According to this, no they don't work https://croydonfoot.com/do-circulation-boosters-really-work/

Ask your GP for his advice about your condition, though. In the meantime, try to stand on the bottom step of your stairs (not far to fall!) with your heels overhanging. Raise up on to your tiptoes, hold for as long as comfortable, lower your feet so that your heel is lower than your toes, as far as is comfortable. Hold and repeat. Do this several times a day if it doesn't hurt. It contracts your muscles in your legs and feet and improves circulation naturally.
Walking is an excellent way to improve circulation, too, if you are able. Preferably uphill and down, but no need to go mountaineering.

Thanks for the ino Barry, much appreciated. I had a feeling they wouldn't be any good but just wanted to confirm my suspicions !!
Happy Christmas !

Thanks, fbg, same to you and all the best for 2023. Things can only get better, we hope :)

Flipping heck! I've just seen the price of them. I thought they were around £60, loads of second hand ones on eBay

I know two people who have the, as they have circulatory problems in their legs, and they both say yes, they do help. They both notice a difference if they don’t use them every day. I don’t know what the difference is, as I don’t have one myself.

I know someone who has had very good results with relief of muscle pain and it has improved their walking stamina.

I was a bit sceptical, but am now convinced that it can work if you are treating certain conditions.
