I have had the fantastic opportunity to test these Knee Straps, and put them through some intense trials to see how they stood up. What I found out was that I would find a product that actually would beat any other product I have tried before. I was provided a pair of knee straps to evaluate for this review, but received no compensation or incentive for my thoughts, they are of my own, and are based on my findings and feelings.
One of the first things you need to do is determine will this be the right product for you. I stress that talking with your doctor would be and should be recommended, however if you decide that you are comfortable with making the decision to purchase these because you feel they would benefit you, then you need to choose the right size! If you are between sizes, it is recommended that you go with the size down.

I found that these knee straps were very beneficial in keeping my knees aligned in such a way where the pressure of everyday walking didn’t affect me as much as not wearing them. They are easy to apply, just make sure you do not apply the straps directly over the kneecap. Each strap if you measured it correctly will fasten above and below the kneecap snugly. Always make sure you do not tighten the straps too much, doing that could lead to poor circulation and increase the potential for injury.
I found that while using them, they were comfortable as well, and that is very important to me, and something I lacked in other knee braces, or supports. While wearing them, I also found that I did not get the “sweat” build up behind the knee feeling like I have gotten in other products as well, it kept my knees dry, and that made wearing them, that much more comfortable. The next point I make is extremely important that you check with your doctor, or make sure you are completely okay with the thought of doing this. I also tested them while driving, and found that I had no major restrictions while trying to brake or use the gas. Again I stress, make sure you feel comfortable with doing that, it is not for everyone.
From their website:
The device’s design and construction apply constant dynamic forces to the surrounding areas of the knee reducing the likelihood of overuse syndromes. At the same time, the strap allows for full mobility while providing maximum benefits.
So should you buy them? Yes, a resounding yes. Why? They are comfortable, practical, and reasonably priced to allow you to have the support in your knees that you deserve, without restricting you from trying to do the things that you love! They are easy to wash, you do need to make sure you should hand wash, and let air dry, never put them in the dryer however, and do not twist or wring them. I can easily say these would benefit a lot of careers that use their knees quite a bit like EMT’s, Paramedic’s, Nurses, Firefighters, and more. So if you are looking for a solution to help you with your knees, this is one of the best answers!

I am an avid backpacker/hiker and know those down hills can be very stressful on the knees. I’ve only tried the one strap (below the knee) and it tends to help some. This product may even help more. Thanks for sharing.
I’m just glad I don’t have a need for these. They sound very good.
Thanks for your comment, they are. Good for everyday use I think to, maybe if someone was working out, or doing a lot of everyday lifting. Have a great day!
This knee strap looks very nice. Thanks for the interesting and informative review!
It is, wearing mine now. Very comfortable, easy to use!
I have problems with my knee sometimes wanting to go backward. This seems like it would really help with that.

You are welcome, I simply love mine.
My hubby has been complaining lately that his knees hurt when he jogs. I’m quite sure this strap is just the thing for him!
Great review!!
Thank you. I still love mine, hope he is able to get some relief. Have a great day!
Thank you for sharing this information. I’m going to talk to my doctor regarding them. I have a lot of back damage and I feel it in my knees as well and these might be helpful.
I am glad you liked the article, thanks for sharing your comment. have a great day!
This seems a sensible design for a knee brace, many I’ve looked at were such an annoyance to get on.
I agree, this is not cumbersome or hard to put on, easy to put on and take off, just more comfortable than others I have seen!
These would be great for hiking.
Yes they would! I hope you get a chance to own some, links are in the post!
This is something that I think would be great for my knee problem.
I’ll have my mom talk to her doctor about this
great!
Great? I think so.
This looks like it would help a lot with knee pain!
Great review. I have a cousin who could put this to good use. I’ll pass this link on to her!
That would be awesome, thank you!
Thanks. I love reading honest reviews about products that I haven’t tried yet.

I gotta get one of these for my fiance he drives me crazy when his knee acts up!
i’m going to have to get this! thank you for the post! 🙂
You are welcome…have a great day!
how cool is that
Pretty cool?
My husband’s knee has been an issue for some time, but h rarely wears his brace because it is so bulky and uncomfortable. It seems as though you find it comfortable and it looks much less bulky. I will definitely need to show him this.
Much more comfortable, easy to put on, I like mine.
I had to wear a clunky knee brace for a while in high school. This looks a lot better. Plus I wouldn’t have to worry about getting it over my big calves.
I would try for help with pain.
I wish I had known about this when my husband was having knee pain from a fall. I am sure he would have found comfort and relief wearing it.
these are great for everyday support, wearing mine today!
They are really great!
My husband could use this for his knees.
They are great, I am wearing them now.
would be beneficial, as i walk or ride my bike as i do not drive, and i can put on alot of mileage and and up with knees starting to hurt and this would help a great deal. thanks for sharing!
These are great, I am wearing them now…very comfortable.
I would like to try this for my knee, it gives me a lot of trouble!
OH I am supposed to get surgery as the cartiledge in my knee is disintegrating, this would sure help for everyday use for extra support. It can be painful if I twist wrong or step wrong
I can understand, support is always needed, this was comfortable and easy to wear.
My husband could definitely use one of these, he’s been having knee pain and this might help keep him active.
I find they allow me to do a little more each day than normal, without pushing it too hard, its the first support I have found that I can wear comfortably and enjoy myself!
I have problem with my knee sometimes ago but already fixed. I think this tool is a great tool to be used by those who have problems with his knee.
Glad you were able to get your knee repaired, and this is great just for added extra support.

I think this strap would definitely help with some of my knee problems. Thanks for the post!
This is a great product to use for a lot of different people and careers. I could use this product because my knees are not good. Thanks for the review, and I like how it applies to your knee.
