The range
We would rather sell you the cheaper one and have you still using it next winter. Tap the line that sounds like your legs, or browse.
Core 6 (Wireless), A$449. The compression wave, cordless, and nothing you will not use. This is the one most people should buy.
Core Pro (Heat), A$549. Heat built into the sleeves, 40 to 70 degrees, running while the compression works. The winter pick.
Ice (Cold + Compression), A$749. The Core 6 system plus two freezable gel sleeves for the hot, heavy days.
Recovery Pants, A$699. One garment from ankle to waist, covering the hips and glutes that boots cannot reach.
How it works
There is no mystery in the mechanism, and no need to invent one. The chambers on the left light up as you read the step they belong to.
Six overlapping air chambers wrap each leg from the foot to the top of the thigh. The first ones close around the ankle. The only skill required is sitting down.
Ankle first, then upward, each chamber overlapping the last so the squeeze arrives as one continuous wave rather than a set of separate pinches. This is the part you feel.
For 15 to 60 minutes, at a pressure you choose across eight levels from 60 to 270 mmHg. Most people settle in the middle and never touch the top third.
The honest bit
The evidence here is genuinely mixed, and most of this category sells around that. We would rather lose the sale now than have the box come back in three weeks.
Why the price is what it is
In Australia, the major recovery boot brands start around A$800, and premium systems run past A$1,400. A set of compression boots is a pump, a controller, hoses and a chambered sleeve. That is the whole machine, at any price.
Your order is dispatched directly from our manufacturing partner's facility, not from a warehouse three margins downstream.
Our systems are engineered and built by LEAMAI, 16 years in the category. The unit you receive carries their logo, and we say so before you buy.
Delivered, taxes and duties included. The number at checkout is the number you pay, with nothing owed at the door.
Before you buy
Because we are new and we are not going to fake it. No invented star ratings, no stock-photo testimonials, no counter telling you how many people are viewing this page. What we offer instead is the stuff that costs us money if we are lying: 30 days to change your mind, a warranty settled by photo, and rights under Australian law we could not exclude if we wanted to.
See the full answer →No bill, and about fifteen days, with a twelve to eighteen day window. We ship delivered duty paid, so the checkout number is final and nothing is asked of you on arrival. Dispatch is 1 to 2 business days, then tracked door to door. Honest downside: if your race is next weekend, we are not the right choice.
See the full answer →No. You send a photo or a short video with your order number, we identify the failed part, and the replacement ships free of charge. Nothing crosses an ocean at your expense. That is the part of a warranty that decides whether it is real, far more than the number of years printed on it.

A brand new store with dozens of glowing reviews is either very lucky or lying, and the second is far more common. Rather than manufacture social proof, we hand you the three things that actually cost us money if the product disappoints you.
