very sturdy

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2024

This is a very sturdy brace and does the job well. The only thing that I dislike about it is it does run small. I'm going to order another one only one size up, as it is very uncomfortable after a while because of the tightness. But it holds everything in place like it is suppose to. And it is not so bulky, that I can wear it under my pants and no one know it is there.

It runs small,

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2023

It's well made but it runs to small, if the chart indicates large based on your measurements you probably will need an XLarge. that was in my case but remember that not all legs and knees are the same.
I did not like the side hinges, even well padded they provided pressure points on both sides of my knee.

Finally a quality brace for a great price!

Size: SmallVerified Purchase

My old brace was all stretched out and not providing the correct support anymore. I have tried a lot of different braces. This brace is fantastic! The support is amazing. Perfect fit. Easy to get on and adjust. Very happy. I have tibia plateau fractures, distal femur fractures and torn mcl. This is a great brace.

Product looks and feels great but sizing is an issue,
I measured my knee as stated on web site and on Amazon, 14.5 in. So I ordered a medium.. to small and way to tight!! Order the next size up…I’m a little disappointed in the size but I think with the right size it’s going to be a game changer!! Very stable and holds everything in place great! Now I just need to figure out how to exchange it on Amazon and get the next size bigger….

Just what I was Looking for

Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2023

Size: XLVerified Purchase

This is just what I was looking for. It has hinges on both sides to help support My knee. I have an undiagnosed meniscus tear on the inside of my right knee. periodically it likes to pop out / lock when I am playing Basketball or when doing Tae Kwon Do. Requires me to get it back into place before continuing and can be rather painful. For me this is what I needed. It is so far the most comfortable I have tried. I have used it for about 6 months now actively playing ball twice a week and it has given me the support I need for those side to side movements that happen a lot. I cannot compare to a professional brace but I am very satisfied with the results I get when using this one.

I particularly like the support from the crisscross velcro elastic both below and above the knee. Make sure you follow the instructions to measure your knee for the right size. just for reference I am 61 years old and was thinking I would be stopping playing but this has allowed me to continue playing the game I love. I also like the donut hole padding around the knee cap. it helps it to not get to hot and has helped protect my knee on multiple occasions.

I would definitely recommend this brace and when mine wears out I won't hesitate to buy another one.

Very good knee and leg support

Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2024

Size: XX-LargeVerified Purchase

Like many people I have also had knee surgery. Knee braces are kind of a hit or miss with me. They can either be pretty good; or of little value. This particular brace gives me back some confidence in my stride and movement. I got the brace today and immediately put it on. It made a significant difference right away. I will have to see what happens with durability.

Good quality, I need to wear knee stabilization every day & these seem to work fine and last a long time(have worn them first about 10 years) as good as medical quality devices

EXACTLY what I had been searching for

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2024

Size: XLVerified Purchase

When I realized I needed a new brace, I went searching for value. 4 braces tried from 2 different names I'd never heard of and not one of them fit properly. They all had 4 stars, but several reviews touched on the ill fit.

Defeated, I went online searching and came across McDavid - a name I'd heard of before and decided to do a brand specific search for them on Amazon. My McDavid brace is the 5th brace I've ordered in 8 days (and 3rd name). The first 4 sent back, but this one is NOT being sent back.

It fits everywhere I need it to and the support is EXACTLY what I was looking for.

In the end, I spent more than I was wanting to, but the fit, materials, and construction of the brace is completely worth the price, and if I am ever in the position of needing another I will not hesitate one bit to get another. No question!

If you are still athletically active and plan on using your brace during competition - go with this brace.

Seller, please read my review to assist you & customers

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2024

Dear Seller, for your info.
1. I initially ordered your medium size brace. Being new it was a bit stiff and hard to get on. After exercising and lots of sweat, it was VERY difficult and painful to get the brace off, so I asked for a return on the medium and ordered the large, which I received yesterday.
2. I still had the medium brace to compare it with the large just to be sure which provided the best fit.
3. I opened the package for the large and could see the brace had been obviously USED!! I didn’t even try it on because i was so disgusted with this yucky used brace that I put it right back in the bag. I will be sending it back to you for a refund.
4. Most IMPORTANTLY, I put a knee sleeve (super thin) on and put the medium back on over it. After biking and sweating I was able to remove the medium without ANY struggle or difficulty at ALL!!!!
4. THE END RESULT. If the brace is worn directly contacting the knee, after exercising, it is a BIG problem taking off. Using the knee sleeve made all the difference in the world and I was able to remove the brace without any struggle.
5. I did notice in the reviews of your brace that many of your customers complained of sizing issues, especially saying the brace ran small. You might want to suggest customers try a thin sleeve with your product. Even better, it would be best for you and your customers to provide one with your brace.
6. The brace is a five-star product WITH a knee sleeve. Without the sleeve it’s a four of three-star.

Great support

Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2024

If you look for maximum knee support to practice sports, this is a good choice. Otherwise, you may look for something "softer" (it limitates a bit the knee movement)
