Plus Size Knee Brace XL-8XL,Stable Support of The Decompression Knee, Effective Relief of ACL, Arthritis, Meniscus Tear, Adjustable Compression Band, Suitable for Men and Women (5XL-6XL)

These are great! It takes a few tries to get them on but eventually you'll get the hang of it. They adjust as tight or as loose as you want them. I wear ace bandage under them on bare legs, which helps with chafing and sliding down.I can walk and work much longer without pain or popping knees that buckle me under. These are the best I have ever tried, and they are very reasonably priced. I hope they last a while, but I will probably buy the same again once they are shot. :-) I had a 22" measurement, and I choose the 5X-6X. They fit well but I might have been able to use one size smaller.

I have owned many knee braces over the years. This one blows them all away. The amount of support straps actually keep the knee cap hole in place. I was a little confused on the way to strap it on. There are detailed instructions in the box.Read those instructions as it is a little different than other braces.

I have had a knee problem off and on for most of my 50+ years. The past year is more on than off, and I finally gave in and looked for a brace my size. I received it yesterday, and while I do wish the metal supports were a little further apart so they were on each side of my knee more, I do have to say that it is working well so far. I also like that it is open behind the knee, instead of sitting like a sleeve that bunches up when I bend my knee. It took a little trial and error to find the right tightness on the various straps, but once I did that I’ve had no problems with it sliding down. I was up and down a step ladder more times and I can count today painting crown molding, and normally I would be crippled right now, but I’m still paying free and able to walk. Looking forward to finally being able to get out and walk more to get exercise so I can lose some of this weight, because up until now I’ve had a very hard time with mobility.

I followed the sizing chart but it's too big, it slips down as I walk. It's well made, I just wish the sizing chart was more accurate.

I have larger legs than most and this brace was perfect for

The plus size was the correct size for me. It is slip resistant and works like it was supposed to. The material seems durable, but I won't know just how durable until I've used it for a year. It has relieved much of the knee pain and I can put off my surgery for at least several months.

This is just a brace made for smaller “standard size” people but with extra long straps. It doesn’t take into consideration the actual scale of larger legs needing the supports further apart so that they’re placed correctly.While the straps are plenty long enough for larger legs, the actual brace mechanics aren’t. I purchased the 7x-8x and the straps fit around my leg fine (my measurements are - upper thigh: 35.5”, knee: 25.5”, lower leg/calf: 26.5”).The problem is that the hinged metal supports are in a fixed position about 4” on either side of the center of the knee. As you can see in the pictures, this places them in the front of my knee rather than on the sides, so they do nothing to actually support the knee while walking.Not to mention that the neoprene-type material both slides and rolls down. I found it impossible to keep the top strap flat on my leg, it constantly just twisted and rolled.Suggestions to the manufacturer for improvement:1) The layout of the brace needs to be completely reconfigured to accommodate actually large legs. The front section of the brace needs to be much wider, the metal hinge supports need to be further away from the knee support “donut” to accommodate larger knees.2) The straps should be twice as wide and a less flexible material to help prevent twisting, rolling, or folding of the straps.3) Your brand is one of the only options on Amazon for my size range; improving the form/function of this brace would make it an actually viable, affordable option for larger people.

Holds leg good I feel better. But my ankle swells some times
