5.0 out of 5 stars A bit of false advertising but good quality, good for the price and does what's intended
I bought this to replace a meuller knee brace I bought at a sporting goods store that wasn't working for me anymore. I'm only 25 but I've had knee pain and buckling since I got hit by a car in the crosswalk last year after they ran a red and weren't paying attention. I was really worried about wasting my money because I'm kind of having to be frugal right now, so I did do some digging into the claims around this brace before I bought it. I can tell you that the doctor holding the brace in the picture has nothing to do with this product, and the bit about it being 'worn by professional athletes around the world' is false. It was hard because there is literally no trace of this knee brace or the brand that makes it anywhere else online except for this Bolo page. But I can tell you it was designed in Isreal in September of last year and the designer filed for a patent on it in April of this year which is still pending. So it is not designed in America and made in Germany like it says here either. The box says made in China also. But false advertising gimmicks aside, I bought it anyway based on the good reviews. I'm 5'7" and around 155lbs and bought a medium. My measurements are 14" to 16" and it fit perfect. It is a very good quality brace, it seems sturdy and does what it's supposed to do which is make my knee feel more stable and help with the pain. It is a little shorter than the meuller brace, about 2" difference, but it is a better brace than that one. It does leave red marks on the skin, especially where the knee hole is, and made my skin itchy after wearing it for a while. I put on a copper fit sleeve under it which fixed the itching and after wearing it for a while I'll see if it helps the marks too. It is a bit bulky so don't expect it to be invisible under pants like the woman wearing skinny jeans in the product video. But over all, despite some false claims to hype the product, it is good quality and good for the price (it was $19.99 with a $2 coupon making it $17.99 when I bought it, I see it is now $24.99) and it does its job very well. I do recommend. I have noticed after wearing it for a few days I'm having to pull the straps a little tighter than before, maybe my knee was swollen and I didn't realize and this fixed it or maybe it's stretching, I don't know. If it is stretching I will probably update that later. But right now I can tell you it's a good brace and worth it.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good product. A few flaws but does the job.
I actually had to get a replacement due to some threading coming undone around the knee hole. It seems as though it’s part of a design flaw, as the second one had the same issue, though not as bad as the first.Some of the things I noticed since using this are:- it did help with some pain. Obviously it didn’t take away all pain, but the compression definitely helped and the knee ring is comfortable.- it is pretty thick, so this is unfortunately not something you can really wear under pants unless you wear very very baggy pants. However, I don’t particularly recommend as I could see how the material could cause some skin irritation.- compression is all on you. You control how tight it is. That said, even when I put it pretty tight, it still seemed to slip a little and I found myself having to adjust a few times.- quality is decent. There are some design flaws that I think if the developers came back to this, it could be easily fixed. The Velcro parts definitely aid in snagging the threads. Unfortunately there’s pretty limited room and easily goes over those threads. The Velcro sticks everywhere. There’s not a spot on this that it won’t stick too. So while it gives you a pretty wide adjustable range, it’s also a bit of a hinderance due to the snagging.- works well and definitely helped my knees.- washability is going to be tricky. I wouldn’t run this through a washer, and certainly not a dryer in hot heat. Personally, I would spot clean only. Avoid hot heat and remember that Velcro doesn’t do well with machine washing. If you truly need a deeper clean, I would reach out to the company and see what they recommend.Overall, it works well. There are flaws and it’s not perfect. But it did to the job I needed.8/10
5.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable and effective support
Having recently damaged the meniscus in my knee I was given a brace (and crutches) at the doctor’s office. The brace was quite big and not very comfortable so, after researching alternatives, I bought this one. It is easy to fit in place, comfortable and has a non-slip addition on the inside face so it stays in place all day without sliding down. Apart from some restriction of movement - which is what it is supposed to do - you are not really aware that you are wearing it. I am pleased with my choice and would recommend it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Worked!
It is itchy at times, but I think anything that would be on leg this long would be. It does not stop ALL pain, but reduced pain as did the one ER used and the one the doctor used. What it did do was stay in place as long as I make it tight. Is more comfortable than either of the other two provided by medical field. Does fit under pants, but yes. it does make a bulge because I have an injured knee. In other words, I read one ridiculous complaining review. I have not tried every brace, but if I need another, this will be it. My surgery is not until November and hoping this lasts. I take it off at least once a day and know velcro will wear out. As long as it makes it most of the time, I can use the doctor's for short term. If needed after surgery, this is what I will buy.
