Superior Braces OA Unloader Knee Brace for Arthritis Pain, Osteoarthritis, Knee Joint Pain and Degeneration, Universal Size, FITS LEFT LEG LATERAL and RIGHT LEG MEDIAL, Gray & Black (Left)

I purchased my brace for $84.49, after looking at the closest competition on Amazon and on the net, this brace appears to be of the same quality of braces costing 2 to 4 times as much as I paid for my brace. The brace does a good job of relieving pain and is fairly comfortable, the hinges work well enough. One issue that took a bit of work was realizing that the brace should be fitted without any pain evident, it's easier to wear all day and is still very effective. Now I know that this is not the best brace around but for the money, I believe that it's the best buy and again, a terrific price.

It has taken some getting used to, but I do feel more confident wearing the brace than when I don't wear it. My biggest issue is that sometimes the velcro straps can rub the back of my knee a little raw. They are more comfortable than it could be, but still rubs a little. The 2 best things I'll say about this brace are 1. the price. This brace is 1/8 the cost of some others quoted to me, and works really well. The PT that recommended the unloader style brace was very impressed with this one, and happy to give a more affordable option to her clients. 2. the company. I had an issue with my brace, and they were able to address the issue very quickly and very efficiently. They responded to my email within the day, and send me what I needed within a few days.

Brace looked like it could support the knee for sports. Write-up by seller sounded ok. I currently have a name brand brace made of carbon fiber so was looking for something lightweight easy-on easy-off. This brace lacked in all the crucial areas. My first red flag should have been that the brace came labelled "left" when I ordered a Right knee brace. I guess the fact that it was a "universal fit" also should have given me pause when ordering it so my bad on not paying attention. Second red flag was the filmsy plastic when unboxing the brace and the minimal padding. Good thing I'd ordered a sleeve to go under it. So put on the brace and went out to throw the football with the kids and after about 5 minutes the filmsy plastic is digging into my skin through the sleeve. Thanks goodness for the sleeve. Then the too big strap at my calf gives way and come undone as seems like the maker was skimping on the velcro to keep the straps secure......there goes the "unloader" stability. now granted this is not a custom brace, but with that said the writeup on it was inaccurate at best. I'd suggest getting something with a harder plastic material and leg specific. This brace was too much of a hassle and didnt deliver on its advertising

Ehh great fit not for long term use

Overall, works okay. I am on the heavier side. So I’m not sure how that is affecting the braces performance. But the strap labeled three, never stays in place and constantly falls down; even when under clothes. Overall, it didn’t get too hot and as long as I position the straps correctly; the brace can be worn for hours before any chafing. Idk if it’s worth the 80ish dollars though
