These are the BEST KNEE SUPPORTS bare none *
I have used this exact same knee support for almost 9 years. I needed a new one. Not because mine was worn out, but there really isn’t a way to wash them, other than wiping them with a damp cloth and letting them dry. The company I purchased mine from, doesn’t produce them anymore. This worked the best, so for the last 4 years I’ve been searching for it. They were either made different or the straps were too thin, etc. These are EXACTLY like mine were made. I’m ecstatic to finally find them and a PAIR of them, even though I just need it for my right knee. I have an extra now.
Let me tell you what happened in 2019. My doctor told me he wanted me to have a knee brace made. I said, “I’ve had THREE knee braces made and they’re big clumsy things that go all the way down my leg and I can’t wear them. They end up in the back of my closet!” No! He told me, they make small lightweight ones now. They’ve come a long way in the last few years and it will really help me. Doctors must get a kickback, because he harped & harped, until I gave in. I saw the Orthopedic doctor and TOLD him I wanted something easy to get on & off by myself, lightweight and that wouldn’t end up in the back of my closet again. He assured me, that’s what I’d get. I went for the fitting and then to pick up the knee brace and GUESS WHAT? The blasted thing went from my HIP ALL THE WAY DOWN TO MY ANKLE!!! I was so mad, I could spit. I let the so & so know how mad I was, too. He insisted on putting this over $4,000 brace on me. At the knee was a adjustment that is supposed to SEPARATE the bones in the knee. I knew that sounded bad, but he said that would HELP my knee pain. So, he put that monstrosity on me and I attempted to drive home. 10 minutes into it, I had to pull off the road, because I was in excruciating pain. I took it off & managed to rest a few minutes and make it home. A few days later, I was screaming in pain so badly, my sister called an ambulance. I spent 6 days in the hospital, because they couldn’t get my pain under control. That was in 2019 and I’ve been on strong opioids ever since. Don’t get me wrong, this did not cause the 3 pinched nerves in my back, herniated disk, sciatica or other problems. But, my problems were under control and this thing SET EVERYTHING OFF. It of course has been setting in the back of my closet. Medicare and my supplemental insurance paid all that money and I went through the worst pain of my life, for 10 minutes of use and 6 days in the hospital. The doctor told me that my pain is so intense that I’d better plan on being on opioids the rest of my life and I never wanted that.
These knee straps are a God send and they really do help. Now, I have to say one thing. I’m heavyset and these are nearly too big for me, but they’re OK. If you are a heavyset woman or a man, they should be great. If you are THIN, I do not think they will work for you. The straps will be too long and overlap. They will probably fall down on you and that won’t give you any support. You’ll need to find a shorter band, if you’re thinner.
I do recommend these. Thank you for reading my review.

I can do Squats Again
These work exceptionally well. I’ve returned to the gym after a long hiatus and my knees were taking some serious brunt and letting me know. I thought my squat days might be over. I gave these a shot and I am impressed – no pain at all when squatting and less pain overall throughout the day even though I only wear them during squats. The fit is comfortable and I have no problem with them sliding down, they sometimes bind in the back but a slight tug and they feel ok again. These aren’t for wearing 24/7 so just keep that in mind – I saw some other reviews where people were trying that, these aren’t designed to be worn all the time. You’d need an actual brace for something like that.

Buy it
This gives me the support exactly where I need it without squeezing the life out of my leg. It is fantastic, comfortable and effective!

Great support, needs shorter strap. longer front piece
I have tried several of knee supports for chronic knee pain/chondromalacia. This one gives me the best support for my knee because the supportive interior part is wider and more substantial than others, yet the band itself is not too wide (I am on the short side) . I am not thin or large (athletic size) but the strap goes all the way around and overlaps the front especially after it stretched a bit after the first few wears (too long). Because of that it overlaps the letters which aren’t velcro. That being said it seems to stay on and in place well. Also the front piece should be longer as it doesn’t completely cover the buckle which lies against the skin and digs into the skin. Maybe I wear it too tight but it doesn’t feel supportive when loose. I remove it as soon as my activity is over. I plan to sew extra padding onto the ends. I’ve had this 2 months and use quite often as I play tennis or pickleball almost every day. It has held up well. Despite these shortcomings, it does the job well and I am buying another. One to wear and one to wash. May need even more with the hot sweaty summer.
