrated system with dual batteries that can be paired and work with Bluetooth through the Hyperice app or by the battery control integral to each foot and leg garment sleeve. When paired, the two-leg boot compression devices are synchronized. There are no hoses, no extra wires, etc., just two leg boot compression sleeves that each zip from toe to top of the thigh, and each has a built-in battery control. The intensity, duration, synchronization, etc., can all be operated on each battery device that is integrated into each leg boot. The product comes fully charged, and mine finished charging the maximum in under 35 minutes. Fully charged, the batteries are designed to function for up to four (4) hours.
The legs boots are marketed and packaged already Bluetooth to each other. They can charge simultaneously with the included dual charging cable. The leg boots can be unpaired and re-paired depending on personal needs, but it is important to have them work in synchronization and inflate with the same pulse, at the same rate, for the same amount of time. When paired, setting one control sets both leg boots.
Three different adjustments can be made before beginning any session. The first adjustment is the level of intensity, which can be set to any of the seven levels built into the controls. The second adjustment allows for setting the amount of time for each session. Time can be set in fifteen-minute increments up to the duration of one-hour treatments. A third adjustment can be set to determine the zone burst that can occur during the set workout. Again, setting up to five zone bursts per session depends on the user's desire.
During each session, the Hyper Sync technology enables a symmetrical massage that temporarily increases circulation and works to relieve minor aches and pains. Instead of using static compression (squeezing) to transport fluid out of the limbs, Hyperice pulse technology uses dynamic compression because their research showed that the pulsing action is more effective because it mimics the legs' and arms' natural muscle pump. This pulsing action enhances the movement of fluid and metabolites in the limbs after intense workouts. Because veins and lymphatic vessels have one-way valves that prevent fluid backflow, these devices hold pressure to prevent fluid from being forced in the wrong direction, and they are designed to deliver maximum pressure in all zones. The result is reduced soreness after workouts and assistance building endurance for consecutive workout days.
Because extended static pressure can be detrimental to the body’s normal circulatory flow, the pulse technology releases the hold pressures once they are no longer needed to prevent any backflow (distal release.) By quickly releasing the holding pressure in each area, each part of the limb gets maximum rest without noticeable pauses between compression cycles. This design combines to enhance the body to do what it naturally does but takes it to a higher level for maximum recovery.
I have used these six times, and each time, I have increased either the intensity, duration of the workout, or the number of zone pulses through the session. The garment sleeves are extremely easy to use since they are battery-operated, and the battery control unit is integral to the garment sleeves, eliminating hoses, cords, pumps, etc. This sleek design aids in ease of use. I had a serious accident a couple of years ago, and my foot had to be reattached to my leg with a lot of hardware. It has healed very well because of a skilled surgeon's care and my dedication to exercise, but the accident has given me a new challenge of intense, regular muscle cramps. After using this device, my legs, ankles, and feet are more relaxed, and nighttime sleep has improved. The use of this device makes my legs feel better in general, and I am happy to have it.

title: Detailed explanation of NormaTec Pulse technology
detailedReviews 2: content: The Hyperice Normatec Elite uses premium dynamic air compression to provide a fantastic leg massage experience. Following are my observations after using it for the past several days:
- I got the standard size unit, which is stated to be for an inseam of 31 - 35 inches or for people who are 5'4" - 6'3" tall. I am 6'2" tall and it covers my entire legs including my full thigh, almost up to the groin area, so the coverage is great for massaging the full legs, including feet.
- They have zippers to make it easy to put them on. Once they are on, you just get in a comfortable position, sitting, reclining or lying down, and you are ready to begin. It says you can wear over comfortable clothing, but not over clothing that will bunch up and with nothing in your pockets. This makes sense because the compression will get tight enough that bunched up fabric could be uncomfortable, depending on the level you set. I like to wear gym shorts and socks while using it, for this reason, and I like to kick back in a recliner for the massage.
- I love the fact that there are no cords or anything that needs to connect the two legs together or plug into anything. Both legs have their own chargeable controller right on the leg sleeve. However, the two leg units come paired with each other, so when you start one, they both start up and work in sync with each other so the experience and timing on both legs is the same. You can unpair them if you want to run them separately for different amounts of pressure, for example. You can easily pair them again after unpairing them.
- They come with a charging block attached to a dual cord so you can charge the controllers on both legs at the same time. On a full charge, they have up to four hours of battery life.
- When running a massage session, you can control them with the controllers on the leg sleeves. You can set a timer in 15 minute increments. I like to use them for 30 minute sessions.
- The controllers allow you to set the timer for the amount of treatment time, adjust the pressure between 7 different levels of compression (the level shows on the controllers), select a zone boost if you have a specific zone you want to apply more pressure on, start or stop your session (it automatically stops if you use the timer, but you can stop or pause the session at any time.) The controllers also have on/off buttons, battery level indicators, a Bluetooth status indicator and a HyperSync status indicator to show if they are currently paired or synced. Everything you need to operate a massage session is on the controllers that are attached right to the leg sleeves. However, you can also download the Hyperice App, which will automatically connect to your Normatec Elite via Bluetooth and then operate the units with he App and access advanced features and additional customization.
- The massage sessions I've experienced with the Normatec Elite have been great! The amount of compression inflates and deflates and kneads your feet and legs, one zone at a time, starting with the feet and all the way up your legs. This movement up the zones happens multiple times over the course of a 30 minute session. My preference is to run 30 minute sessions on level 4 pressure and I add in a zone boost on the foot zone. However, each person can adjust the pressure, length of session and use of zone boost to customize your massage the way you like it the best. When I get home from work, my legs and feet are typically tired and often jumpy. I put on the Normatec Elite for 30 minutes and when my session is done, my legs feel significantly better and ready for evening activities. I took a long bike ride this past weekend, after which my legs were very tired. A 30 minute session in the Normatec Elite felt so good after the ride and my legs felt great afterwards.
I highly recommend the Hyperice Normatec Elite!

title: Comprehensive review of features and operation
detailedReviews 3: content: The Hyperice Normatec Elite leg compression system is fabulous! The quality is absolutely superb! I found that they were really helpful for days where I do a lot of walking or exercising my legs as it seems to release the pressure that you can get from having more blood flow in that area. I also did notice that there was a lot less swelling after using the compression system, as opposed to not using it after working out, they are super comfortable and very durable. As shown in my pictures, you can see where the air pockets are and there are absolutely no wires to this system which helps a lot if you’re using in a small area or around pets/children. It does come with a bag which is able to be turned into a backpack or a sling. You can even fly with them as a carry-on which is amazing if you have issues with swelling from flying! There is also the ability to Bluetooth and use an app for customizing the system, which is very helpful. I would definitely start at level one before you go up so that you can feel how strong the machine is. I have only been able to get up to level three in the last month. Even if you use a level that is too high there is an automatic shut off button as well as a pause button so you are able to readjust and get yourself comfortable before continuing. It is absolutely worth buying if you were somebody who does a lot of weight exercising or hiking. I would also suggest it to anybody that does a lot of flying.

title: Fabulous system, superb quality, great for swelling
detailedReviews 5: content: The Hyperice Normatec Elite compression boots are amazing in easing soreness and improving recovery. I strength train 5 days a week, work horses and other heavy lifting farm work, and occasionally fit in some hill runs. This leaves my legs fatigued and sore at least three days every week. I've been using the Elite compression boots for almost a week now and have seen significant improvement in soreness and ease of mobility the following day when I use them the evening prior.
In the box are the boots, "Y" power charger, and carry bag. Setup is plug and play, there is a Hyperice companion app with recovery routines, and connected health functionality. I don't find it necessary to have, but there is some interesting content for education and recovery.
The boots arrived almost fully charged, and showed full battery within 20 minutes of charging. I was able to use every night for a week prior to needing to charge again. Using the boots is easy, they are directional, with L or R shown on the top pulls for each boot. The zipper runs the full length of the boot, all the way to the toe seam, so you can lay them out on a bed or chair, place legs in, and zip up. The zipper is well made and will survive being tugged on if you can't easily reach your toes.
The boots come paired, this means if you power them both up they will recognize as a set and you only need to use one controller to adjust the settings, note that you can use the boots paired or individually / unpaired, the software allows for both options. The settings on the controller are compression level, time, zone boost, and start / stop. Once boots are powered on each setting has its own button to toggle through the options. Compression has 7 stages from mild compression to fantastic work out the soreness full compression, to baseline, the total pressure range is 30-100 mmHg, and up to 110 mmHg for the Zone Boost function. Setting the duration is easy, the timer goes in increments of 15 minutes, up to one hour and shows the remaining cycle time on the controller screen (see photo). A nice feature is that if you're mid-cycle during the timer ending, it will complete the cycle prior to shutting off. Lastly is zone boost, prior to the Elite boots I haven't used personal compression boots that have this feature, and I find that this feature really helps me hone in on target areas. There are a total of five zones, which you can see by ribbing on the outside of the boot (see photo). When you select a zone, the boots will then compress as normal with extra compression at the zone of choice. This means if you have a sore calf, quads, arch of your foot, etc you can focus the compression where it's needed.
Build of the boot is simple yet sturdy, there is a flap with the controller module on it, inside the flap are where the air lines run to each zone. The fabric is thick, stitching for each zone is reinforced, and ultimately the boots feel very sturdy without being bulky or cumbersome. The benefit of this design is that there aren't any hoses in the compression area, giving uniform pressure across and up the boot. Amazingly, when done, they lay flat and fold up into a drawstring carrying bag for portability.
If you haven't used a compression boot before, the principal is straight forward, when it turns on the boot starts filling air chambers from the toe and working up, as each chamber fully inflates the air is directed to the next chamber until compression is achieved uniformly up the boot. I am 5'5" with fairly wide legs for my height so these "normal" height boots encompass my entire leg, however the flexibility in design means that my 5'4" teen and my 6'1" husband can both use the boots and experience the same benefits.
When I use the boot, I feel that the muscle soreness subsides almost immediately after a 30 minute or longer session. I also find that the next day I'm not as stiff and able to move fluidly without feeling constant muscle pain. One other unexpected benefit of a compression boot is relief from varicose vein pain. I have a significant patch of varicose veins across my upper calf, when this area swells and becomes sensitive, I can use the boot on any setting to help gain relief.
Bottom line, I don't think you need to be serious athlete to invest in these boots, they are a great recovery tool for those who work physical jobs and are looking for relief of constant muscle soreness. On the flip side, I have added this as a mandatory cool down on every leg day to the point that I no longer dread heavy lifts knowing that the soreness won't linger.

title: Excellent for recovery, circulation, and swelling relief
detailedReviews 6: content: I've been using the Normatec Elite on a daily basis for the past week. In an attempt to gauge the effectiveness of this product as a useful recovery aid, I ramped up the intensity of my leg workouts all last week. The aim was to try and promote muscle soreness to see if I felt a difference while using this product. Since I typically vary the intensity of my workouts throughout the year, I've become very familiar with how my body recovers (without the use of a recovery aid) using the same level of intensity that I employed this past week. My typical leg workouts, while using this product, consisted of 2 to 5 mile runs, barbell squats, leg extensions, lunges, leg presses, calf raises, air squats, squat jumps, and romanian deadlifts. While I may not be able to objectively prove that the Normatec Elite air compression recovery system truly helped my leg muscles recover more quickly, I can confidently say that they sure made my legs feel more rejuvenated and "fresher" the day after an intense workout.
In terms of construction, design, and build quality, the Normatec Elite feel extremely durable. As a previous owner of the Normatec 3 Legs system, these new Normatec Elite's offer the same top tier construction I've come to expect from the Normatec product line. The fabric, while being pliable, feels like it can sustain abuse for many years to come. I don't see this tearing even with hard use. Different elements of the leg coverings seem very finely stitched and the zippers feel very heavy duty. I'm a 5'9 male weighing 180 lbs with a 32 inch inseam and the leg coverings fit me absolutely perfect with a bit of space left over. For reference, Normatec states that these will fit people with a height of 5'4 - 6'3 and a 31-35 inch inseam. They fit just right for me without feeling too big or too small. The only thing that I wish Normatec would improve upon is the comfort of the inner lining. While I really like how comfortable this device feels when I'm wearing joggers or athlete leggings, whenever I decide to use it with just shorts or underwear, there are some contact points that feel a bit abrasive or rigid against the skin. I would have loved for Hyperice to include a softer yet still breathable inner lining for added comfort against bare skin.
I'm a huge fan of the new hose-free attachment air compression system. Coming from the Normatec 3 Legs, while I always loved the massive control unit, I always felt the hose attachment system was a bit cumbersome. I love that I can now freely sit on my recliner couch without any hoses or bulky attachment systems cluttering my surrounding space. I'm also happy to report that even though we get a more streamlined setup with the Normatec Elite, the power of the compression system has not been compromised. It's still as powerful as ever. I like that both shells for the legs now have their individual unit which controls the different zones, levels of pressure, and the amount of time you want to set for each session. I also really like that whenever you're operating one of the units to select your desired settings, it also applies the same settings to the other control unit. I usually like to do 30 to 45 minutes with a level between 3-5 (total of 7 levels of pressure). It's difficult to put into words just how soothing each session feels on your legs and feet; especially after an intense workout or if you're someone who's on your feet all day. It felt so relaxing on my legs that I even fell asleep during one of my sessions! One of my favorite features is "Zoneboost". If you have any soreness or aches in a specific area of your legs like your calves or quads, Zoneboost will apply additional pressure to those specific areas. After every treatment, I did feel like my legs felt significantly "fresher" and more rejuvenated the next day. It's obviously difficult to say how much of this may have been placebo but I am convinced that there is a difference to how my legs felt the next day. I think consistency is key with recovery aid products like this. One thing that really surprised me is not just that my legs felt more relaxed and refreshed the next day, but how much more refreshed my feet felt. I was also impressed by the battery life on the control units. I used this for 7 days straight, 30-45 minute treatments a day (sometimes even two treatments a day), and at the end of the week, I still had 3 out 5 circular indicators of battery left.
Overall, I think the Normatec Elite compression system can be used as a useful recovery tool for anyone that is hard on their legs. I think marathon runners all the way to your average gymgoers could get some serious relief with this. While I'm a big fan of the slight improvements on the Normatec Elite over their previous Normatec Legs 3 compression system, I would have loved to have seen a more premium inner liner for those bare skin sessions. If you're a fitness enthusiast or just happen to be on your legs all day, I highly recommend giving your legs some much needed relaxation with these!

title: Durable construction, comfortable for bare skin use
detailedReviews 7: content: I work every day with a lot of standing for many hours a day in addition to my weekly workouts at the gym. Before I got these compression boots I’d notice a lot of fatigue after my shifts, and while resting in bed helped it never really felt like enough for me to be ready the next day.
I’ve used these compression boots for about a week now at the standard intensity for 30 minutes/day, and I don’t feel as restless anymore. Setup is quick and easy since everything is self contained within each boot, which also means I can use it wherever I want due to the built in battery. I also like how once I’m done using it everything folds back up into a small bag for easy storage and travel.
I’m going to try ramping up the intensity, but right now at the standard level it feels like a nice massage going up and down my legs. Each chamber of the boots can be synchronized together through the app as the fill up with air and deflate as they go to the next section.
Overall I’m happy with the performance. I bought these on sale for $899, but even at the normal price I feel like they’re worth it.

title: Self-contained, portable, and easy to use
detailedReviews 8: content: I do morning runs every day, I skateboard, and when I am working, I am on my feet all day. Even when I would try to relax and unwind, sometimes my legs would be too sore or feel “anxious”.
When I heard about the Hyperice Noratec device, I figured that since most of everything that I had heard was positive, I might as well give it a try.
Let me say that all the positive word around this product was definitely undersold! My first session with the Noratec Elite was amazing. I had expected some air compression in various parts of my legs but the Elite felt like an actual masseuse was decompressing the soreness and stress that we all carry.
Set-Up:
Upon opening the box, I was surprised to see that there weren’t a bunch of wires that could get tangled or accidentally yanked. Each leg sleeve is wireless and communicates with each other. All I needed to do was properly charge the leg sleeves and I was good to go. Each leg has a small control box that is secured on the side. The readout on these controls is clear, allowing you to adjust the settings to what you desire.
Performance:
After one 30-minute session with the Elite, I felt like I had new legs. This thing is amazing at how it manages to somehow apply the perfect pressure around each area like the thighs, calves, and feet. I reclined in my chair, turned on the TV, and nearly drifted off to sleep because the Elite just massaged the stress away. And what’s even cooler was that the following day, not only was I not sore but by day’s end, my legs and feet were not as exhausted as they typically would’ve been.
The Elite isn’t loud, I can run 30-minute sessions with the TV on or play on my phone without being disrupted.
I think that whether you’re an athlete, or someone who is on their feet all day and just wants to melt into a solid leg massage, then you’re going to want this.

title: Amazing massage, new legs feeling after use
detailedReviews 9: content: I am completely new to Normatec and this movement of dynamic air compression recovery, and my girlfriend and I have been using these boots for about two weeks, and we love them. My girlfriend is a hardcore runner, she runs ultras and marathons at least once per month, and I am more of your 10k and half marathon runner. We both have been using this to prep for our run and for the recovery. I can’t say that this thing completely removes my soreness the day after a run, but it does feel great and I do feel like it helps with the recovery and definitely with the preparation to the run.
Here are 3 things that I love about these boots. 1) The fact that I didn’t have to download an app to be able to set these up. I just charged them, turn them on, and relaxed and let it do it’s work. I love it. Yes, the app is nice and can help you customize the session but personally I am not a fan of all these apps that devices make us download, and so this is a win-win! You don’t need your phone! 2) The boot design and how each boot has a battery. I am new to this tech, but I saw videos of previous units and I appreciate that each boot has a battery and no need to have any wires connected with each other. The boots automatically sync with each other once you turn them both on, and if you hit start on one, the other one follows without you having to click start. I appreciate the connectivity and the ease of use. 3) Battery hold – my girlfriend used this for about 8 sessions, and each session is 30 minutes, and I was impressed by this. Not sure how previous one hold up, but again wireless no cables, and it can last for a week. Perfect!
The only thing I wish was a little better was how long it takes for these to deflate. If you try to pack them up quickly after being done with your session they feel bulky. I did learn that if you start from the battery and start folding down, it helps release the air. So this part has gotten better.
Overall, I highly recommend these for anyone looking at adding some prep and recovery to their runs. As I said, I am your typical half-marathon runner and my girlfriend is the ultra/marathon runner, and she loves these! I also love them, but she uses them more than me and that’s because she runs more!

title: Love the wireless design and battery life
detailedReviews 10: content: The Hyperice Normatec Elite is a game changer in the compression recovery arena.
• Packaging – The box is minimalistic and only contains a small section on the back with pertinent information. Everything inside is nicely packaged and is well protected during shipping. Included are two dynamic air compression boots, a wall charger, and a storage bag.
• Setup – A small booklet is included with instructions on how to get started. The first step is to download the Hyperice App. Unfortunately, the Hyperice Normatec Elite is not available under air compression in the manage device section at the time of the review; however, I have other Hyperice products and will say the app is great for accessing additional features and extra customization. Pairing my other Hyperice devices was easy and only required Bluetooth to be on and near my phone. Within the app you select a routine and tap start. The app will then search for available devices. Select the device to connect. Next, the instructions say the boots should be charged. Both of my air compression boots came with a full charge with all 5 white battery status LEDS illuminated and solid. They claim up to 4-hour battery life. I have used them for several 30-minute sessions so far without needing to charge so their estimate seems accurate.
• Usage – To start the session, put both air compression boots on. I just pull them up like putting on pants but if you have trouble they can be unzipped. Each leg has a small embroidered tag designating right or left. Make sure you don’t have anything in your pockets, especially something sharp as it could damage the fabric or be uncomfortable/cause injury depending on the level of compression you pick. Also, make sure they are fully zipped prior to starting. These can be used in pretty much any position, but I prefer sitting on the edge of my bench or reclining in a chair depending on the length of the treatment. Each air compression boot has an individual control unit, although, they are paired together by default so any change you make on one also changes on the other. This is an integrated system so there are no hoses! This is probably my favorite thing about them. Hit the power button, select the pressure level (1-7) and treatment time, and if wanted zone boost. The zone boost allows for increased intensity of a single zone if you want extra treatment to a specific area. The zones start at the foot and go to the upper thigh. You can get a rough estimate of each area by looking at the horizontal stitched fabric on the boots. With prior models there is also a diagram available on their website. After all settings have been selected press the start button. When the session is nearing completion the control unit will notify you. Wait 10-15 seconds once the session completes to allow them to deflate and prevent zipper damage.
• Size – I picked the standard size: Inseam 31-35 inches, height 5’4-6’3. These fit great. I am 6’1 with a 34 inseam and weigh about 195 pounds.
• Material – The compression boots are made of a durable material and have a sturdy zipper. After multiple uses, I have no concern that these will not last for years if appropriately cared for. As far as cleaning goes, make sure they are powered off and not connected to the wall charger. Use a damp, clean cloth to wipe them off and allow to dry. I store my in the bag and out of direct sunlight.
Overall, I think these air compression boots are great. I really like the fully integrated design with no hoses or separate control unit(s). They work well and help improve recovery time after lifting. While they are pricey, they are worth the price.

title: Integrated design, no hoses, great for recovery
detailedReviews 11: content: I used the older style compression boots a few years ago and they were a novelty but with all the hoses and cords I had no interest in buying my own. Fast forward to now, I’m ramping up training for some longer races next year and already have occasional issues with water retention in my lower legs so I decided to look into getting my own compression boots for recovery. I was very happy to see these that no longer require all the hassle of the old ones!
I’ve had them about two weeks now and have been very satisfied with the compression and battery life. The buttons on the sleeves work well to set compression level and duration, I haven’t done anything with the zone button yet. The app (at least on iOS) doesn’t seem to do anything you can’t do with the buttons so that’s not worth even downloading. (I’d hoped it might offer different programs but it does not.) I love that you can use them independently so if just one leg is bothering me I can easily use just one sleeve. The only slight negative is sometimes even after the time ends it keeps going thru a “finishing cycle” phase so if you only have 15 free min and you expect them to be all done at the end of that 15 min you might have to wait a few more min before they are actually done. I haven’t tried powering them off during that time, maybe that would be on option if you really had to pack them up at a certain time or something.
Overall they are a bit expensive but they work well and seem well made so I’m happy with the purchase!

title: Works well, portable, good battery life
detailedReviews 12: content: The Hyperice Normatec Elite are my first set of recovery “boots” but I have come to appreciate the new design and the features the integrated system offers. I was first pleasantly surprised by how small the packaging of the Normatec Elite was and the fact the boots can be folded into a small footprint and stored in the included bag. In the box you will find just the boots, bag, and Y-cable charger that can simultaneously charge both legs or boots. Out of the box, the boots were slightly heavier than I anticipated, but that isn’t too surprising considering each boot has its own pump and battery. The included bag does the job, but it feels slightly cheap for an “Elite” compression system.
Hyperice has redesigned their well known Normatec recovery boots to no longer rely on an external pump and control unit. In doing so you no longer need to connect each leg to the bulky control unit as each one has an integrated pump, battery, and control unit. The Normatec Elite also features their HyperSync technology to sync both legs together, so that you can control the system from either leg’s control unit. With HyperSync, both systems sync up to massage or compress in unison to provide a uniform and symmetric experience on both legs. As a standalone system, you have complete control over duration, compression level, and even zone boost which allows you specify a problematic segment or zone to target the therapy.
With this being my first set of compression recovery boots, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I am not an active runner, although I spend equal amount of my time walking as I do sedentary at my desk. I do experience soreness and cramps periodically and read I could benefit from this type of therapy. Initially, the boots take some getting used to but after my first session I did feel they reduced the aches in my calves and knees. After trying different levels, I found that using a lower strength compression for a slightly longer duration was most enjoyable for me. During one session I set the compression level higher and I experienced some discomfort, so I don’t recommend going higher than necessary. Using the Normatec Elite for the past week seems to have reduced overall soreness and my legs feel better after each use. I also have yet to charge the boots, so the battery life is better than expected.
At the time of this review, the Hyperice app has not yet updated to interface with the Elite so I was not able to customize the experience of the Normatec Elite. As a standalone product, it does a great job offering a dynamic leg compression system without the bulk of their previous product. The system works well and offers enough control on its own that I have enjoyed using the boots and recommend it to those who are interested in compression therapy but could benefit from the portability and ease of use the Normatec Elite provides.

title: Great dynamic leg compression without bulk
detailedReviews 13: content: These are amazing so far and after numerous 30-minute sessions, my legs feel outstanding. I’m a light runner, but have no shortage of leg pain even on a daily basis.
I fly a lot for work and while I’m not active enough to carry them with me on business trips yet, it's nice to know it’s an easy option when I do bring them along. My wife has circulation problems and she said they make her legs feel amazing. Running, biking, standing, post-workout recovery are all sorts of things this product can help with and I’m glad they can do it without being fussy since it’s all-in-one. I have never used the prior model with the tubes, but I cannot see how they would be missed…these are so convenient since it’s 100% tubeless.
The all-in-one design of this product means packing it for travel is simple; just fold them up, grab the charger, and put them in the included travel bag and off you go. Only extra thing you would have is the diminutive charger, which tucks neatly in the included travel bag.
The two independent controllers are in-sync as long as you start them at the same time, on the same program/strength. Once the app product selector is available for this model, I wouldn’t be surprised if the app can sync them; I’ll have to see once the app has this model loaded.
They are of seriously high quality construction/well-built and look/feel expensive (in a good way!). Definitely see getting many years of use, however I’m not sure if the battery packs are serviceable. You set the time and strength, press start, and each ballast methodically fills from bottom up, applying gentle, steady pressure from your foot to your upper thigh. It then oscillates up and down your legs in various patterns. The air ballasts introduce an impressively firm pressure which feels like an actual person's grip, but in a very consistent manner. Impressive for something so slim and portable. The battery life is outstanding and pumps seem to sip power, so you could have many sessions on one charge. The actual sound of the ballasts filling is whisper quiet, making it easy to use when watching TV or reading. You may even be able to use these in bed without waking your partner. You hear a gentle humm as they fill with air, one-by-one, then a muted pssssshh as they deflate. No beeping or other annoyances, which is nice for use in quiet settings.
They are comfortable but men may need to widen their legs as the leg ballasts fill towards the top of your thigh. This advice is amplified if you are on the shorter side of the inseam requirements. Also, if your doorbell rings while wearing these, you aren’t instantly jumping up to open the door, but with a quick deflate and zip, you may make it in time :) I am in the recommended inseam size range but they still feel a bit too long and ride up pretty high on my thigh. On that, it would be nice if you could temporarily disable the top-most ballast around your upper thigh so shorter legs can fully seat their feet in the base of the boot, heels touching the boot bottom, and the tops of the legs can be folded over, shortening the entire leg.
Overall, t's like a personal on-demand masseuse that you can carry with you anywhere. Long battery life, a small charger, and a travel bag makes this easy to take anywhere, even on flights. I will get a lot of routine use out of this device and can easily recommend it to anyone with legs! :-)

title: On-demand masseuse, portable, whisper quiet operation
detailedReviews 14: content: The Normatec Elite seems like a marked improvement in design over previous iterations. I was very impressed with the overall build quality and durability of the materials. What sticks out to me is how previous versions had a single control unit with hoses and this one does not. It's got two small control units on each leg that have tucked all the hoses away into the sleeve. So it's a lot more portable and easier to use in more places. No crazy wires all over your living room.
The control units are bluetooth paired to each other and synchronize the experience if you are choosing to wear both sleeves. However, you can choose to use just one at a time as well. My biggest complaint was with the included instructions (or lack thereof). They were in a tiny little book of small font text, and they were not at all helpful really. I was unable to get it to connect to the Hyperice app, but that may be because this version of the product wasn't in the app yet. I selected Hyperice Normatec Legs and it attempted to connect, but would never come up. So I've no way to judge the value of their app. I do hope it's something they eventually fix.
I was able to unbox them and use them right away for a 30 mins session. I tried level 3 at first, and then quickly increased it to the max. I definitely squeezed on my legs, but it wasn't too much or uncomfortable. It was just more a slow, subtle squeeze than an actual massage. So if you're looking for a massage. Look elsewhere. I can't speak to the efficacy of preventing DOMS or helping with existing soreness, but it definitely helped move the blood into those areas of my legs.
I don't know that I would recommend this to a friend. It's a costly item for a very niche purpose. If you're an athlete or weightlifter, then this is right in your wheelhouse.

title: Improved build, portable, easier setup
detailedReviews 15: content: From the 1st time I saw different variations of this style leg and feet devices, I always questioned if and how well they work. Well I'm no longer questioning, but I'm a true believer that the work and work very well.
I love how long the rechargeable batteries last in these, one charge lasts me 6-8 uses before recharging is necessary. I assumed these ran off electric, but surprisingly they are battery powered. These work in conjunction of each other. So when you choose a setting on one leg, both legs respond to the setting change.
I usually go with all 5 zones of massage and a level 4. These almost make my legs feel weightless after use, which is amazing. I'm a union ironworker by trade, and after many long hours a day per week in work boots. These really help me from the fatigue of being on my feet all day long. Most of the time 15 minutes of use is good, while other days 30 minutes feels great and is needed.
These come with a battery charger and a carrying bag which is nice for travel and storage. I really do highly recommend these to anyone who works on they're feet all day and have demanding jobs like myself. These really are great with minimal effort for use.

title: Long-lasting batteries, makes legs feel weightless
detailedReviews 16: content: Have been using these for a week or so and have been super impressed with this so far. Was looking initially at the Normatec 3 a few months back. Liked the whole package (with legs, hips, and arms) but seeing all the hoses and attachments made me feel that I would likely use it a week and put it aside. When I saw these get released, it seemed like it almost resolved all the main issues I initially was researching with the Normatec 3.
Pros:
- I love how easy it is to slip on and use. The controls make it super simple to start a session without need to connect a phone. The boots initially start the air fill from the feet and work its way up to the thigh. Overall, a 15 minute session feels very beneficial without taking too much time.
- The battery life is much better than I was initially thinking. There are 4 battery indicators and I can do about 45 minutes to 1 hour before the indicator goes down.
- The compression is very good for not needing any external compressor. I have thicker legs so a 5-6 (scale is 1-7) work pretty well for me
Cons
- The air doesn't completely deflate after its done so putting it away can be more annoying as it doesn't fold easily with the air.
- Legs can get a little sweaty while in there. Don't really see a great way around this
- The noise level is not bad but definitely are not quiet. Haven't tried other boots so can't compare the sound levels.
- These are quite pricey. They are a few hundred more than the Jet boots by Therabody for similar function. These look much more compact and
Overall:
My wife loves using these for day to day as a way to compress and relief any leg soreness. We go golfing a lot and walk the course so this is a great post routine to relax the leg muscles.

They are easy to pack away and you can literally take theses anywhere. If you are a runner, athlete or simply just always on your feet throughout the day, these boots are a no brainer.

If I wake up with fluid in my knees and do a 30 minute session with these, I can get right back into activity. For that, they are worth it to me.

After one hour massage, I have no signs of fatigue or soreness. I do not own the previous version, but the pictures of hoses tethering both legs were not encouraging. In this new version, each leg has its own power supply and internal tubing. The batteries are compact and last the advertised amount of time. The unit pairs itself and works in sync. It comes with a dual charger with a generously long cord allowing to charge both “legs” at the same time. The unit is pricy but is FSA eligible, so if you can wait and plan it, you can buy it with pre tax money, like I did.

detailedReviews 88: content: I use the Normatec Elite regularly alongside my massage gun, and it’s become a staple in my recovery and warm-up routine. Whether I’m gearing up for a run, workout, or a ski day, I’ll often throw the boots on beforehand to help loosen up my legs and get blood flowing. It’s a great way to prep your muscles without having to move around a ton, especially if you’re feeling stiff or sluggish.
What I really love about the Normatec is how convenient it is for passive recovery. I can throw them on after a long run or tough day in the mountains, sit back, and just read or watch something while the system works through its compression cycles. It takes no effort, but still makes your legs feel fresher and lighter when you’re done.
The adjustable pressure levels and different zone options let you tailor the session based on how trashed your legs are—whether it’s after back-to-back 20-milers or just a light flush on an easier day.
For anyone logging serious miles, training consistently, or just wanting to maximize recovery time, the Normatec Elite is an excellent tool. It’s not cheap, but if you’re committed to your performance and want something that works while you rest, it’s absolutely worth it.

detailedReviews 99: content: Normatec boots are a game changer for anyone looking to improve their recovery time and overall athletic performance. These compression boots use dynamic air compression to increase circulation, reduce inflammation, and decrease muscle soreness. The boots are easy to use, lightweight and portable, making them a convenient option for use at home or on the go. After using Normatec boots, I noticed a significant improvement in my recovery time and felt less soreness after intense workouts. I personally am shorter than the recommended height but that didn’t stop me from trying these boots out. You are able to choose the level (1-7), time (15mins, 30 mins, 45 mins, or an hour), and zone boost (1-5; focusing on specific areas). I highly recommend these boots for anyone looking to help their soreness whether that may be from working out, playing sports, or just standing on your feet all day. As a kickboxer, I’m extremely thankful for these boots and have seen a difference in my recovery time.

The first couple of times using them I thought they were as good as but after using them for two weeks they seemed to not work as well and then one leg would inflate more than the other almost to where it seemed to overinflate. The portability would have been great to take on trips with me. For the price I expected them to be over and above what I use at the gym. I am disappointed that is not the case and for the price, it should have been better. I will be returning this product. I really wish they had worked as advertised.

detailedReviews 107: content: Great boots but unless you want portability I prefer the Normatec 3 boots. Yes having to not connect to an external pump is nice but my old Normatec 3s felt better and had various options for the boots depending on your activity. These boots allows for compression intensity setting along with zones but doesnt work with the Hyperice app to provide activity specific compression routines. I will most likely return and swap for Normatec 3s since I do not travel with the boots and they mostly stay in the same room.

Tried reaching out to the company about it and have not been able to get through to anybody and have yet to have my email replied to. I went with the more expensive leg compression device thinking it would work best and wouldn't have to worry about it which has not been the case and the lack of responsiveness from the Normatec has me questioning my decision.

At 5'9" I feel like they a little long.

detailedReviews 111: content: I was pretty surprised on the recovery of my calves after using. I just got back to working out and usually after not working out for a while I would not be able to be as consistent. This also helped with swelling after pregnancy. I was able to use it about 6 or 7 times before needing to recharge. The reason for the 4 stars is because even with my husband being 5’10 it is still long so imagine for me that is a bit shorter.

title: Helped with swelling after pregnancy, still long
detailedReviews 112: content: They worked great but the charger didn't work. It took two weeks to get a new charger from Hyperice.
I had the prior version and these are so much better, no hoses to connect and disconnect and the app is very easy to use.
I just wish the customer service was better. Its a shame to have a great product but poor customer service.

title: Charger didn't work, customer service slow
detailedReviews 113: content: Very light and easy to use without the hoses and battery pack. I felt like the compression was similar to Normatec 3.
But I returned it, however, because it wasn’t compatible with the hip attachment. If you don’t need the hip attachment, I would definitely choose the Elite over fhe Normatec 3 Legs.

title: Light and easy to use, returned for hip attachment
detailedReviews 114: content: Improved build over the Normatec 2s with less hassle of dealing without the hoses.
The only issue is what will happened when the battery dies? The reusability may be in question.
Reason is with the Normatec 2s I purchased a replacement battery (at $300).

title: Improved build, question battery reusability
detailedReviews 115: content: I think I like them. The battery feature is really solid. I’ve been able to use them maybe 6 times before needing to recharge. The compression feels amazing in the foot/calf region but I don’t feel like it compresses enough in the thighs to make a difference. Rating 4 stars because the price is steep for these, but I enjoy using them so I’ll continue to use them.

detailedReviews 116: content: These work really well with recovery. I use them before and after workouts. They will help your legs feel much more refreshed and recovered. Also help with leg pains if you a ling distance walker or runner.

detailedReviews 117: content: So disappointed. These have no pressure even on level 7. I’ll keep the hoses and cords. Compared to a normal plug in version and even an off brand I have these are terrible. DO NOT BUY THIS VERSION.

detailedReviews 122: content: These worked great, until they could not even charge and I needed customer service. At this price point you expect the customer support would be prompt. However after owning these for just over a month they stopped working and when I reached out to customer service they sent me to Zendesk purgatory.

detailedReviews 124: content: I purchased this item to assist me with some leg swelling that was caused by a recently diagnosed medical condition. While the product is not cheap, The zippers are high quality, the material is high quality and the product does a great job.
A few minor points:
1) Careful on sizing. I believe I got the 32" inseam but did struggle on day 1 to get my swollen legs in.
2) The feet could use some traction material so you can walk with out potential slippage.

title: Extremely large, hard to use, no return
detailedReviews 126: content: I have used them a handful of times but so far they have been great. The high pressure settings. Ring solid pressure so beware! The unit comes charged and with a great bag. The only downfall seems to be after use, deflating the units to fit in the bag takes a bit of manual pressure to get all of the air out. Otherwise they work great!
