FUTURO Sport Knee Support, Ideal for Athletic and Everyday Activities, One Size Black

Protect your knees
Best so far for knee support

Very comfortable, average support
I have knee arthritis, and have tried everything short of knee replacement for pain relief. In an effort to continue my favorite activities (dancing and cycling), I decided to order several knee braces and test them out. Although most helped, some gave more support than others, and were more comfortable to wear. Here is a summary of my findings:Futuro Sport Moisture Control Knee Support – good support, but hot, sweaty, and not very comfortable. Restricted movement. The knee cutout didn’t fit around my kneecap very well. Big, black, and ugly. Why do manufacturers think we need to advertise that we are wearing a brace?Futuro Stablizing Knee Support – a simple elastic sleeve. At least this one was beige, but still hot and restricted movement some. Good support.Cho-Pat Dual Action Knee Strap – the double knee strap seems to provide very good support, but when you bend your knee, the edges dig in to your skin. Very uncomfortable, restricted movement significantly. Worst of all, the prickly side of the velcro faces out and gets stuck on your clothing or scratches your other leg.Bracoo Knee Strap – simple but effective – good support and comfortable to wear. Could be worn above or below the knee – two of these would mimic the Cho-Pat but be far more comfortable, without restricting movement – although it might not be big enough if your leg muscles are large above the knee.Neo G Medical Grade VCS Jumpers Knee Patella Band Strap – The silicone pad on this provided very good support on either side of the patella to help stablize it. Good comfort and mobility. Only gripes – it was not beige, and when worn on the left knee, the velcro strap must go on the inside, where it can get knocked loose by your right leg brushing against it.Futuro Sport Adjustable Knee Strap – Very comfortable. The molded padding provides some lateral support, but not quite as much as the Neo G.Jumper’s Patellar Tendon Strap with Silicone Pad by Oppo Medical – Very comfortable, but only places pressure on the center of the patella, not the sides – and therefore did little to help me. Might be helpful for other conditions. Very unobtrusive.My choice? For workouts and biking, Neo G below and Bracoo above the knee. For dancing – Neo G – unless I’m wearing pantyhose, in which case either of the Futuros would be less likely to snag. For everyday wear – the Futuro knee strap – A little less support but a lot more comfort.

Not the same as my last one
This was to replace an older Futuro knee brace, but I should have read the description better – this one doesn’t have stabilizers on the side and didn’t hold my knee in place like the last one I had. Just be aware of this if you order it. I’m sure it works fine for the person who just needs a little support.

Very small & defective fastener
This was too small for my leg. I’m a bit fat, and my legs aren’t very fat or big although there is mild swelling around my arthritic knee.A worse problem though is even if this fit me, the hooky part of the velcro faces away from the from the fuzzy part when this is put on properly. So there is no way to attach it using the velcro.I’ve used other ordinary patella straps. I read the instructions & watched the video. I’m sure I’m not putting it on inside out.Seems nuts how small it is! Other straps have fit me well.Returning!

This knee strap did not suit me as I found the Velcro touching my skin was extremely uncomfortable.
