After military service I have two bad knees. I started with just one of these then eventually got another. They help me get through walks and work outs or just busy days house cleaning. Without them my knees would be easily irritated, swell, and keep me up at night. I can honestly say they a big help, the support wraps work great for my injury and the pressure helps with/and prevents swelling. I only wear them for these purposes. They are not suitable for long term wear because they do roll a bit which makes them pinch the back of my knees occasionally, but they still help where needed.

There is no instruction on how to tie the straps. It took me a very long time to find the Velcro endings,that are folded on themselves. It was very difficult to lift them off from themselves. A little video on the product sales page would be helpful. Once I was able to use them properly, I was quite happy with them. They feel good and are actually easy tie, once you know how to do it.

I have a very arthritic knee from a break when I was a kid. Spring and Fall it acts up something awful and I get a brace yearly. I've tried many. A lot of them after about 4-6 hours make my knee feel WORSE. Or they slide down causing me to constantly adjust. I get annoyed and just take it off.
This is a great brace. It's long. This helps it to stay up as the motion of the knee doesn't make it shift as much. It also has a cross strap that helps it stay up. I had it on 8 hours today and forgot it was even there. It's very comfortable. It helped that ache pain.
My concern is sizing. Mine fits fine. I got the medium. I usually take a small in everything. 5,6 125 lbs. the med JUST fits. I can JUST attach the cross strap wish NO room to spare. This isn't an issue for ME, but when ordering keep this in mind. These run small. You def might want to size up.

With a tear in my knee that isn't bad enough to warrant surgery, this is a big deal. I refuse to give up my exercise routine for something that isn't going to go away even if I do, so I needed to find something that allowed me to continue. I tried several knee braces with little success due to not performing or so uncomfortable I knew I wouldn't wear them. And then I found this one. THE BEST! It has the feel of the compression sleeve plus the crossing bands feel like the tape the physical therapist used to apply. Based on how inexpensive it is, this product is proof cost doesn't always reflect worth. I'm a walking advertisement because when people ask I tell them how great it is. 100% glad I found it and tried it. Won't consider using anything else now.

I tore a meniscus years ago, and have avoided surgery on it. Now, more than 40 years later, I have some pain in my knee, especially with any lateral torque. I have tried many different knee braces; mostly they either cut off circulation or slip down. I tried this brace and I like it. I feel it gives my knee the support it needs laterally so I can walk and attend Silver Sneakers classes without worrying about torqueing my knee. It does not cut off my circulation, and doesn't slip down. I can adjust the lateral support to the location and tension I need for my knee. I have suggested it to another Silver Sneaker parlticipant that has a similar problem. Very satisfied with this product.

The sizing is very small and the straps are not long enough. It ends up being far too tight.
Update: After originally giving this item a lower rating, the seller offered to either replace the item with a larger size or to provide a full refund. Because of the excellent customer service, I've changed my rating. Try a size larger even if you measure your knee.

This compression sleeve is great. I love the straps that wrap around and give added support. The little square that the velcro is supposed to adhere to at the top of the sleeve has come loose at one corner. That makes me think the entire square will eventually fall off completely. I have also noticed that when the velcro from the straps touches anything but that square, it damages the material of the sleeve itself (if you are not exact in your placement of the straps). I've had the sleeve for two weeks and I work out six days a week.

This product protects and secures the knee as described. The Velcro straps adds an additional stabilizing factor for side to side movement. I have only two small issues with the unit. The straps are just long enough to secure them, wish they were a bit longer. The top portion of the brace tends to roll over onto itself after wearing it for a while. I actually reversed the brace and that seemed to help with both of these issues. Overall I would recommend this product to anyone that needs additional support for their knees,

This is the tightest knee brace I've ever used. It is impressively secure, and doesn't feel like it would slide down my knee. I wanna loosen up the straps a bit, but this pressure feels so good like a massage. I'm doing home remodeling, so I will keep it on the rest of the day to see how it feels and behaves. But first impression is very secure and very tight. I bought a large. I'm a normal height and got that beer belly to burn off. So I can't wait to do a long walk this evening.

Only had a couple of days use but if you have knee pain you know immediately if something works or not; this works. I have tried a variety of compression sleeves and braces gradually needing more and more support. This brace is comfortable enough to wear all day but it does bunch up behind the knee.
The complaint in the negative reviews must have been addressed by the manufacturer because the product I received had none of them.
Works for me and my knee:) Thanks.

I have a bakers cyst behind my left knee after a meniscus tear. It was drained while I was having surgery to mend my meniscus. It refilled almost immediately. This brace is the best! I love it as it crosses in the back and supports and compresses where that fluid resides. I ordered 5 more. I'm an avid tennis player, walker and exerciser. Thank you to whomever made this brace, it's a godsend!

Excellent quality. we order a second time. the order came quickly. i recommend the seller.

This is THE brace!!!! I played every sport from the day I could run and unfortunately have seen my share of injuries. I tore my ACL, LCL, and MCL all in one blow to the knee. Until my doorbell rang 30 minutes ago I was in pain constantly just from everyday activity. The second I put it on I felt stability and support like I haven't felt with any other brace. I'm 5'9, 197lbs and I purchased a large. I like it to be snug and fitted and this is exactly what I was looking for!

I received my support sleeves and I like them, it looks good and provides good support. I bought two for playing soccer, and I have only used them once therefore I can't tell how long they will last but so far I'm very pleased. I think I may reinforce the sewing of the straps. Very comfortable and flexible with good support by the sleeve and straps.
Orval Barton
My knees are unstable and I always have to be careful in my physical activities. With these sleeves I can actually increase my ROM. After a hard yoga class my knees had minimal pain and great circulation within the knee. The following morning was going to really tell how good these work. Almost no pain and what pain that was there was so minimal and went away quickly. I am using kines tape for reinforcing specific areas of the knee.

Got these to replace neoprene braces that I wore while cycling. Recently discovered the knitted type, which are way more comfortable and breathable. I wore another brand (Mava, without the straps) and although it's great for walking, it wasn't enough support for my bike ride. The elastic bands on this one makes the difference. I'm able to go 15 miles without pain and they aren't soaked in sweat. I'll be using these from now on.

I recently hurt the upper part of my knee and needed a good knee brace so I got on Amazon and began searching. This knee brace adds enough pressure to my hurting part of my knee but is also very breathable and I am not totally constricted. I'm able to walk without a limp since it isn't so tight on my knee. It doesn't roll down like other knee braces i have bought is a huge plus for me. The extra straps on it help for extra relief too!

My son struggles with Osgood Schlatter’s and have tried different straps braces and insoles. He really likes this brace and it seems to have really helped as I notice his limping post basketball games has decreased dramatically

Ordered the XL after reading reviews - I'm only 5 foot 3 and around 150-155 pounds but needed the XL for sure. It's adjustable so err on the side of larger and you're fine -- it is a GREAT knee brace! Needed it for my right knee issue on squats and deadlifts but it's very stable for anything you need.

Just got this today and just put it on. I have this knee pain on the inner side of my right lower knee. Wife bought me a copper fit and it did nothing. I put this on and the pain is just gone. Going to do a 1-mile walk and some squats to see how it holds up. So I'm giving this product a 5 star and will use the sleeve for a few days. If anything changes to the negative side I'll come back and re-post. But for now, I'm very happy.
