Maxdee 2 Pack Patella Knee Strap, Knee Pain Relief with 3D Silicone Adjustable Knee Band, Knee Brace Stabilizer for Men & Women for Running,Hiking,Weightlifting, Basketball,Riding,Volleyball, Pink

I bought these for an ongoing issue I have from an old football injury to my left knee. I'm an aging runner & we all know how vicious Father Time can be. I saw these straps with their curiosly high rating & thought I'd give them a shot. So here it is, my honest, unsolicited & unbiased review. I've included pictures to help illustrate the glaring flaws with these straps. Here they are from least painful to most:1. These straps will simply not stay in place if you plan to use them for running.The top strap that goes over the top of the knee (first picture with the white arrow pointing to the figure 8 looking cushion) slides down over the kneecap causing discomfort & the need to constantly readjust. As you runners know, nothing makes you happier than having to stop, bend over & fiddle with a piece of faulty equipment. Talk about a wardrobe malfunction...2. The design of the back of the strap (second picture with the back of the strap circled) causes bunching of the strap, which causes the strap to slide down & brings us to the absolute deal breaker on these straps & why these are being returned.3. The Velcro strips that are supposed to keep these in place (first & third pictures with the white arrows pointing to the evil little devils) will literally rub any part of your skin they touch until you bleed when you are running. The strips are not covered in any way & I could not find any adjustments that would make these straps palatable. The good news is I did forget about the kneecap pain due to the Velcro strip rub & cut fest. Call me Mr. Brightside.So that's it my Amazon pals, my review of these irritating little enemies of an old running guy. In the words of the great "Schoolhouse Rock", "Knowledge Is Power".

I have to keep pulling this brace up when I am working out. It helps my knee pain but would work better if it stayed in place.

Provides good support.

I like that these braces are soft next to my skin. That will make them much more comfortable to wear for an extended amount of time. They are also very easy to put on. That is always a plus. Then there is the thick gel pads placed just right. Let's not forget...they are pink. Finally, a girlie color. I'd say I'm very pleased with my purchase. Oh, and the price was great. How could I have forgotten that one?

The information that lead me to purchase this dual knee band has a lot to be desired. The sizing information is way off. If you have knee/ calf/ thigh areas, THIS IS NOT THE BAND FOR YOU. If yours measurements are up to 18 below the knee and up to 20-1/2 above the knee you may be able to use this band. People body sizes differ. According to the measurements, this product should fit. The band is way smaller than advertised. If you can get a good fit this band would be a good option because of the workmanship of it, which is why I gave 2 stars. Those with excessively large knees/ thighs, this product is NOT for you! No, I would Not Recommend.

I have battled arthritic knee pain for 8 years. This product is amazing. I wore it to work under my pants. Barely visible and people were admiring how much better that I was moving around. And I was moving basically pain free for the first time in years.

Bought these for extra support during sports. These are really supportive in all the right areas. It gives just enough pressure to stop my knee from giving out — but is also adjustable to allow me to loosen or tighten. Even after a decent amount of uses the Velcro seems to work as well as the same time. The colors were also bright, but not enough to attract attention.

Perfect support and shock absorbed, fits nice with 2 adjustable sizes, does not rub off, stays in place, soft gel pads inside
