Excellent quality and service
August 10, 2017
My knees are so messed up these barely fit right but that is my problem. These are very well made and of high quality. I purchased some before and they were too small and tight, but that was again my issue with knowing my sizes. I was able to return them and was promptly refunded. Excellent quality and service.

March 9, 2017
This is an awesome brace. I have a condition where my joints slip out of place. I have worn ALOT braces now for over 25 years and I really like this one. It is much lighter than other ones I have worn. It breaths nicely and it doesn't hurt the back of my knee. I work out in it, do yoga in it, take karate in it, and take walks with it. Of course, it's a knee brace, so I'm not saying it doesn't add bulk, I am saying, it's a comfortable brace that is manageable and provides great support.

January 22, 2017
These things are amazing!I bought them some time in 2013 I've been using them for 1 to 2 two hour or more karate classes a week pretty consistently.It's now mid January 2017 and I'm scrolling back through my purchase history because I'd like to buy a new pair.After exceptional use, multiple washings etc. they're finally starting to get a little beat up.As a martial artist who's been at it for over 30 years as well as a big guy my knees are pretty beat.These things really do the trick, they keep the muscles warm and provide good snugs support.
Buy and brace yourself
January 7, 2017
This brace is really great. I tweaked my knee playing basketball and needed something in between an Ace bandage and Donjoy brace. This was exactly it. It's firm and gave my knee a lot of support. Be sure to measure your knee because I felt the one I got was a little tight (L). It worked well just be aware if you mismeasure or guess your size, it may not fit. It is adjustable and stretches so that will help. It also stays in place which tends to be a problem with knee braces. Overall, this is a great product I would buy again.
I like it, I really like it!
November 3, 2015
I might have gained just a bit of weight, just 50 or so lbs. My knees didn't like it. Sports were no longer fun. My particular problem is that the knee would bend the wrong way (backwards, hyperextend). This brace eliminated that problem. I do wish you could adjust the maximum angle it straightens out to, but it still works for me. It is comfortable too. As for size, I was just on the lower end of one size so I went to the smaller size. It was tight to begin with (tough to get on and off) but then loosened up a little (or I lost weight, lol) and is now perfect. Oh yeah, one more thing, I do use a knee sleeve along with this. Maybe that's why it's so comfortable?
Use the sizing chart!
May 3, 2015
This support works better than any other I have tried. It entirely kept my knee from moving side to side while exercising; I was able to weight lift for the first time in years without any knee pain.I was borderline between the Small and Medium measurements, so I decided to get the Medium after reading other reviews. I wish I would have gone with the smaller size; the brace stretched out quite a bit after the first few times I wore it. I'm not quite sure what other reviewers are talking about needing to go up multiple sizes, if you measure your leg like they advise that you do on the page you should not have any problems with sizing.

Read the reviews. Sized small but pretty good brace.
August 29, 2017
Pretty comfortable but definitely is sized small. I bought an XXL, which is a size up from my measurements and still fits snug. It does seem to help better than any other braces I have tried in the past. Overall pretty good.
Excellent quality for the price
June 13, 2017
Excellent quality for the price. I use it for jiu jitsu while my knee heals from a minor strain. I've used it about 15-20 times so far and it's held up very well, and it is not bulky or protrudes too much. The only thing I don't like is that the x-strap in the back kind of digs in to the skin behind my knee. I put athletic tape and it works but if it was a little looser, I would recommend a neoprene sleeve underneath the brace.
Worth the buy
April 17, 2017
Bought a similar Mueller brace which was more expensive than this and was really uncomfortable because of the hinges.This was way more comfortable. The hinges has a more thicker padding on them from the inside which is important when you are wearing this kind of brace with hinges. Compression is also good.Downside of this brace is that it takes an enormous amount of effort to put on and take off without wearing a compression sleeve under (NO JOKE)!But with compression you can slip in and out easily.And the fit is definitely small like most reviews would tell you, but that was not a problem for me since i'm a skinny guy.
right brace wrong size.but its great.
April 9, 2017
It is a liitle tight.i should have ordered the large.but it really works as advertised . I am feeling better already.my knee is doing well.i just wish i had checked my size first. I need a large not medium..
No pain, big gains.
September 18, 2015
Four stars because it fits a little tight. Other than that it did everything I had hoped for. I have a bad knee, acl or mcl, I don't know but it starts hurting going down hill on hikes. I have always avoided big hikes because of it. I did a ten mile, 4000' ascent and decent a few weeks back and had to wear a "cheap" $15 brace from the store for three days. I bought this brace and did Mt Bierstadt. No pain. None on the hike, none the next day. Awesome! Well worth the money.I am about 150 lbs with a 10 lb pack. My knee measures 12.5 inches two inches below the cap and I bought a medium. It's not tight enough to cut off circulation but I wanted it off fast after five hours.Would I buy it again? Yes, but I would try on a large at a sporting goods store before ordering another.
Shock Doctor 872
July 3, 2014
Received this product in 4 days on free shipping ($35 and up), happy with the fast shipment. I like the quality of the product - seems sturdy and well made. I measured my knee accordingly, 13.25" circumference (2" below the knee cap center) and so I ordered Medium (fits 13-14" as per chart) and the fit is right, perfect I could say so the SDr Chart I think is correct. It fits snugly as I expected for a knee support like the McDavid Deluxe Knee Support size SMALL (fits 12-14") that I also have. Their fit (the McDavid size Small and ShockDoctor size Medium) is almost the same.However, the metal hinged brace of this Shock Doctor Knee Support with Dual Hinges (Model 872) is placing too much pressure in my injured MCL. I wanted to have a better lateral support until my MCL injury fully heal so I could resume playing basketball and do my regular workouts ASAP. I tried this Shock Doctor 872 on, but as soon as I have placed it right, I could hardly bend my knee without feeling the pain of my MCL injury which is being pinched by the metal hinged brace. I really like this brace but unfortunately it simply does not fit my knee/leg anatomy. I can see this product to work very well to someone with fairly straight legs. The material quality seems to be good and well made. I wish the metal braces can be adjusted to one’s leg contours.Fortunately, the return process by amazon.com is amazing. Full refund on this returned order. Outstanding Customer service.

Decent but not something amazing.
September 27, 2017
All of the postings about the sizing chart are true. I have small legs and I had to order a large and it still seems a little tight. I tore my ACL about 2 years ago and had it rebuilt. Just recently had a grade 2 tear to my MCL along with a knee cap dislocation while playing rugby. I ordered this brace so that I could return to my sport and not hurt my knee. The brace does its job by keeping my knee sturdy however its a little tight and makes running difficult/awkward. I am hopeful that it just needs to be broken in. My one big complaint about this brace is that the medal digs into my upper thigh on the outside of my leg. I added a little bit of padding to that side and it is helping. Overall, the brace is decent/average for the amount of money that I paid.
... on and I even measured but it was still super tight, especially around the patella ring
September 26, 2017
Well made but hard to get on and I even measured but it was still super tight, especially around the patella ring. I suggest ordering a size up.
Provides great support...be careful with the sizing
October 11, 2016
This product is hard to get on and off. The sizing is really confusing. You measure your leg and order based on measurements. It isn't very clear that when you order, you need to get a size 1/2 to 1 more larger than you need. It does do a great job or providing support especially to compensate for a totally disconnected ACL. It is a bulky product
Order one size up
May 31, 2016
Gives support, but even with measurement guides it runs small. I'm female, 5'5" and wear a size 8 pants. I can barely get the x-large on. I do have larger calves, but in no way am an x-large person, let alone xx-large. Poor sizing.On the support side of things. This allowed me to hike the Inca trail in Peru and then descend the Priest in Virginia without too much difficulty. Great support. As soon as I put it on I could feel how much support it provided.
order 2 sizes up
October 19, 2015
Will amend my star rating after we received the next brace. We followed the sizing chart to the letter and ordered a small for my son. When the brace came in, it was so small that he can't even pull it up over his knee cap. Would recommend going TWO sizes up. The brace appears to be made of sturdy construction and will appear to do it's job, but was incredibly disappointed in how far off base the measuring chart appears to be.
Order One Size Up!
August 25, 2014
I like this knee support but like many of those on here, was duped by the manufacturer's sizing chart. My measurements were on the cusp of two sizes. I read a lot of people saying to try the correct size and it will stretch. I went with small. However, even though I can barely get it on my knee, it caused severe pain on the outside by my IT band. On top of this, the pull tabs at the top for pulling it up securely ripped right out with the first pull. I didn't even pull that hard. Other than the over tightness, I can see how it will be comfortable if fitted correctly, so I'm ordering a medium next to see how that works. Once I get my replacement I'll let you all know how it works and update my review.

Clumsy and easily snagged
April 29, 2017
This was not a good item for me. Clumsy fit and the hinges, which are not enclosed, can stick out and catch on things. Went straight back.
Runs very small!
October 5, 2016
This would be a great knee brace if the sizing was correct. I ordered a 2XL for my mother but she couldn't put it on. I am in the posted size range, could barely manage to pull it on and it was way too tight to be comfortable. It cut off a significant amount of circulation, and was very uncomfortable to move in. It also kept working its way down my leg about an inch and wouldn't stay in place to stabilize the patella. My brother is much slimmer than me, and it fits him fine, otherwise I'd return it. The sizing chart needs to be reassessed.
Not great in comfort for Jiu jitsu or Wrestling, It Pinches cuts scrapes back of knee, Fits, A little tight but doable
March 17, 2016
I have purchased plenty of shock doctor stuff in the past and they have great designs but are always known for not being that comfortable and getting too hot. I think they over engineer a lot of their items when they could be a little more simple. I generally would say support wise it isn't too bad and it does its job for light duty, but the plastic braces aren't strong enough laterally to stop force bending of the knee. Works decent in hyper extensions but not the strongest. I would say this type of brace is good for running or light movements but not for jiu-jitsu or wrestling grappling type sports. It looks nice goes on decently tight and stays on but is very uncomfortable and very tight. I measured my leg exactly as they suggested. Yes, it fits and yes I understand it is supposed to be a little tight but not cutting off circulation tight and basically takes 2 men to take it off your knee after you are sweaty. It is Functional but uncomfortable as it left a skin rash and blister in the back of my knee after the very first use. So I would use spats while using it. I hope it breaks in more and gets comfortable but I have my doubts. Overall for $30-40 bucks I paid its worth a shot, but I would personally for a simpler design or a metal brace one if you plan on having your knee go millions of different ways in sports that are tough on your knees.
No, no, no
July 25, 2014
As everyone says, the sizing is all wrong. My knee, per Shock Doctor's measuring chart (i.e., 2" below the center of the patella) is 12.75" around, which is a Small according to the chart. BUT because everyone was saying in reviews to go up a size, I bought a Medium. Guess what? There was no way to get it on! I was actually HURTING MY KNEE attempting to get the thing on. I ALREADY have a knee problem, which is why I wanted the brace. I understand, again per the information on the description, that it should fit very tight and may take a few days to "break in". That's all well and good, but further injuring myself is just not an option. The only thing I might suggest, is that my calf is muscular and at its widest is about 13.25". But nowhere on the description is there any suggestion that a muscled calf might impede getting the brace on (look, I was just stretching here anyway, trying to find any explanation for such gross size discrepancies). People who are already hurt, don't need the "cure" to make things worse. I really can't comment in good conscience about any other aspect of the brace in light of the size issues.
Product Smaller Than Sizing Chart Suggests
November 18, 2013
This product must run small. I measured my knee and followed the product sizing guide to buy the XXL. My knee circumference is 15.5". I play basketball twice a week but do no other weight lifting activities so would assume I have average to above average sized calves and thighs. The XXL is supposed to go up to knee circumferences of over 16", but this brace was cutting off circulation in my legs and I could barely get it on, even to try it on.I think the brace is a solid brace, it feels very sturdy and helpful, but just assume it runs one to two sizes too small. Unfortunately for me, they do not make this brace any larger. If you're overweight or work out a lot, or have a larger knee circumference, it may be best to look at other options.
Not true to sizing dimensions compared to other brands. Be careful.
November 8, 2013
Not true to size. I'm 6' 4" 245lbs with big lean calves. I have knee braces from two other major brands- both XL and fit well on me. Shock Doctor's XXL dimensions are about the same as the other brands' XL size but this is still far smaller. Beware the sizing. Double and triple check the dimensions before you buy. Consider getting two sizes up. I don't think they sell an XXXL. Needless to say no NFL player will ever be able to wear one of their products. I will say if you're a very thin person that the product is well made and of high quality and maybe go for it under those circumstances only.

June 28, 2017
I returned this on the same day I received it. Product looked good, and I was sure I got the correct size (XL) based on the how to video, but it was still tight and after only 5 hours of wearing it, I noticed some water blister occurring above the outer side of my knee and near my calf from where it was too tight! It also formed a bruise from the metal bracket, and only after a week had it subside, but left scar from the blister.Maybe I should have ordered the next size up, or even the next largest size? However, I don't think I'll be buying this again. I think I'll stick with the Knee Brace Support with Velcro which I've also Purchased from Amazon before this one, and it's been Great.
What's the best thing about amazon
June 1, 2017
Run way too small. This is the first item I have ever ordered from amazon that the return window closed before I could return it. This was for my dad so it was 3 weeks before I ever got it from him. Too strict. I wont be recommending this brace for my older patients anymore. What's the best thing about amazon? Prime delivery, easy returns, and they have darn near everything. This product did not meet the amazon standard.

Bad Material - rash inducing
July 4, 2014
This brace gave my husband a terrible rash every time he wore it- there is just something in the material. We washed it, made no difference. He does *not* have any kind of sensitive skin either- so this was a crazy reaction for him to get. Brace actually felt great while wearing it (for only 1 day), but the rash took almost two weeks to go away after he took it off.
Runs way too small!
October 18, 2013
I could not locate anywhere what the inch amounts were for any of the sizes, so I took a leap of faith based off the majority of the other name brand braces out there and boy am I disappointed. The XXL ended up being only between 15.25-16.25 inches. Those numbers in other name brands are for medium. I have no idea why they would ever make a brace so small and put XXL as the size. I could not even get this thing over my calf muscle which is pretty average. I will say that this thing is well made and looks like it would be very useful if I was actually able to use it.
