Futuro Stabilising Knee Support - Large

I have been using this brand of knee brace for years. I love the support it provides and the comfort.I however am disappointed with Walmart. I ordered 2 larges, and they sent 1 large and 1 medium. I am having a problem returning or exchanging the medium. This makes on line shopping such a bother,

Changed to Cheaper material

Over the years, I have purchased over eight pairs of Futuro Stabilizing Knee Supports (46164) (medium) for both my knees to use while exercising and walking. I have been very pleased with the product until I just purchased two more. I immediately noticed they looked different (light color) and my others were darker tan. I compared the product number and they were the same. I assumed this was a updated item. I was wrong. After wearing them only two times, the seams are unraveling and they will not probably last a month if that long. I'm not sure what material change was made but they are not the quality I had previously purchased. It is not worth me sending them in for refund so I will just trash them and move onto another manufacturing. Very disappointed since I was ... MoreOver the years, I have purchased over eight pairs of Futuro Stabilizing Knee Supports (46164) (medium) for both my knees to use while exercising and walking.

Excellent value for price.

Excellent value for price. It was much more expensive at our CVS. My husband has been using this product for years.. and he finally felt the need for new ones. He uses them to walk .... as he has bad knees. Timely delivery too.

Inaccurate sizing

Inches in circumference are inaccurate. It says it fits up to 19.5” for the size large. My thigh where the top sits is 18”. The brace was cutting off the circulation in my leg. The patella hole was not wide enough on my patella bone and applying too much pressure. I had to remove the brace within the first 30 minutes in more pain than I was in before putting it on. I will be returning and hoping to find a brace that actually fits an 18” thigh. So far striking out on a few different braces.

It works... ish

Good support/compression but unfortunately could only get a size L, which was a bit too snug. But fits under most pants/skirts nicely so wasn’t too cumbersome to deal with wearing all day at work.

Nice verify size your way...

To clarify size ... I measured my thigh where it will go above knee which is 19" my knee and lower leg right below knee are 14.5" I'm 175lbs 5' 5" carry most lb gut. I got large and it gives med support as described. I couldn't go smaller or larger. It's nice quality time will tell. It slips on. No odors. Hope helps

Petite Woman Athlete - great support

I bought this 2 yrs ago after a meniscus tear . I was a professional tennis player for 2 yrs after many yrs in jr's and college- so my knees have been compromised for yrs. I was told I need meniscus surgery at level 3/5 tear and 2/5 tear in both knees. This brace on both knees during play allows me enough support to play a good doubles match with no problems. I have a full hinged brace but it is too limiting to move on court. This brace keeps my weak knees stable without causing further injury and still allows me to move good enuf. Bonus- I can hide them under my capri tns skirt So my opponents have no idea that im hurt. Going on year 3 of using them. (Of course I NO longer go for too much or play singles and ice after each match to also protect my knees) so far ... MoreI bought this 2 yrs ago after a meniscus tear .

So painful to wear. Worst product ever

It is so painful to wear. Measured my leg to make sure I got the right size. It fits perfectly around my thigh. But my calf muscle!!! Because of the much narrower widh, it compresses so badly that it made my calf muscle blue.Don´t buy it!

This works!

Purchased the adjustable version first which I quickly returned. It was too small and had little effect on knee pain. Got this brace instead and wore it all day. Stabilized the knee and definitely helped to limit the pain. The sizing runs small, I purchased the large size which was perfect, snug enough to help but comfortable enough to wear for several hours. My knee is 18 inches around at the widest part. Highly recommend this product.

Worth the money!!

Been looking for a non neoprene knee brace (because they smell like burnt rubber) and this has no odor. I am 5'7 and 130 lbs and the large fits great. Any tighter would be too tight. So far it's keeping my loose kneecap in place!!
