Great Brace!
September 8, 2017
This is a great brace. I had an arthroscopy 25 years ago and after 20 years re-injured my knee. I made my first purchase of this brace 5 years ago (Paid twice as much Retail) and it lasted till now working as a steel stud framer working 40-60 hrs a wk. I also recently had a bilateral arthroscopy in June/2017 and purchased 2 of these recently. They have been great. They have helped tremendously with my recovery. I am able to go to the gym now without any worries about re-injury. Everyone's body is shaped differently in different areas so there will always be likes and dislikes about a product like this. For me this brace is perfect, it's really comfortable.
Best thing I have ever done for my knee!!
March 19, 2017
I had dislocated my knee 2 days before I received this brace. I was in such pain I couldn't move. I was literally screaming in pain. My wife was ready to call the EMS. After about an hour, I finally got it to pop back into place. The first thing I did was get on Amazon and find this brace. Do not want to go through that pain again. I had my rotator cuff torn in 2 places in a motorcycle accident and the pain didn't compare to dislocating a knee. Please do as it suggests and actually measure your knee 2" below the kneecap. It has a sizing chart and it suggest getting 1 size larger. Personally, I didn't see the logic in this, but my wife convinced me to follow instructions and buy the XXL. I am so glad I did, it fits very snugly but not so much that it cuts off circulation. It keep the lateral movement of my knee almost to nothing. I do find I have to take it off at night when I sleep just to let it breathe. I would recommend this to anyone with any kind of knee problems. It gives it the support it needs and keeps you from being in agonizing pain. If I could give this a 10 star rating, I would.
If you found my review in any way helpful, please take a moment and hit the button to the right.
Thank You.
Great overall brace
February 16, 2017
I hyperextended my knee playing soccer. I had a different brace and it just wasn't cutting it. This brace has ten time the support then my other brace. The X system going across the back keeps the metal brackets from shifting away from the sides of the knee. It is comfortable and very supportive. I can wear it while I run, sprint, move side to side, ride a resistance bike at the gym, and it doesn't bother me. It does take a bit of an effort to get it off a sweaty leg, but that's all neoprene for you. Overall a well made brace that got me back playing the sport I love.
Revelation
December 6, 2016
Gives me as good, if not better, than my prescription brace. Much more comfortable, too. Highest recommendation. Make sure to measure twice and get it maybe a size larger because, as other reviewers have said, it is a little snug. But that is what you want.
Temporary improvement for LCL injury
April 10, 2014
I purchased the Shock Doctor Ultra Knee Supporter in hopes that it would alleviate some of the pain I have felt with the LCL of my left knee and the pain associated with it and have thus far been impressed by the quality of the brace. The support it gives my knee during physical exercise and wearing throughout the day has brought much needed relief for my ailment and will hopefully continue to do so until I can have my medical personnel take a look at it.

For instance, prior to purchasing this product I would go for an extended run of about 4 to 6 miles and would almost immediately regret running that distance as the pain would be quite distracting throughout the day. Same with the average bike ride I would go on.

After receiving the product only a couple of days ago I almost immediately noticed an improvement each time I wear it in regards to the support and motion of my knee. I have yet to take it out with me on a longer run but plan to do so once I have built up to running that kind of distance with it.

Pros:
Extremely cheap compared to other braces out there
Natural feel even after hours of wear
High quality materials (for the most part)

Cons:
The finger holds are the only cheap feeling area of the brace but I don't use them or need to use them that much when putting the brace on
The bottom strap tends to ride my hamstring a little too much causing some soreness but I think after wearing it and breaking it in a little it should fit better.

I am thoroughly happy with the purchase and should get some good use out of this.

First minute review - good lateral stability
June 20, 2017
Up until one minute ago I was using a knee brace that you pull up and over your knee with a hole in the middle, made out of neoprene. During the last couple of days while doing simple things, like walking, I felt less than satisfied with the stability.

I read most of the reviews of other products and decided on this one.

I purchased the xxxl size because I was at the top end of the xxl circumference and multiple reviewers said to go up to the next size, and this was good feedback.

As I type this, the brace feels good holding my knee, not too tight, not too loose.
Great Value for the Price
June 16, 2017
This brace worked pretty well on my knee between tearing my meniscus and going in for surgery. It was pretty small (I got the XXL) at first and I didn't think it would get over my knee to wear. Once I had it on, it stretched out and I was able to take it off an on pretty easily. It seemed like it kept getting looser over the two weeks I was wearing it, though.

I personally think there are some improvements that could be made (open back so you don't have to slip it over your calf and knee, the straps could have more adjustment options- sometimes they pinched a little) but for $50 or so, you can't beat it. I guess I would have more room to complain if I paid $100 or $150. For the price, it did the job very well and I think I'll be wearing this in the future so I don't re-injure myself during physical activity.
Buyer Beware!!
April 10, 2017
You have to order a size up - also, if you order one and it doesn't fit, you cant return it.The brace does what it needs to. I tore my LCL and it definitely helps wearing it. As of now it gets 4 stars, but we will see how long that lasts.

Edit: 4 months in and it squeaks like crazy, so be prepared to use WD-40. It has been very casually used but seems to be starting to fall apart.
Knee-injury must!
May 27, 2014
I tore my MCL (Level 1) a few months ago and the doctors told me to get a hinged brace to support while my knee was healing. I bought a basic wrap around w/ simple hinges and it worked fine and I was back on my feet within a week. A few weeks ago I managed to re-injure the same knee, this time at a Level 2 almost 3. I was in severe pain and unable to walk for about 3 days except with the use of crutches. Fast-forward 4 weeks and I was still having a lot of pain and unable to move properly and noticed my basic brace was not helping support my knee. I did research online and came across this brace. After reading the reviews I decided to give it a try, though I was worried even the XXL may not fit (because reviews mentioned the brand runs small).

The first time I wore the brace it was pretty tight and I had to undo all the straps to get my leg in, and then had a hard time getting the straps wrapped back around in the criss-cross. I opted to just strap them straight across until they had been stretched and worn in. Immediately I noticed how stable the brace was compared to my old one. By the end of the day (I have to wear it all day for support) my knee felt great compared to the previous weeks. I do have to mention that my leg was pretty swollen (fluid retention) from the brace having that "new tightness" to it, but it wasn't cutting off circulation.

By Day 3 the brace had stretched out enough that it was easier to get on and I was actually able to correctly cross the straps as designed. I noticed a significant improvement in how sturdy my knee felt, and the swelling wasn't any more an issue than it was before the new brace.

I have been using this brace for a week now and honestly wish I had bought it sooner! The stability in my knee has improved greatly and the brace it fairly comfortable considering I have to wear it all day. The only issue I have is now that the weather is getting warmer I have a hard time getting it off at night because of the Neoprene "suction effect".

Overall a really great product, highly recommend!
Here is the size chart
May 8, 2013
The product works great, the biggest issue all of the reiews have is that it's missing a sizing chart. So here is the chart taken directly from the box:

Measure 2 inches below your knee cap
S = 12.25" - 13.25"
M = 13" - 14"
L = 13.75" - 14.75"
XL = 14.5" - 15.5"
XXL = 15.25" - 16.25"

The reason you measure the top of your calf is because that's the narrowest part of the brace and you want to make sure the brace will fit over and comfortably of your calf.

Good for around the house
March 15, 2017
I have been wearing it for a week now and it fits snug. I thought the straps at the top and bottom would hold the brace in place but it didn't. The brace kept slipping down and the only way to get it back up was to grab the two bottom metal stays and pull up. When pulled up that would roll the top material inward and cause discomfort. I still like the brace but it could use a couple of pull up loops on the top.
Good knee braces but be wary of sizing
September 30, 2016
The knee supports look well constructed and durable. My son and I watched the measurement video and selected the appropriate size per the video. Unfortunately the knee braces were so tight they limited range of motion and actually diminished circulation. We had to return them simply because they were too tight. We did opt for a larger size but were frustrated with the additional effort in packaging/returning the wrong sized initial knee braces.
Nothing to write home about
September 10, 2016
Well I will find out more this ski season. So far the material is not as comfy as the Don joy bionic

BTW For those complaining about smell- well this is to be worn on the leg and not rubbed on you face or nose so please stop over thinking it's application.
Great Support but to tight
November 19, 2015
Seems great but so tight it hurt. My knee measured 12.75 which is clearly within the size of a medium according the size chart. I tried it on after taking several minutes just to get it high enough on my leg. It felt very supportive and I thought I found my answer. But after a few minutes of wear I couldn't take it anymore. Although very support and helping to relieve my knee pain it was causing its own pain. It was so tight the hidges were digging into the sides and the elastic around my thigh was cutting of my circulation. I think it the brace was just a slight bit larger it would be a great choice. It seemed very well made.
The thumb hooks to pull it up are all fraying out and much too small to be useful. The plastic links are narrower than the strap
August 18, 2014
I bought this brace because the hinges looked smaller and easier to walk with than the Mcdavid brace. That is true, but the brace is rather poorly made and will not stay in place. It continually turns sideways so that the knee opening is out of place. The thumb hooks to pull it up are all fraying out and much too small to be useful. The plastic links are narrower than the straps that go through them. I'm disappointed with the purchase.

Runs small
June 3, 2017
These look nice... It's a bit too small so we need to exchange for a larger size. Apparently Amazon won't allow a return .... I will update once all is said & done with the seller... UPDATE: seller was unprofessional & unhelpful. Amazon customer service is Amazing.
Very painful, unable to wear for more than a couple hours
April 12, 2017
Knee supporter could have been better in a larger size. It was very difficult to pull on but felt comfortable enough at first. After wearing it for a couple hours the pain was unbearable. The elastic bands around top and bottom were constricting my legs and the metal hinge dug into side of knee. A larger size might have helped but it's a hassle I don't want to deal with.
For the Skinny and non-muscular of Leg...
August 16, 2016
Item is about 70% there. Does all the right stuff, but your leg will have to fit to it...not really the other way around.

I have a pretty muscular calf, so squeezing into this sleeve was not easy. Add in that I'm using it to manage an injury and you'll understand how it was painful...very. The side supports, also do to my calves not being skinny, dug into my leg on both sides all day long. It took a week for that soreness to go away.

Minimal slippage, good looking construction, but not the right product for me (I went through 2 others before this one).
bulky, be careful with sizing
April 29, 2015
I ended up returning this. First, despite accurately measuring according to the sizing guide, the one I ordered was too small - I could barely get the brace over my calf and then up to my knee. I measured at the high end of the "small" range, but probably should have ordered a medium. Second, the hinges on the sides stick out quite a bit, so the brace was bulky - too bulky to wear under my ski pants. I have had other braces with hinges on the sides and this was the bulkiest I have ever tried.
Wasn't quite what I was looking for, not really good for people with big legs
April 30, 2014
I do have big bones in my legs... and this isn't for the few that do have legs built like that. They're muscular but big. Anyway,

I had a partial meniscectomy and was looking for a little more lateral and medial stability, without restricting too much movement. I mainly wanted to use the brace only when I workout - did Focus T25 or P90X3, but it restricted my movement and slowed it down too much. Maybe that's what they are supposed to do, but it was bulky and got in the way, so I just decided to stick to a soft brace with soft hinges.

and regretfully i see how bad the quality of it is
September 11, 2017
Knee Brace is a sleeve that you pull up to our knee.

Here are the issues i have found with this product:

1. I have had this product for about 1 month or so, and regretfully i see how bad the quality of it is. The top of the brace has little hooks you can use to pull the brace up, and after 1 month 1 side of the hook has already started tearing.
2. There are no instructions on how to clean the sleeve, since summer, sweat has accumulated and it is currently smelling a bit
3. My Knee has been irritated from the product - I have tried using Johnson&Johnson Powder & lotion to help heal it, but seems like it will take a while to heal

I loved it initially, but too many set backs for me to fully say it is a good product
The brace is very comfortable, if it for my leg
August 13, 2017
The brace is very comfortable, if it for my leg! I started with the XL, to small, XXL, again to small, now XXL, and still to small. I used the measurements that are provided in the description but they are not accurate, not for me anyway. I am not that big a person. 5' 10" and 250 lbs. I dont get it. Amazon has been great with letting me return or get credit. Thank goodness!
Wanted to love it
June 14, 2017
I collect knee braces (or at least it seems I do). I had high hopes that this would be my go to. Sadly, this one was WAY too small. I bought a size up, but have large calves as I am pretty fit. The metal bit into my calves, PAINFUL! Based on reviews, I was hoping it would stretch, no such luck. Skip the sleeves, wrap around braces are much more versatile and comfortable.
After several tries with size, the last brace came ...
May 15, 2017
After several tries with size, the last brace came deformed and was still "tight" and difficult to get in. In the end we sent it back and picked another brand. It looked really well made, just wish it had fit.
Didn't fit!
August 14, 2016
Returned for refund. Measured my leg, ordered xxl which was marginal for the measurement. It called for xl. The xxl was almost impossible to put on. I also thought it would be too immobilizing.
