SB SOX Compression Knee Brace - Great Support That Stays in Place - Perfect for Recovery, Everyday Use - Best Treatment for Pain Relief, Meniscus Tear, Arthritis (Black/Gray, Medium)

These compression sleeves are really great. I work grocery so I'm on and off my knees, up and down all day long so I needed something that would help with the throbbing pain after work. These sleeves did the trick! They stay in place and don't slip up or down after an 8 hour shift, they breathe really well so its not sticky or uncomfortable by the end of the day. For me they start about 4 inches above my knee and go down to the middle of my calf so it even helps with calf strain. The material is really sturdy, no fraying or pilling and they hold up well in the wash. I wouldn't recommend tumble drying because of the silicone type material inside the sleeves that keep them from slipping so hang them up to dry instead. I can really tell a difference after just a day or two of wearing these that my knees and muscles are straining way less when getting up and down. The one and only thing I don't like is that the top part above my knee is pretty tight (which it has to be to compress) but it sucks in the skin around the knee so when I am wearing jeans over them you can see an indentation and it looks kind of funny, like you got a muffin top able your knee haha.I even had a great experience with the company. With other knee sleeves I usually have to purchase a size large because I have big calves, well instinctively I ordered large for both knees and when they arrived they were way too big for me so I contacted the company for an exchange. They got back to me the same day and offered to ship me the corrected size at no cost. They even let me keep the larger size to pass on, which I did to my coworker and he loves them. The corrected size came out within 2 days and they fit perfect. I can't say enough nice things about this company and the sleeves. Definitely give them a try!

Both of my parents use these regularly. My mom wears them in the pool and states they last for a pretty long time. They do stretch in the pool but last a while.

Let's get some things out of the way first. A knee brace like this is not magic. It won't make your knee all better. It is one part of the approach to knee pain. Also, everyone's knee is different, and their knee problem is different. What is useful for one person may be totally useless for another. All that being said, this is a nice brace. Moderate support and compression. This brace is also of medium thickness and seems to "breath" fairly well. Have not had to use customer service, but they sent a nice email before the brace arrived, included some good information and a coupon for my next order. Company seems to want happy customers and they should get points for that. This brace has approximately half of it above the knee and half below the knee. Some others are proportioned differently. Seems to stay up fine. Just rode bike 2 miles to gym, had 1 hr workout, and rode back without problem. One thing I have found is that if a brace works well with activity, it will be too tight when inactive, and the opposite also holds true. May not be the same for you, but keep it in mind. Also, follow the instructions for measuring for size. Different brands have you measure in different places. Only thing that keeps me from 5 stars is that I have no idea how it washes or how durable it is.

A few months ago I had the nightmare occur... "POP" + "OUCH" and after an MRI discovered that while I (thankfully) hadn't injured my ACL... I did have a "lovely" tear in my meniscus. Due to timing I really couldn't schedule the surgery to clean up the damage and opted for a steroid injection and brace to avoid suffering for the next few months. After the first few days of wearing my brace I realized that I had some spots causing discomfort and set out to get a compression sleeve to wear under the brace. Well this one did a wonderful job in my opinion. I have had no difficulty wearing my brace for the entire day and when I take it off before going to bed I no longer have irritation spots from it.I did give 4/5 stars for stability primarily because the brace provided exactly what >> I << wanted (a sleeve to prevent irritation from a brace). Never having worn a sleeve like this I felt that I couldn't exactly say I felt any sort of "stability" from the sleeve, but it does have some regions on the top and bottom that keep it from moving at all (though with a brace like mine clamped down on the sleeve I wouldn't expect anything to move). I subtracted the one star ONLY because I didn't want someone who needed some sort of stability (lateral, rotational, etc.) to think this was the perfect sleeve. I may amend that after doing some additional research.The product arrived EXACTLY when I expected (marvels of Prime delivery).I can't comment on customer service as I haven't needed to interact with the company/supplier at all.Would I purchase it again? Absolutely. I found it VERY reasonably priced and has performed well for the time that I have had it (exactly one week).

I liked how it fit and it was super easy to put on and it stayed up properly with good support. I’ve had it for a couple weeks now and my only issue is that when I went outside with it directly on my skin and I’m not sure if it was the sun making the grippy bit burn my skin or if it was the material used, but it left a lovely burned pattern on my thigh that disappeared after a day or so. I’m allergic to latex so I wouldn’t worry about that issue if you don’t have that allergy and the reaction wasn’t severe enough for it to be abnormal for me with adhesives or gels so I’m gonna keep it anyway. It’s a good brace/stabilized otherwise for just general pain management, and I honestly just don’t wear it directly on my skin. Fits easily over all my pants so it gets the job done and solved my issues from then on. Insanely quick shipping time which is nice and the seller seems nice. -2 for thigh burn but +3 for useful and easy. Also this could be a good or a bad thing but the gel doesn’t scrape or melt off.
