Cordless Recovery Boots: The 200 Best Inventions of 2024

cCompression boots have moved from professional locker rooms to, well, every room in the last decade. Normatec popularized these inflated sleeves – which squeeze your legs, pumping blood from your toes to your heart to boost recovery after exercise – and the new Elite offers more improvements. Gone are the cumbersome air hoses and control consoles; now the boots, which offer seven intensity levels, are charged and controlled via an iPhone Max-sized touchscreen strapped to the outer thigh of each leg, or using the companion app. They fold down to the size of a backpack, and the increased battery life – four hours on a single charge – makes them more portable for active travel.
