How to use PRESIO
Your first session
Five minutes from box to boots
Everything you need for your first PRESIO session, from unboxing to switch-on.
Find your spot
Sit back on a sofa or bed with your legs supported and roughly level. Keep the control unit within easy reach.
Slip the boots on
Wear them over bare legs or a thin layer. Zip from ankle to thigh — the fit should feel snug, not tight.
Power up
Core: plug the mains cable into a socket. Pro: charge fully via USB-C first — up to 3 hours cordless. Elite: nothing to connect, the motors are built into each boot.
Start on the lowest setting
Your first session is about getting used to the feeling. You can always turn it up next time.
Sit back for 20 minutes
Sessions stop automatically, so you can switch off completely. Most people use PRESIO after training or in the evening.
What to expect
A wave of firm compression moves from your ankles up to your thighs, then releases. Many users describe lighter-feeling legs afterwards.
How to use PRESIO
Choosing your pressure
Firm, never painful
The golden rule
Compression should feel like a strong, comfortable squeeze. If you find yourself tensing up, go down a level.
Stay on the lowest setting while your legs get used to the feeling.
Increase one level at a time, only when the current one feels easy.
After a big session, many users prefer a mid-to-high level for that deeper squeeze.
For an evening on the sofa, a lower level is usually more comfortable.
Core
3 intensity levels with an adaptive pressure sensor that adjusts to your legs.
Pro
5 modes plus selective calf or thigh zones — each leg can run its own setting.
Elite
7 levels per leg, up to 240 mmHg (manufacturer rated), with an LCD on each boot.

Between two sizes?
Size up for a more relaxed fit. Measure your height without shoes. PRESIO Core uses adaptive velcro panels, so a single size fits most legs; every model covers the full leg — 91 cm from ankle to upper thigh.
Check your fit
Zip fully, heel seated
Your heel should sit flat in the foot section with the zip closed from ankle to thigh.
The two-finger rule
Before starting, you should be able to slide two fingers between the boot and your thigh. Snug, not tight.
Bare legs or a thin layer
Wear the boots over bare skin or thin leggings. Avoid thick joggers — they change how the compression feels.
