Stretchy neoprene construction offers compression and warmth, promoting circulation and thus enhancing the healing process
Infrapatellar buttress helps support the patella and may improve patellar tracking, and it’s lined with CoolMax for moisture management

May help reduce symptoms of tendinitis, arthritis and chondromalacia
Customers say
Customers find the knee support comfortable during workouts and daily wear, providing effective support and eliminating post-run knee pain. Moreover, the brace works well and customers consider it good value for money. However, the sizing runs small, and customers report issues with it slipping down. Additionally, the build quality receives mixed feedback, with some finding it well-made while others report poor construction.

Good fit and support
These are a replacement for the same knee supports I purchased five years ago. I wear them everyday for my four mile run. They give great knee support and keeps my knees warm in the Fall/Winter/Spring season. They are not too warm for the Summer. Highly recommended.

Not returnable – runs very small
Read the fine print- this is not returnable, even though it says eligible for refund or return. This either runs small, or the measurement instructions are wrong. I couldnât even get this on so could not tell you anything about stability, support or comfort. I followed the measuring instructions, and bought the size recommended. It was very difficult to get over my calf. I pushed and pulled and squeezed and shimmied and finally got it on my knee, but could not get it up far enough for my kneecap to line up with the cutout.I wasted money on something I canât use, but did learn something about Amazon – even though an item is listed as âeligible for return,â you must follow the link to see the full description that says it can only be returned if damaged or defective.

Well made and perfectly sized neoprene knee support
My old neoprene knee brace has had enough use and washings so it isn’t quite the support I used to have. This short sleeve knee support is well-constructed and the rubber bumper under the patella seems to stabilize the patella permitting lots of movement with minimum stress on the knee. It does have some lining but it’s not thick. There are no metal/plastic braces to worry about and I’m not sure they do that much good anyway. While I’m not saying I can do things now that I couldn’t do, I feel more secure and can still play 2 hrs of doubles tennis so I’m pleased. This is a much better value than most of the other knee sleeve supports I have investigated. Fast & free shipping via Amazon since I combined products with free shipping. I’ll certainly buy another one when the time comes.

Does its job.
I received this upon my Dr.’s recommendation. The first time I put it on was a bit difficult but after that it have “loosened” enough to where it slips right on but still stabilizes while being worn. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because the top part (above the knee) slides down over the kneecap so I find myself adjusting it during my workouts. More of a nuisance than anything. It is comfortable enough during workouts and daily wear. I would recommend it to someone with patellar tracking issues.

Bunches up behind knee
The sleeve fits which is great. I wore it one day and it bunches up really bad behind the knee which becomes really uncomfortable. That is also where the seams are at. It’s made of durable Neoprene. I may just try cutting out a patch behind the knee to see if that helps with the bunching. Otherwise it’s a really nice support sleeve.

Definitely Needed the Support
I was training for a half marathon and needed support after I injured me knee by having my leg hyper-extend outward (meniscus injury I believe). I couldn’t run for weeks and finally succumbed to the notion that I needed a brace if I wanted to run in my race. Luckily, someone else had written a review with her same measurements as I, so I bought what she bought… 5’7″, 135lbs, bought a small. Tight squeeze, but comfortable. At first I didn’t believe that this brace could actually give me support for running, but it magically did. I was able to run for miles and not feel pain, and I performed my half marathon easily. The only thing I did not like about the construction of this brace was the crease line on the back of the knee…my knee bends and then inevitably rubs against this crease creating some discomfort, but nothing like feeling the pain in my knee. Definitely small and not bulky, which was another main reason I bought this brace. It absorbs a lot of your sweat, so after a 13 mile run it is indeed wet. Right after I am done running and walking to cool down, I flip the brace down to my ankle and eventually take it off. WORTH IT!

Sizes are MUCH SMALLER than indicated.
A pair of these supports were ordered by me for a friend’s mother. The leg measured 20″ above the knee. So we bought a pair of Large. They did not fit and could not be returned. So we ordered a pair of XL and that do not fit either and cannot be returned. I gotta tell you that the size description is NOT accurate. The measurements do not coincide with the indicated sizes. So now my friend is out $60+ and has two products that cannot be used. I would not recommend that these supports be purchased based on the listed sizes. The XL will probably fit someone with 17″, or smaller legs. I would like a refund based on INACCURATE SIZE CHART listings for this product. I will return both pairs. They were never worn since they would not fit on the legs.

ok for walking, horrible for running
I purchased based on the reviews here. It felt nice and snug and supportive when I first put it on. As I began my run, I could feel it dropping. In less than 1/2 a mile, it was bunched up below my knee. Might work ok for walking, but completely useless for running. Returned and ordered the Mueller Max Knee Strap.

Great fit and quality… am a fan of Pro-Tec products!
Mr Kevin Palmer –
Make sure you get the right size. When you do, they just support the knee brilliantly on a run. Great product though and inexpensive compared to the ones that make you look like you have a terminators knees.

This is a pretty thick quality brace, however, the issue for me was that it kept sliding and rolling. I have very muscular thighs, so I think that might’ve been part of the issue.

This is too small as far as length to add much support and is very lightweight. The additional patellar support around the kneecap must be a hollow tube as there is nothing to it.
