They have made the new VELCRO straps way too SHORTThe older McDavid knee braces as pictured here were THE BEST EVER. The latest one have straps that are WAY TOO SHORT! I have worn the SAME EXACT SIZE of McDAVID BRACES FOR 5 YEARS ---every single day---and the straps that attached to the Velcro bottom straps USED to be about 8-9 inches long or smore---now they are about 4 inches so it causes them NOT TO STAY attached to the Velcro. This is NOT providing the protection those of us with terrible knee pain need. No other brand can compare to the OLD McDavid with longer straps! I have no idea what I am going to purchase now for my terrible knee pain since I do NOT want a knee replacement. 2Nice fit, reasonable price, feels good & seems to helpI got this 2 strap version to use at the gym and while working out in the yard. Just rec'd and made one trip to the gym. I'll update / edit later if my opinion changes. The brace did not slip down at all while doing elliptical at the gym. The straps kept it in place, unlike my older strapless neoprene sleeve. The side 'springs' seem to add some stability to this as well. I have a bulkier / sturdier / expensive Corflex hinged braced from the VA and this is almost as good for support or pain relief. This less costly ($23) one from McDavid will be great if it lasts 6-12 months of rugged wear. I did not feel restricted while wearing at the gym. I think this is the same as the Shock Doctor brand. The brace did have a rubbery odor when I unpackaged it. I hosed it down with Lysol and its fine now. I measured approx 17-17.5 / XL and its pretty snug. I may opt for XXL when I have to replace this one. I would think one could order up and use the straps to tighten it without any trouble. 5NOT Love at 1st sight but ...When I first took this beast out of it's package I was thinking to myself, "Hmmm. This MIGHT be a little overkill. Good thing I didn't get the next sturdier one up." I was right. Next, I put it on and tried strapping it up. (Without reading the enclosed instructions printed inside the package's insert that I didn't see right away.) It wasn't looking and feeling as though I was going to be very happy with my buying decision. So I looked for and found the instructions which were a little awkward at first, but I discovered McDavid did their best in their effort to assist the consumer AND the instructions really weren't so bad after all; there's FAR worse written instructions to be found for consumer products.So, I hooked up the straps as instructed and found satisfaction with my choice beyond my first impression. I wore it to walk up and down 4 flights of stairs and found comfort. I'm a male, presently at the age of 59 years old with one knee a "little" overused and one knee a LOT overused to some extent; I exercise using a treadmill and knee press as regularly as possible.One repeated set back were my knees. This McDavid support will PROBABLY feel and MAYBE appear a little bulky to a younger high school athlete for instance BUT if there is an issue with their/your knee(s) this could or could NOT be right for you.For an older, larger person with moderate but NOT a severe injury, severe like recovering from a serious injury after a car wreck where you couldn't walk for a while,period. Then yeah, the top of the line super bulky one would probably be for you as a prosthetic of sorts, then as your condition improves go to this one as your ability to walk gradually improves. I'm NOT a doctor BUT I DO have personal experience with such issues so I feel qualified to comment on this with some authority that this should fit or not fill the bill for you with the conditions mentioned.For me, I anticipate a break-in period here for use of this support. It IS a little restrictive, BUT I was pleasantly surprised with how it felt when I started walking around with it on. It got a "Wow!" Rating to automatically register somewhere in my brain receptors. I'm serious.THAT was for the knee in worse condition of the two. My other knee isn't quite as problematic BUT there IS tenderness issues. For that knee I got the Nike open patella and I don't regret it one bit. It's perfect, really, BUT this is about the more troublesome knee which is usable BUT has been troublesome and causing problems for me for some time. It's a good buying decision for larger people and probably late teen athletes with a near serious condition. It would DEFINITELY look and feel bulky on a high school level girl or guy unless they're completely sidelined with some injury.If you plan on playing soccer or running track with this thing on, I would make other plans with another, lighter device: even the Nike might be overkill if you're active, not rehabbing. For a rehab period, this a DEFINITE two thumbs up. For active participation in a competitive sport, personally I think you'd find this one too cumbersome. (The sizing chart is reliable. I forgot where I saw it though. It's either in another review or listed under Product Information above by the manufacturer. You'll appreciate a tailor's tape measure. You can order one for just a few dollar - if you're buying stuff like this support now you'll be doing more measuring later so it's a good idea to order a measuring tape.)HOPEFULLY, I will be able to graduate to NOT having to wear this to go out for a run which doesn't appear to be a practical thing to do with this support on. It WILL be just fine for the treadmill though, JUST what the doctor ordered. I can switch to something lighter for that run in the way of knee support but I know already that this is going to improve my performance like I said on the treadmill: I felt it climbing the stairs. BIG improvement. I hope this has been helpful.WFN 5Best of the lightweight braces - won t work for medial/lateral supportPurchased for a degenerating left knee that has had to over compensate for a right knee that has had multiple ACL repair sx on it.I wanted to have some additional support on my left knee while doing intensive exercise as I can feel the grinding and slipping ever-so-slightly any time I was crouching (doing squats or lunges). My search was for a brace that would provide medial/lateral support foremost.This brace while very true to size and good for providing patellar support does not give me confidence for the side-to-side support I was looking for. Soft Support means two ridges of thicker material running along the sides of the brace but no structural support.I returned this item after trying it on for one minute and have ordered a few of the 3/3+ level braces to see if these will work (major downside here is more hardware = more weight).Would more than likely provide excellent support as a beefed up knee brace for minor issues but not adequate for sx recovery or larger issues that could pose major problems if left unchecked. 3Excellent But Use With Caution!Nicely constructed with quality materials. The sizing instructions you use to calculate your fit was accurate. Knee Braces fit tight and snug as you would expect it to do. I instantly felt an improvement once installed but not 100% - I would 75-80% which made s HUGE difference pain-wise. My pain was definitely more bearable!However... just a word of caution. Do not use this device against bare skin, it will cause blisters! A friend of mine had the same experience. She suggested that I pre-wrap the area where the Knee Brace comes in contact with the skin to prevent blistering which are extremely painful after the blister pops.Taking this precaution to heart, you will find this brand or any other brand for that matter, a very helpful tool to combat joint pain. 5WELL WORTH THE $30My knee measurement around the patella is 15.5 inches, which puts me at the low end of the LARGE size range of 15-17 inches. IT FITS PERFECTLY. I have somewhat boney protruding knees. Other people may have less protruding knees but may have larger calves and quads, which may explain their difficulty in getting their specific size onto their leg.The Velcro is military industrial complex grade quality. It holds like iron. It took some effort to get the straps unhooked in order to get the thing on my leg. I was considering the Neo G but thought otherwise because of its negative Velcro reviews.It is very comfortable. Even when I cranked the straps about as tightly as I could, it still felt nice and firm and stable and supportive and comfortable. It never ever became constrictive nor did I ever feel my leg falling asleep due to blood circulation being cut off.I wore it for about 9 hours while at work, well past the recommended 2 hours. It is compact and fit easily under my trousers. I was expecting it to become irritating to the skin but it never did. The rear panel is of a softer material which allowed greater comfort and less abrasion when bending the knee.When I took it off I expected my leg to be itchy and discolored from wearing a tight brace all day but that did not occur. There was only the slight indentation from the brace's "donut" cushion around the patella. I have other braces that cause much itchyness.Even after 9 hours, it never shifted or moved, neither up or down nor side to side, from the position I put it on at the beginning of the day.The only negative comment I have is, out of the box, it has a smell similar to paint thinner. I am sure this will dissipate over time. But this brace is so well constructed and so heavy duty, it looks like it will last a lifetime. Great stitching and design.I can see how people can get addicted to this because of the total comfort and extreme support. Today I am not wearing it to see if my knee has improved because of my wearing it yesterday. So far my knee feels good without it but I know I will need to wear it again in the near future. I am sure I could wear it every day, all day, with no adverse affects. 5Perfect Product and a Perfect PriceWithout this knee brace, I wouldn't be able to play tennis anymore, run anymore, or do taekwondo. This thing goes with me everywhere. Plus, the price on here is way better than found in the store. Sports Authority was trying to sell this for $60. Plus, I also put this in the washing machine, but not the dryer. 5Your knees will feel em-braced in support, be careful if you're close to a larger size.I've been using the brace a few weeks at this point. A little back story, I tore my ACL 7 years ago, and had it replaced less than a year ago. So I just got released back to normal activity a few months ago and am now back doing martial arts 2-3 days a week. I was looking for something to provide a little protection and piece of mind.Overall it seems to do a good job for a neoprene brace. It's a bit longer than some of the other braces I've had in the past, and I like that about this one. The crossing elastic does a good job providing compression in the right areas. The images don't show it well but the 4 crossing straps are velcro-ed under the top and bottom securing strap. This does seem to be a good thing as it can help control how you want the compression just above and below the knee.When wearing this I hardly notice it's there. Sure, it's a little bit of bulk, but it doesn't bulge, the velcro so far seems to be the best I've seen on a brace and hasn't caught or poked once. It stays put through all sorts of activities. Even after a solid workout it still feels sturdy and ready for another round.The one downside I can say might the sizing, I ordered the large, measured my knee and even my calf to make sure it wouldn't get hung up. I ended up with 16 for the whole area I thought the brace would cover. It fits but is definitely providing compression. Is it too much, I can't really say. I can get the brace on ok most days with a quick tug, but getting it off can be difficult. Had my knee been any larger I would definitely need the XL. I'm considering purchasing a second one for the other knee and I may get the XL instead and compare the two before deciding what to do. I'm sort of hoping the neoprene will wear in a little, but so far it's still going strong, and seems very sturdy.Also, this is still a neoprene brace, it probably won't protect you from a hard hit or twist, but hopefully it'll help with the everyday stuff. The side supports don't seem to really add much bulk, but they don't seem to add much support either. I've had others with the flexible supports and they seemed to at least be more noticeable how they added to the knee. Though, it's difficult to tell. As far as a neoprene knee brace this has been the best one I've tried so far (7-8). This kind of brace might be overboard for someone who hasn't had any kind of knee issues, or someone doing lighter sports. Though if you've had issues, or are worried about issues, this might be a good brace for you. 5Satisfied with this knee support.I have been using this knee support for a few days and I've already noticed an improvement. I was using an elastic wrap before and the injury seemed to linger. This support captures heat and warms the knee area. The pressure from the snug fit is also nice. The metal support provides a little resistance, but does not prevent the knee from bending during normal activity.Measure your knee for a correct size. Large fits a knee of 15-17 inches. My knee was just over 15 inches and I can fit the support snugly with the velcro-like straps. Medium would have been too tight. If your knee is on a border size, go with the next size up unless you have thin legs.I will sweat under this support even when I'm inside.The support looks and feels well made. I'm content so far and will update this review if that sentiment changes.Notes from the package:Do not wear for more than 2-3 hours. Hand wash only and drip dry. There is a warning about rubber allergy, dermatitis, and circulation problems. My support was made in Taiwan. And the plastic package was easy to open and can be reused for storage. 5SIZE CHART IS INACCURATEThe size chart in the post is completely inaccurate. I've now ordered this product twice. The XL was listed at 17-20 inches circumference measuring 6 inches above and below the knee cap. I and 20 in. Ordered the XL. Couldn't get it over in knee. No harm no foul reordered 2XL which on the post image shows size 20-20 inches. Should be a fit right. Just got the 2XL. Still too small AND the size chart on the box shows 2XL as 17-20 inches. That's just flat out ridiculous and I've waisted another 2 days with a brace which I need for my workouts. 1
