The Nike x Hyperice Hyperboots Will Give You a Heated Foot Massage While You Walk
Everybody loves a good foot massage. As an avid runner with plantar fasciitis, I often need a good foot massage. So when I heard about the Nike x Hyperice collaboration to develop a shoe with compression and heating capabilities built in, I was eager to learn more. The Hyperboots feature the same air compression technology as the beloved-by-runners-everywhere Hyperice Normatec boots ($899). The only downside to the Normatec boots are the fact that you have to chill out and remain horizontal while you wear them (which, maybe isn't exactly a downside, but it still means you can't multitask much during your recovery period). With the Hyperboots, you can enjoy the same squeezing and releasing sensation around your feet and ankles while you go about your life. Thanks to Nike's input, you can wear something that looks more like a sleek, modern sneaker than a recovery device. Retro Appeal Photograph: Kristin Canning Photograph: Kristin Canning The first time I tried on—and turned on—the Hyperboots, I was immediately giddy. There's something very exciting about a shoe with extras built in. It reminded me of Heelys and the popular light-up tennis shoes of my '90s youth. When you turn them on by pressing a power button on the inside of the heel, the shoe automatically inflates to offer a better fit and some mild compression. The compression portion covers the mid-foot at the top and sides, the sides and back of the heel, and the ankle. I got small Hyperboots (they come in small, medium, large, XL, and XXL) and they were too big for my size-8 feet, but turning on the shoe made comfortable enough to walk around in them without my foot slipping around. From there, you have the option to adjust the level of compression and heat, with three settings each, and you can press a play button to start an active air-compression massage. The boots sync settings when you have them both on. The air filling up the ankle wrap and releasing does make a droning noise, almost like an airplane flying overhead—nothing too obnoxious. You can charge them up with the two USB-C cords and wall charger they come with, and the charge lasts for up to an hour and a half. The massage and heat felt wonderful while I did chores around the house. I noticed the plush foam soles and their rocker bottoms, which helped propel me forward with little effort. The forefoot and heel provide grippy traction. The shoes don't offer much in terms of arch support, so I wouldn't recommend walking far in them if you have high, fussy arches like me (without adding some inserts), but they were comfortable enough all the times I wore them. The upper feels extremely durable, and even with the built-in tech, they can handle splashes and rain (though they aren't fully waterproof). I liked the highest compression setting for my feet, but that setting felt like a bit much around my ankles when I was walking. The top of the ankle wrap dug in a bit when I moved, but it wasn't uncomfortable if I was sitting. The massage runs for 20 minutes, and you can just press play again to start over if your dogs need some more TLC. The heat settings go all the way up to 125 degrees Fahrenheit, which was way too hot for me—I found the lowest setting of 111 degrees to be plenty to feel therapeutic. Post Workout Photograph: Kristin Canning After trying the shoes around the house, I was excited to use them after an activity that was harder on my feet. I put them on after a long day snowboarding where I racked up over 13,000 feet of vert, and I was able to drive home through the mountains while my feet warmed up and got a relaxing massage—incredible. The boots flushed out the lactic acid that had built up in my feet and ankles from all the maneuvering they were doing inside my bindings, and I was able to keep the massage going after I got home and while I did laundry and dishes.

Clear gels, massage boots, sleep masks, here's hi-tech gear for quick recovery
New equipment and machines keep showing up in gyms and the Internet from time to time. That has been the case since before you or I were around and will likely continue to till the end of time. Despite all the new additions, the best exercise equipment till date remain the timeless barbell, dumbbell, free weights, pull-up bars and skipping rope. The real innovation in the exercise world, so to speak, has been in nutrition, recovery and activity tracking. The advancements in nutrition, sports science and medicine coupled with a lot of groundbreaking research over the last couple of decades have not only improved standards and athletic performances while shattering records in various sports, they have also improved the fitness levels and health of recreational athletes, weekend warriors and fitness enthusiasts. All this progress is also trackable now thanks to new age wearable technology that can measure sleep, heart rate, count steps, record workouts, track runs, swims and rides and even keep a log of every step, kick and tackle in a football game and much more.

Hyperice has managed to shrink its Normatec Compression recovery sleeves technology to fit into slightly outlandishly large high top shoes that massage your feet while you go about your day. And how cool it would be if those massage shoes also doubled up as a hot compress? The Nike Hyperice Boots do just that: they deliver heat and massage therapy on the go. There are three heat levels and three compression levels to choose from which makes the therapy customisable as per one's needs and tolerance. The massage is delivered by pushing air into pockets built into the boots while the heat comes from the warming elements bonded to the pockets. As a recreational runner, I can already picture many runners sporting these a day after a race, and on planes on their way back home after a marathon or an ultra. As a fortnightly footballer, I would like nothing more than driving back home in these boots while they attend to my battered ankles. At $899 a pair, they don't come cheap. The Nike Hyperice Boot is likely to inspire a range of knock-off shoes because who doesn't like a hot foot massage on the go? MAURTEN GELS AND DRINK MIXES Sports nutrition is big business today. The category is growing consistently and is projected to be worth $53.27 billion this year. This growth is not only because of rising demand among the burgeoning health conscious and active people but also because of robust R&D creating new and effective products. Ask any veteran endurance sports enthusiast and they will tell you how gels have caused them gastrointestinal issues, made them gag and feel nauseous. These essential mid-race carb boost supplements have come a long way from then. Today, there are products that can deliver the required carb boost in a drink form as well. Currently, Maurten's hydrogel technology is all the rage in sports nutrition. It's clear gels are very popular among both elite and recreational athletes and it also has carbs that can be ingested as a sports drink. Maurten's Drink Mix can deliver up to 40 grams of carbs when dissolved in 500ml water. 'The Drink Mix becomes a hydrogel upon contact with stomach acid, encapsulating the carbohydrates and helping to reduce the sensation of sloshing in the stomach when consuming fuel during exercise," claims the brand.

These are the pneumatic compression leg recovery systems that were first made famous by Normatec. In the beginning, they were used exclusively in recovery and rehab rooms of big sports teams but today they are everywhere. Even the sports massage therapist that visits my friend in Mumbai has a pair and offers his clients a session in these for a small fee. I have been using a pair of Normatec sleeves for four years now and can vouch for their effectiveness. While these pneumatic compression systems are used for warm-up as well, I find they are best used after a session of sport or exercise. The legs feel much lighter and less painful by the time the session is done. This recovery gear uses dynamic air pressure to deliver a massage. You can set the duration and choose from seven intensity levels. It also has a preset that helps you sleep. There are attachments to massage your arms and hips as well. Therabody, the makers of the popular Theragun, also offer a leg recovery system and there are already plenty of knock-offs on the market at half the price. THERABODY SLEEP MASK Ask any elite sportsperson, coach or doctor and they are likely to tell you that the most important thing in any recovery protocol is sleep. It's no wonder that at the Paris Olympics, the Indian contingent had installed sleep pods for athletes inside the Games Village, and the medical team admitted that these sleep pods were in high demand. Sleep pods are large and expensive making them impractical and unaffordable for most individuals. But here's an affordable and effective sleep aid: a blackout eye mask that delivers a soothing massage. Therabody's Sleep Mask is a blackout eye mask with a vibrating pod. Users can choose from three vibration patterns and adjust the intensity as per their liking. The brand claims that the sleep mask helps 'you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, get deeper sleep and wake up less." WHOOP TRACKER AND OURA RING That screen less band that every cricketer sports these days is the Whoop tracker. It has become very popular in India since it debuted en-masse on Indian cricketers' wrists, this despite the fact that Whoop users have to pay an annual subscription fee to track activities, sleep, heart rate and a lot more as well as get detailed insights through monthly reports and a quick overview through a smartphone app. Whoop has taken things up a notch with the recent launch of its latest tracker with medical grade abilities that can measure blood pressure and ECG too. Another popular tracker that has shot into limelight in the last few years is the Oura smart ring. A subscription-based tracker it is great at tracking sleep and heart rate. While it tracks workouts too, it is not as efficient at it as the Whoop tracker or Apple Watch or any of the Garmin smart watches. However, it is small and not in your face like most other wrist-based trackers and lets you track your activities without announcing to the world that you are doing so.

You Can Now Buy Nike's $900 Workout Shoes for Compression and Heating
Those workout shoes with compression and heating that Nike and Hyperice showed off at CES 2025 earlier this year weren't just a concept. The Hyperboot is now available to buy online in North America, so they're within reach, as long as you're willing to spend $899. The high-tops, which Nike and Hyperice call a wearable much like your smartwatch, help your feet warm up before a workout, and then recover after it. The shoes do this with heating and air-compression massage technology, taking the idea of heating pads and compression socks and making them mobile. "You can definitely feel the heat in here," CNET former mobile senior writer Lisa Eadicicco said when she had the chance to try these workout shoes on in January. She walked across a demo room in Las Vegas wearing the fancy footwear to test out the compression and heating features. The boots massage and compress your ankles and feet, and in CNET's test, we could especially feel the heat around the ankles. Buttons on the shoes let you adjust compression and the amount of heat with multiple settings for each. The directions on how to use buttons on the Nike Hyperboot. Nike/Hyperice "The Hyperboot contains a system of dual-air bladders that deliver sequential compression patterns and are bonded to thermally efficient heating elements that evenly distribute heat throughout the shoe's entire upper," Nike said. The battery lasts for 1 to 1.5 hours on max heat and compression settings, or 8 hours if you're only using the massage setting. It takes 5 to 6 hours to charge via USB-C cable. The boots come in five sizes: S, M, L, XL and XXL.
