FUTURO Comfort Knee Support with Stabilizers, Ideal for Sprains, Strains, and General Support, Breathable, Small

very sturdy, but comfortable, good price compared to local pharmacies, but had to change to a medium size when the small size, that I have worn in the past, were too small.

Surprised by how well this worked. I don't buy any of that over marketed brand that used to make special claims about the copper in their compression wear. Fururo has been around for ages and makes good products. It seemed a bit tight but that is just a sizing thing. It did help my knee feel better. Just don't wear it all of the time. These and others like them can allow your muscles to get sloppy because they are always being supported if you wear one too much.

I ordered two of these after my right MCL started to ache again after overuse. I have several more expensive knee braces made by other manufacturers, but this Futuro model seemed like a nice, breathable and affordable brace to wear around the house. I selected the size based on the Futuro sizing chart for this model. My knees measure 13.5 inches around the kneecap while standing, which correspond to a size Small (12 to 14.5 inches). When I received the two braces , I opened one of them and immediately noted that they were tiny. I pulled one on with great difficulty and concluded that it was terribly undersized; the braces were painfully constricting and cut off circulation. Since these items are classified as medical devices by Amazon, refunds or exchanges are not allowed, so I am stuck with them. I'll donate them to one of the local charities. The Futuro sizing chart is misleading. If you are not a child, and have thin legs and knees, then you probably should go with a size Medium. I suggest purchasing from a local pharmacy or sports supply store where you might be able to try one on before purchasing or exchange for a different size. I wish I had read the negative reviews about this product before placing the order. Overall, it was a waste of money and time.

This brace came highly recommended by a medical professional I know. I bought it to support my knee, which started hurting due to muscle imbalances. I'm a dancer and was performing in a musical at the time of purchase. I like the brace and the support it gives is good, but I give it 4 stars because the first one I bought was so tight, I struggled to get it off and on, which led to me breaking the elastic in the part that surrounds the knee, thus weakening the brace. This happened not long after purchasing, which I feel shouldn't have happened. I still wore that brace and it served me well, but I purchased a second brace in the same size to protect my other knee during the show and noticed that it seemed to have been made better and wasn't as horribly tight, resulting in it being easier to get on and off. I'm not worried about breaking the elastic on that one. Overall, I find it odd that one brace felt tighter than the other and had the issue of breaking while the second seemed to be made better.

I ordered this a few times now and only the first one I received was in good shape and I'm still using it for running till now. All the other "newer" supports I bought showed broken elastic around the knee after the first use. Very disappointed as I liked my first one very much. The only reason I put a 2 star instead of 1 star is because the one that isn't broken works well enough. I'll have to look into another value brand knee support now.

The brace is true to size, but the patella hole is very large. This makes it less supportive overall because the front of the brace is loose. I’d suggest getting a size smaller if you want a lot of support with limited patellar movement.

I have recently gotten back to playing a sport called Pickleball, similar to tennis but not nearly as hard on the joints. I do, however, have knee issues that are fired when in the lateral moves on court. This knee brace is extremely effective in keeping the knee joint stable throughout play which is pretty rigorous. I would highly recommend it for those of us who are not attracted to the idea of surgery but merely a device to stabilize This is the item you are looking for!

This knee support is perfect. I have purchased several brands over the years and none has fit me properly. This is the only one I have found that works for me. It applies enough pressure to alleviate my pain. I'm even back to bicycling again, as long as I wear the support. I am very happy to have found it and, if in the future I need to replace it, won't hesitate to buy more.
