Sparthos Knee Brace - Relieves ACL, MCL, Meniscus Tear, Arthritis, Tendonitis Pain - Open Patellar Design with Dual Hinged - Support Compression for Running, Working Out, For Men and Women (Beige-S)OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100

I tore my meniscus and the hospital gave me that horrible brace that takes up your whole leg and doesn’t even stay on. So I found this item on Amazon and it is so comfortable, doesn’t slip off, my knee feels super secure, it has the most comfortable amount of compression and support! It isn’t too bulky to where I can’t walk with it on. It works well when I walk and sit. It was definitely worth the few dollars I paid for it. I am 5’1 200 pounds I wear a size 16 pants and I got a large : it fits perfectly snug but no room to grow in it at all, so if you want it to fit a little more lose get the xl. But I like the tight fit and it’s not cutting my circulation off, it’s just that there wasn’t any strap left hanging out. I absolutely love that but some people don’t like it so hopefully this helps

I purchased this approximately 4 weeks after reconstructive ACL surgery. The brace from my orthopedic surgeons office is big and bulky so I was looking for something supportive for sleep. I sized up because I was worried the size I usually wear (XL) wouldn't fit. I definitely should have ordered the proper size but it still works really well! It's comfortable, supportive and doesn't slide like most of the braces I've tried.

This works for bad knees. Relieved the pressure when I walked and helped to speed up the healing. Only issue is the Velcro hooks that fasten the brace has to be almost exact or the hoke pile will be exposed and scratch the back of your knee, very uncomfortable, but I took a sock that would stretch and cover the area the brace went over and cut the toe and put it on first. This made wearing the brace very comfortable.

It’s actually a really good quality knee brace for the price! The Velcro fit pretty good and hold tight and the comfort straps give you that lil extra. I wish they would’ve left a lil border between the edge of the Velcro and the flaps. Cause I’ve noticed the roughy part of the Velcro starts to rub on the back of my knee and hurt. Probably my fault, being I probably need the next size up just for comfort. But overall a well made product.

The 3 star rating is based on my practical use of this knee brace. I wanted something sturdy and supportive and this brace certainly provides that. The size chart also seems to be accurate. The problem I had is the design of the brace is just too much. I watched the video and it looked simple enough to use, however, in practice, it is quite cumbersome to put on. Once on, it works and feels good. But there are so many velcro straps and some are too long, that you spend time untangling it all. You first wrap the brace around your knee and where the 2 ends meet behind the knee and you overlap them using the velcro strips on the brace to hold it in place, both at the top and at the bottom. Meanwhile, you are navigating around the 4 extra long velcro straps that are hanging. Once you have secured the brace at the top and bottom by overlapping it behind your knee, then you start the process of feeding the 4 velcro straps through their designated hoops. If you find the brace isn't snug enough you have to re-do the overlapping portions behind your knee. If you try to make the brace more snug by tightening the velcro straps, then the sections you overlapped become bunched up. Like I said, once I could get it properly adjusted, it felt great and offered great support. But I found the process of putting it on more than I wanted to deal with on a daily basis. I had to return it...too much work. Sizing chart was accurate for me.

Great product for the price. I wore this for six hours and it made an incredible difference in my knee pain. Yes, there are a lot of Velcro straps, but very easy to get it on, just takes a little longer than others. It is big, covers a large part of your leg, but I think that is why it is so effective. Definitely worth the time to put it on. I do have a different, smaller brace I use when getting a little more dressed up, and not using it a long time. For day to day, this is my go to.

Excellent fit, good stability, comfortable and color is perfect for not calling attention to it!

Fit is great and minimal slipping. Keeps knee secure but allows to bend slightly and have mobility. Fits directly on leg or over thin snug fitting pants. The only complaint I have is that it is so hot it makes it uncomfortable to wear. After wearing it for about 30 minutes just on my bare skin there was so much sweat under it that it was like my leg got a derma peel. Sweating hot with thin cloth under it also. Maybe if it wasn’t summer and extremely hot it would be ok but it is not breathable material at all. All in all I’m happy I purchased this as opposed to the hinged brace provided by orthopedic office.
