Great knee brace. Works well. Easy to use. Helps with pain relief. Size and comfort is amazing. The design and durability is great for my husband. Great value for your money.

After wearing this knee brace for only 1 week, the pain in my knee from a minor torn meniscus has subsided immensely! It has allowed me to exercise moderately, mostly walking and body weight only leg exercises, without pain. The worst pain and stiffness I previously had from the tear was right after sitting at my work desk for extended periods of an hour or more and then standing. Now, with the brace on, that has almost completely gone away too. I can hardly believe it after dealing with the pain for months.The only one minor design flaw is at the top on the inside part of the thigh where the hinge is, there's about an extra inch of fabric that extends above the hinge and it rubbed a small raw spot on my skin from walking. That extra "flap" of fabric really doesn't need to be there, so I just folded it down over the hinge to keep it from rubbing. Pics attached to show what I mean (just don't judge my Sasquatch nature). Again, minor and with a simple fix, so not worth taking away a star. It may not really be a design flaw, I'm only 5' 6", so it could be rubbing due to my short legs with thick and hairy Hobbit-like thighs, taller people with skinny hairless legs may not have the same issue.The fitting based on the size chart indicated a medium was the right size and it was spot on for me. Some reviews said to order a size up, I don't think that's accurate. Sure, it's a tight fit, but it's supposed to be. It does wear in and relax a little after a day or two wearing the brace. 100% worth the money.

Seems to be a nice brace!I had 2 previous knee injuries, followed by surgeries each time. Now I got my knee twisted again at work. I feel like I need some support in the future to prevent such accidents. I already got a brace by my orthopedist but it's a rather bad one (at least for my needs, same price range than this Shock Doctor brace) so I need a better one!I hope this helps some other people who think about buying this brace:PROs:- nice tight fit till now, no sliding down- straps give nice support- hinges are padded, so they really don't cut in the skin or the whole joint- hinges are made of metal, so no stupid fragile plastic stuff but strong and stabilizing hinges!- facric seems stretchy but firm at the same time (can't say much about the durability right now, haven't had it long enough)- no ressure marks so far, not even in the hollow of the kneeCONs:please don't be shocked by the negative points, I only want to give a good impession of the brace, so that you can decide for yourself if this one will work for you or not- it's a sleeve, so you have to pull it over your calf and your knee, not a pleasant experience while you're still in pain from the injury or surgery. In this case you should go for a brace you can fully open and wrap around the joint and save braces like this for later- as it is a sleeve you have to wear it on your bare skin under your clothes. So you need really baggy/ wide pants because it's quite a bulky brace, or very tight pants where you can pull the brace over. I figured out that yoga/ running pants work best for me but I probably can't wear them while working, still have to find a proper solution for this problem- the sizing is horrible, it's not fir for the average adult! I'm 5'5'' and 170lbs but not fat, my thighs are well trained so I had to order XXL (the other one I got from my orthopedist was only size M). Now here's the probem: the brace fits quite good on my calf, on the knee joint itself it could ne a bit more tight (I can stick two fingers under it, that's way too much), on the thigh on the other side it cuts in a little bit. I hope the fabric will stretch up there to make it a little more comfortable.I hope I could help someone with this review, the stupid thing is that you always have to try those braces on to figure out if it's working for you, no matter what others write. I'm sorry I can't say anything about wearing this brace during different types of exercise, but I think everyone with a knee injury should take a step back and remember that this is a very fragile part of your body, even more after injury. I can understand the urge to get back to excercise (I'm like this myself) but no knee brace in the world can prevent further injuries. Please keep that in mind!Get well soon everyone!

I’ve been using the Shock Doctor Knee Brace for a few weeks now and I’m thoroughly impressed. The level of support it provides is outstanding—especially with the dual hinges and side stabilizers. It gives my knee the stability I need during workouts and daily activities without limiting my range of motion.The brace fits snugly but comfortably, thanks to the adjustable straps. The compression is just right, and the materials feel high-quality and breathable. I also appreciate the open patella design, which helps relieve pressure and keeps the joint cool.If you need maximum knee support, whether for injury recovery or added stability, this brace is a game changer. Highly recommended!
