NEENCA Knee Brace for Knee Pain Relief, Medical Knee Support with Patella Pad & Side Stabilizers, Compression Knee Sleeve for Meniscus Tear, ACL, Arthritis, Joint Pain, Runner, Sport- FSA/HSA APPROVED

I am a month away from knee replacement. This past week has left my knee in excruciating pain when walking. I am very skeptical about knee braces. Thought I would try this one because I was at whit’s end with mobility issues. Upon putting this brace on, my knee actually felt really good. The compression and warmth from body heat in the brace were great. Not too tight, just right. I put this brace to the test while working in the yard, attending a sporting event and more. The weight bearing pain from bone-on-bone damage in my knee is not going to be resolved with any knee brace, but this brace enabled me to walk without experiencing the previous crippling pain.

Based on the sizing instructions and other reviews , I ordered an XL. Upon receiving, I could tell that it was going to be too large. It slid on very easy but not much “compression “. As soon as I started moving, it slid down below my knee cap. I contacted customer support and they sent me a size L which I quickly received! It fits perfectly and provides excellent support with no slippage when moving. It’s very well made and is comfortable to wear.

I own a variety of knee braces thanks to crappy knees and worn out cartilage and barely perceptible meniscus. Most often I can just get by wearing a sleeve, but occasionally when I've overdone it the day before, I'll need some stiff support for a week while the knee heals back to its baseline. I bought this brace to fill the gap between the super-duty brace with the external metal parts and just the fabric sleeve, and because it was the much cheaper alternative to the Bauerfeind which after years of use became worn out and finally had to be put to rest.This brace is well made, thick, and has great elastic recoil and does a great job with compression. The compression and heat that it provide definitely helps my knee feel better and with the thicker material and internal ribbing, has more stability and structure than just a simple sleeve.That being said, the stability offered by the side ribs is about average. Nothing particularly amazing. It's better than having nothing, but not by a huge margin. It's noticeable, but not amazing, and not even close to what the Bauerfeind offered. The patella pad kind-of helps stabilize my kneecap, but again, just barely. However, both of the internal ribs and patella cushion are soft and squishy and doesn't have any pinch points. From looking at the pictures I thought for some reason they were removable, but they're sewn in.Of course, this particular brace is a copy of the ridiculously expensive Bauerfeind knee braces. When comparing between the two, it's clearly evident that this one sold at a fraction of the price is a good copy, but it's just not as good. The most noticeable difference is that the knee pad isn't as comfortable or as supportive as the more expensive original. The lateral support is definitely not as strong either.For the price I paid, I'm satisfied with what I received and it functions well, but I'm going to save up and buy the original because that truly is noticeably better and I really miss how quicker my knee recovered and how much more supportive it was.

The sizing listed is dead on what you get ( correct ).!. The side bars help different ways.!. The center gel ring helps hold the brace in place plus it’s other purposes.!.The compression is firm like you want and because of the size being what you order it does a great job .!. It’s easy to put on and off .!. Over pants it fits solid and nice and stays there.!. I love it .!!!.

Good price, comfort and support for short term. After wearing the brace for over 8 hours and being active the silicone on the top to help from slippage tends be very irritable.Measured per instructions, ordered the correct size.

I bought one of the upgraded versions of this brace and found it to be a excellent brace at a reasonable price. I am now purchasing another for my other knee. I love the quality of the brace and it is very supportive for my knee. I had a sizing issue, contacted the company directly and they immediately responded with a different size for me, that fits great. I received the new brace in days. I would say they run a little tight, so if your measurement is close to the next size, you should go with the larger size. But I 100% recommend this brace and the company in general!!

My knees feel better almost immediately. I was surprised it worked so good. FSA also. Love it.

Only thing I didn’t like is it leaves a skin irritation at top of brace.I sized it 3 times from large to xxx large & it didn’t slide off my knee. Still had the skin irritation.I really like this brace. It’s comfortable & really helps with my knee pain.I’ved tried many knee braces. This is the best one. The cost was really reasonable. I’m keeping this one.
