Futuro09039ENT Adjustable Sport Knee Support

Excellent product and excellent service

I have arthritis in my right knee and have already had one operation (keyhole) to have a 'clean out' but the NHS has told me I am 'too young' to have a knee replacement so I am on strong pain killers every day. I try to play bowls regularly but am prone to 'falling' over my knee. I have had physiotherapy, hydrotherapy etc etc. all to no avail.This Knee support has, however, proved a real boon. My knee won't get better (just steadily worse as what is left of the cartilage disappears completely and the bones rub happily together all the time...The knee support is something I ration - only for bowls because I am conscious that I don't want to weaken muscles or come to rely on it too much BUT the big difference is that I have only had one 'instance' since wearing this for bowls when the knee gave and my hand touched the floor. The Futuro is adjustable three ways so I have been able to get it to fit me well and the 'air vents' as I call them help from causing too much sweating and hence further discomfort. I am not a SPECIALIST SO I CAN'T RECOMMEND IT FOR EVERYONE but I urge you to try it if any of the above is familiar to you!

Not quite as robust as I expected also "small " fit

A very well made and quality looking and feeling knee support.Although adjustable it may be a little small for the larger legged person.Easily adjustable for the required firmness.Quite effective. Does keep the knee nice and warm.

This knee support is mainly aimed at injury's, but I have found this very beneficial for my arthritis. I put it on as soon as it arrived as my knees are really painful. This not only gives support but keeps my joint nice and warm so feels soothing.It is very well made. good stitching, nice and thick, strong Velcro fastening so it stays exactly where you put it. I have tried the wrist support with just as much success and ordered another one so I had one for each hand, I will now be doing the same again and ordering another knee support.It is fully adjustable so will fit even the largest knee.

This support is designed for knee sizes between 13.5"-17.5". There are three adjustable velcro straps. Nice and warm which eases the aches and pains. I did get some bunching at the back of the knee and it does ride up when running. However for walking it was comfortable and did support the knee.

I've had to use knee supports for my cricket, cycling and other sporting activities for a couple of years now and definitely prefer the open-patella style and have purchased a few such items through Amazon. Unlike my previous knee supports, which offered a selection of sizes, allowing me to opt for XL, in accordance with my fairly large build, this one seems to be a one-size-fits-all. In practice I found I had to stretch the centre strap almost to its limit to fit around my knee. Furthermore, this support is just a flat un-augmented neoprene sheet lacking the reinforcing rods my other supports had and which I would have expected in a support at this price. It does have a nicely smooth inner surface and feels very comfortable when worn though. Also, its simple design means it will probably stand up to more washes than more elaborate knee supports (and believe me, neoprene does get very sweaty and will require frequent washing). I have yet to try it during any sporting activity but, with such a large selection available to choose from online, often priced at a few £s less than this, I am not really convinced that the Futuro possesses any characteristics to make it stand out from the crowd.**** Update ****Wore the support for football last night. On the plus side, it stayed on, although the small centre strap was stretched almost to its limit. It also kept my knee joint warm quite effectively. Not so good though was the fact that it tended to ride up somewhat and creased/folded significantly on the sides at the point where it has to flex along with your knee. The folds started to stick out at the sides and this meant less contact with the knee joint. I don't get this with more robust supports containing reinforcing rods. Overall, my opinion is unchanged; this support just about does the job (as does a £2-99 support from Sports Direct), but there are better and cheaper alternatives out there.

I suffer from knee pain which stems from an old knee injury, and I thought this knee support would be ideal for helping my knee when I go walking.However, this knee support is simply too big. The straps are adjustable, but even so this support doesn't stay in place for long and it's too bulky to wear under clothing, unless you're wearing baggy trousers. I found it quite uncomfortable to wear and not very effective.It should definitely be available in different sizes rather than a one-size-fits-all support, because one size does not fit all!
