McDavid Knee Brace, Knee Support & Compression for Knee Stability, Patella Tendon Support

Great brace, my son wears for football. Says it’s the best knee brace he has had. We have tried dozens

Followed the measurements guide and ordered an XL. It’s snug and fits well but I would say if you are on the edge, order the larger size. Knee Brace works well just like my old McDavid brace did. Shipping was as advertised. I highly recommend.

This got complicated. I first ordered the Large (15 - 17") as people said they fit tight. My knee is 15 1/4" so that seemed to make sense as the medium was rated 14-15. It fits OK, but I need to crank the straps over pretty tight & then I have a tuck on the top of my thigh, which hasn't been a bother so far. After a few uses I found that I need to crank it tighter & the Velcro is now going over the female side & pulling away at the stitching on the bottom, which will make it wear out sooner I guess. So, I ordered a medium just to see what it was like & wow was it tight! I could not get it up all the way so I sent it back (hurray Prime). To me the sizes should be 12-14, 14-16, 16-18, 18 - 20, etc. but I guess they have reasons for making them the way they do. For the money however it is a great support & way better than the Ortho one I had before.

This knee brace was purchased for my teenage athletic son before surgery. Hr was having instability issues of the knee and was able to get back on the basketball court and play for a month prior to surgery. The brace held his knee in place but is flexible. Snug fit, recommend sizing up if you are not sure.

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.

I wear one of these on both knees every day. They are a Little tough to get on and off. Especially when my knees are swollen. This is the third or fourth pair I've owned. They work well, and relieve/prevent pain like I think they should. The Metal Stays are a different story. This pair has not lasted a month, before they poked out the bottom of the pocket they are in. 2 on one brace, and 1 on the other? That issue took 4-5 months to happen on the last pair I bought. Quality and fit have gone down hill since I bought my first pair, many many Moons Ago (at Sport Chalet) sorry if that makes you feel OLD. Got well over a year out that pair. Edit: bought another recently pair I've worn them for ONE WEEK, plus a day or two and the stays are already popping out. Build quality is getting worse with every pair.

It was for my husband and it fit very good and give him the support he needed.Very good product.

I 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.
