There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
After much reading of reviews, I determined this is would probably work fine. I liked the one with interchangeable hinge, but I have one lighter duty unit already. This seem reasonably compact, has knee cap protection and seem like it would be comfortable since the fabric stretches rather than fold below the strap. My analysis turned out to be correct. I now can perform exercises like elliptical with good support and it was comfortable, more than the bulky older braces I had in the past.
There are a few things you have to be aware: this is elastic and will be tight against you leg, when you sweat in it, it will be somewhat difficult to remove. It is suggested to be only worn for a couple of hours, you should not wear it all day, especially to sleep. I wear the other lighter unit all day when I go to work, I would not wear this one. Finally, these are wear item, even the $750 medical version. How long it lasts, depends on how much you use it.
For the savings, I rather have this and other lighter versions rather than the expensive medical unit I wouldn't wear often like the two combination I have bought. BTW, my knees are getting better with my combination.
I tested it out today on a run. It was a bit heavy and tight. I adjusted the straps that relieved some of the pressure. It has great support around the knee area. It has hinges on the inner and outer brace which stabilizes the knee.
As I said I tested it on a run today. A bit heavy but very effective. It was a bit difficult to remove and that could be due to sweat. It’s true to size I ordered a medium and maybe a large would’ve given a little wiggle room. I would definitely measure your knee/leg prior to ordering .
I’m looking forward to running without it but for now I’ll let it do what it do and that’s to stabilize and help with recovery.
Please be mindful it’s not only for runners but for anyone with knee injuries or issues. Perfect use to recover from surgery...
Before this one, I got my wife the two different ones you can get from Wal-Mart / Wal-Greens, etc. and both were useless for real support and fit. Those had wrap and lock like ties to keep it on your leg and just did not fit. Their one size fit all did not work and I returned them the next day and order this one.
The order came in two days with just regular delivery selected - so save yourself some money and don't spend the money for expedited deliver for $24.99. Very happy with this seller and will look for them in the future.
With the large, on my elliptical trainer, my bone on bone knee goes: click-click-click. All tho it is great while walking. The medium works OK, but is very tight; the medium might be OK for basketball.
What I do is to put on a simple McDavid neoprene sleeve and over that put a Ace sleeve with sideways support (ACE Knitted Knee Brace with Side Stabilizers)
Durable velcro connection.

I would definitely recommend
* No support while climbing stairs, hinges not doing their job, poor design :(
* Not skin friendly, within 30 minutes sweating in full contact skin.
* Price also on higher side.
* Received delivery on 7th day.
