How to choose
Decision guide
Foam rollers, massage guns, boots and recovery sandals — comfort adjuncts with honest evidence limits, not medical treatment.
Product types
- Foam rollers. Simple self-massage.
- Massage guns. Targeted percussive work.
- Compression boots. Home recovery ritual; cost vs benefit.
- Recovery sandals. Post-run comfort footwear.
What matters
- Whether the tool fits your actual routine
- Evidence honesty — comfort ≠ healing claims
- Travel vs home use
Specs that matter
- Amplitude / speed (guns). Usable range beats max marketing number.
- Size / packability. Tools you won’t travel with won’t get used.
Common trade-offs
- Premium boots ↔ Simple roller. Expensive tools don’t replace sleep and load management.
When use case changes the choice
- High mileage. Routine beats gadget novelty.
- Travel races. Packable gun or roller only.
Beginner start
Start with a foam roller you’ll actually use. Skip medical claims — treat these as comfort tools.
