FUTURO Comfort Knee with Stabilizers, Medium

Often this type of knee brace is uncomfortable to wear, chafes behind the knee or retains moisture. This knee brace is has none of these faults. It is comfortable enough to wear all day; it provides good levels of support; and it is easily washable. I bought this to replace another Futuro knee brace which I had found to be very comfortable. But I depend on it now and have to have a backup when I wash the other one. So I needed to buy a second knee brace. In the intervening years, Futuro had changed a number of things about this product. Also, it was not available in the size I needed in Canada. So I ordered from Amazon.com. The whole process could not have been easier. This brace does not provide support for seriously compromised knee joints, but for my situation it is perfect.

I’ve been buying the ‘open patella w/side stabilizer bar’ sleeve/braces for years, from this co. Futuro, & Ace, also Walgreens/Rite Aid. The 1 & ONLY COMPLAINT, i ever have is, NONE of the companies Ever make bigger than size LARGE. I’m a big guy, always had thicker bigger legs, thighs etc, so, why on earth do they not make an xl, even bigger, xxl etc etc. Majority of knee pain comes from ppl heavier than most. However, it still fits, albeit tight, it winds up “breaking in/stretching” & they last long. For my purposes, these are the best working sleeves, i’ve literally tried ALL KINDS, Types, sizes, strengths, PRESCRIBED ones, these are the only ones that do it for me!! I had arthroscopic on my right knee in the 90’s, & well, like most body parts they’re never the same, except how well u take care of urself, & maintain & keep whatever body part u had surgery on, strengthened. The Nylon, stretch, open patella/side stabilizer braces give me the best, most comfortable, support, DAILY, year round. I take it off obviously to shower, swim, & sleep. The 3M Futoro in my opinion is very well made, nice material, non-irritating, high quality. Well stitched & put together. PLEASE PLEASE one day i hope they make a larger size, it’d be PERFECT! 🙏🏽

Had to return the first one due to sizing. The reviews stating that this runs very small are correct. I exchanged the medium for a large and it's better, but still a little constricting where the bottom of the brace fits around my calf. I have normal size calves but the seam is tight and leaves a groove around my calf. I've considered cutting a slit in the seam to loosen it up a bit because otherwise I really like the brace, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea or not. I'm keeping this one because it's comfortable (except for the bottom seam) and flexible but also stabilizing. It's really exactly what I was looking for aside from the tightness around my calf.

I got the M Size when I felt a intense sharp pain which took me to ER. Found that I aggravated a bursitis! Not able to hold my weight neither walk without waking sick. THIS KNEE SUPPORT REALLY HELPED ME! I used ALL DAY LONG and mi job is very physical; bending, squatting, walking, sitting. I don't know about having a without or so, but I getting a second one now after few years passed in my other knee...2 more years before really retirement Oh Yessssss.....

Item as described but size Medium gave me linear bruises in my legs despite following size instructions

I normally wear a medium for a knee brace, so I ordered a medium. It’s more like a child’s size than an adult. I can’t even get it up to my knee. The return options? I have to send a USPS and pay almost 6 dollars. I will never order from the seller again. Bad business.

Important note: Amazon will not accept a return for this item because it is a drugstore/health item. Would have been nice for the description to say so before I ordered it! For the price, this seems like a well-made product. I bought it because it could be washed and wasn't made of neoprene. The fabric feels soft and the stabilizer seems to offer a lot of support. I did not actually wear it though because it is way too small - the reason for the three-star review. I measured as directed and was right on the border between a small and medium, so I bought the medium. The top of the brace gives my thigh a huge muffin top and there is no way I could wear it for hiking or walking due to the tightness. I ended up buying the Futuro support sleeve without the stabilizer at the grocery store where I could try it on and it fits/works better for my needs. If the fit works for you and you need the support of the stabilizers, I could see this being a good brace. Consider ordering at least a size up if you have muscular thighs.

This gives me the knee support I need and in doing so relieves the pain that I otherwise have in the knee. The support's elastic along with its vertical braces really help. I chose a Medium size for my 16-inch knee (measurement around the knee) and the sizing is near-perfect, just a tad tight. I had tried another brand before I bought the Futuro and the other brand's Medium was way too tight. This Futuro is easy to pull on, but just a tad difficult to take off. To keep the support clean, the instructions are for hand washable. I did throw it into the regular machine wash load and it came out fine. But in doing so I may be limiting the life of the support. But so far, no problems. I'm not recommending machine wash - I'm just not up to doing any laundry by hand. If you have a sore knee, try the Futuro - this provides good support.

I think it is tow in one but it's good I using it in sports

Great product. I get the support I need.

We have bought it plenty times and as always, satisfaction!

Good material but it is too tight for me and not returnable

This is a brilliant support for my knee, it’s the second one I’ve brought,well worth the money.
