So far so good. Pro seems to work to adjust outside of knee to unload medial part of knee with alignment adjustment. Con is they only have one siz fits all. I am tall and have long legs. Seems to provide adequate coverage. Hinge joint could be tighter.Been walking around on a sore knee for months. I fell and torqued R knee and finally sought treatment after it was not improving, MRI confirmed injury to medial ligament and meniscus. Brace helps to relive medial joint pain until surgery can be scheduled. I assume with doc approval I can wear post op. I have a custom made cti for left leg after acl reconstruction years ago. Years of sports wrecks, ski wrecks, MC wrecks both knee joints in poor condition.

I have a High Grade II torn MCL with 80% or so and grade I ACL tear. I was in a wheel chair or walker all week until this came in. I literally could walk with almost a normal gate with this immediately. AMAZING! I have had this injury even worse many years ago and I've used full leg immobilizers, crutches, I have a neoprene sleeves, wraps, and a knee brace with metal stays to stop twisting or lateral motion, THIS PRODUCT hands down beats them all. This was worth every penny and more.The product: Tt's hella light, padded on every strap, the straps (thick and relatively soft for being sturdy and very adjustable), the hinge is robust and geared and has range of motion stops that are simple to install with the provided hardware. It keeps your knee open to breath or wrap for patella stabilization, and the hinge adjust angle for medial vs lateral pressure and to adjust pressure placement on the knee. Also the strap pads are rubberized to prevent slipping and it really helps reduce load on the knee OMG what a relief! It really makes a huge difference and has already (in a matter of days) lead to gains in recovery just by knowing I'm protected I've pushed harder and used increased range of motion.BUY IT NOW, so cheap for someone with a knee injury it's a no brainerNOTE about 4 stars: I rated it 4 stars in Pain and Comfort, BUT realize it can only do so much as I have a serious injury there will still be some occasional pain (nothing outside of drugs can change that....hard pass). For comfort; it's as comfortable as a robust brace can be...it can't offer the relief without being tight and restrictive to a degree. I've worn many braces and honestly this thing is fantastic...just wanted to offer some insight into my ratings

This brace works as it says it does. I'm putting off the inevitable knee surgery. I'm 52 years old and work in the industrial maintenance field. The prolonged standing on concrete, constant squatting and the occasional hyper-extension of my knee has taken a toll. I am also bow-legged due to the injuries and riding motorcycles all of my life. The brace straps are easy to set up. After a few tries with the extension/flexion inserts, I found a happy medium in the support. The side adjustment was easy to set up, I just turned the screw to where I felt some pressure to the side needed. The only draw back to this brace is after 2 days of wearing, I had water blisters from where the straps wrapped around my leg. Probably from where raised rubber anti-slip strips are. I'm hoping this reaction will subside. However, the heat indices are over 100 degrees in N. Alabama and may be caused by heat and sweat.

Unfortunately, this brace didn't work for me. It was so difficult to put on because of all the velcro straps sticking together. It's of good quality and I m sure others might be able to work with it, but it was very difficult for me.

My 86 yr old father-in-law is stubborn and has had bone-on-bone knee pain for years he dragged his leg behind him as he walked and it was painful finally went to a Orthopedic Dr who told him that because of his heart he is too old for surgery and shots would not work so he suggested a custom made brace which was going to cost $1,100 and insurance said they would not pay for the custom one because it was not a result of an injury. So he gave up I looked on Amazon and after researching and finding the one that most closely resembles the custom one and purchased took two day to arrive via FedEx in the middle of the Adirondacks. He was eager to try it out, it came with its own small easy to use tool to make some fine tuning adjustments and in a couple of minutes it was on and he was able to walk normal again with NO pain. Extremely well made product NOT cheaply made…Finally a quality product the way things use to be made. Thank you

First off, I was sent a used product with zero instructions and zero tools. So I returned the first one for exchange. I have weakness in my legs and a rotation of my lumbar spine that have led to my slightly knock-knee'd right knee becoming slightly more bent inward than left. Strengthening is the only thing that will avoid this getting worse, but I also have arthritis in my knees and ankles, so the movement necessary for strengthening is painful. Thus the search for a brace. This supposedly was for right leg, but with support only on the lateral side of the leg, there wasn't really any support for the inside.The way it is built, it seems durable, but pricey.One good feature is that you only have to adjust the velcro once, then use a release clip to put it on and take it off thereafter.This is unrelated to the product itself, but in my return, I designated that my refund should be applied to my original payment source. Instead, Amazon put it on an Amazon gift card. I do not appreciste that. I pay off my balances every month, and them putting it on an Amazon gift card gauruntees I spend my refund at Amazon. That's underhanded, so I thought I'd warn folks.

Arrived on January 4th and wore for a month. Fit good seemed to help but hinges fell apart on Feb 4th. For the money it should have lasted way longer.
