CompressionZ Knee Brace Support - Compression Knee Sleeve for Running, Basketball, Volleyball, Crossfit, Workout, Sports Recovery Wraps - Joint Pain, Arthritis, Meniscus Tear, Patella Injury

I received the knee sleeves a couple of weeks ago. I wanted to wear them during my normal routines for a few days before commenting on them. I have shopped, put up Christmas lights, performed house cleaning and yard work, cooked for hours and walked my dog for several miles while wearing them.I have worn them every day since receiving them, and I find them to be very comfortable and helpful. I have bursitis in both of my knees. Possibly arthritis at this point. I used to do interval training (walking and running) for several years and lost over 100 pounds doing this. I hurt my knees May of 2013, and my knee issues are really making it difficult to keep my fitness level high. I must say that it is frustrating.I have purchased several knee braces (some for $100 each) and knee sleeves since May of last year. These CompressinZ knee sleeves have, without a doubt, given me some comfort during my daily routines. They do lower my pain level, however that being said, I still need heavier duty knee braces during exercise periods. I do understand that this product is not meant to alleviate pain or cure injuries during high stress periods. I am happy with this product and would recommend them to others.Also, I measured 17 inches at the point above the knee and purchased the Small size and they fit perfectly.

I have the blue Rehbands and SBD sleeves for when I squat and wear the Tommie Copper sleeves on non-leg days at the gym to keep my knees warm because I have old man knees. After having the Coppers for less than one year, they started to slip down as I walk around the gym. So I decided to give CompressionZ knee sleeves a try to replace my Coppers. The CompressionZ are great for keeping my knees warm on non-leg days in the gym and light cardio. They don't provide extreme compression like the Rehbands and SBDs, which is a good thing. The compression is similar to the Tommie Coppers. Just enough so it is comfortable and keep your knees warm. You have to pull the CompressionZ sleeves way up for them to stay up. I pull them up literally where my boxer briefs end. I wear the CompressionZ to the office after leg days to keep my knees warm. I have a desk job so not much walking. Notwithstanding, I still have to pull them up once for a 9 hour day which is not too inconvenient. Overall a good pair off knee sleeves to keep knees healthy and warm.Lastly, I didn't measure my thighs per the instructions but I know that my knees are around 15.5 inches in circumference and ordered the medium, which fits perfectly.

I am very happy with these. Surgery in the near future. (Again!) My knee has a torn meniscus and arthritis and the pain gets unbearable sometimes. Especially when I'm TRYING to sleep. I've had this problem a few times before, but I never remember the pain being so bad. These sleeves actually seem to work quite well. Had some fit issues because I am at the cusp of M & L size. More into Large according to the chart, but they needed to be a little tighter. Their customer service gladly gave me their thoughts and advice, then quickly & painlessly sent me a pair of Mediums. Took my return large, no problem. The mediums work very well. Material might seem thin, but get the right size and it does the trick. **Good length too.** This gives you more support. Others, (of which I have many,) are just too short.Plus their customer service is tops! Thanks heaps Stacey !

Several other people have done a pretty good job of reviewing these, so I will only address more specific issues in this review.ABOUT ME: I'm in my early 30's. I exercise or take part in a physical activity between 4 - 6 days a week. I am in moderately good shape. I do not have any permanent knee problems, though I like to be preventative now that I am beginning to enter middle-age.WHAT I USE THIS PRODUCT FOR: I use this product for aerobic/cardio exercise, Karate, and Sport Fencing.KARATE: My style of karate employs kicks from the knee, as opposed to the hip. As a result, there is a great deal of stress on my knees. These sleeves do a great job of compressing the muscles together, as well as aiding my post training recovery. It also helps keep my knees from developing pain from the standing/moving around during training and stances. I don't think these would be very good for grappling styles of martial arts (BJJ, Judo, Sambo, etc). I think they'd probably slip too much. However, for most standing arts like Karate or Boxing, I think they would be a good choice... Maybe not so good for TKD or Thai boxing though as those are much more leg focused. You would probably encounter the same problem I do with Fencing (see below).AEROBIC/CARDIO: I used to do beachbody programs (P90X, T25, etc). Given my schedule and obligations, I only cherry pick the cardio discs from those programs and do them about twice a week on the days I'm not doing Karate or Fencing. That said, these give my knees the minimal support I need when doing those workouts. I rarely have any knee pain or issues after wearing these. If you have serious knee pain or problems, you may want to look elsewhere. These provide light support and circulation, not PT/professional grade stability.FENCING: These really aren't very good for fencing. First, they slide down my knee during lunges. Second, my knickers seem to pull down the sleeves even when I'm not lunging, causing them to slowly shimmy down my leg.CUSTOMER SERVICE: This company has outstanding customer service. I was between a small and a medium. The company quickly rectified the sizing issue by sending me the right size.QUALITY: The sleeves are made of a thin material, very similar to underarmor heat compression shirts. I was, and still am, a little skeptical. Though they work great now, I'm not entirely sure how long they will hold up. Second, these sleeves do have a tendency to slide down your leg during any activity until you begin to sweat. Once you start sweating, they seem to stick better and stay on well. You may find yourself consantly pulling them up your leg for the first 5-10 minutes of exercise.OVERALL: I am satisfied with this purchase, and will consider purchasing them again; so long as these last me at least a year or two.

Its exactly what I imagined they would be. Offers some support to the knee. Not quite as tight as a knee brace, but helps a bit. The fabric fits well and feels light. Some of the rubber ring is flaking off on one of them, but it doesnt affect the performance of the sleeve, just how it looks. I would suggest it if you need mild knee support. On a different note, the seller was very good in communicating about the product too. definitely recommend

These knee sleeves are really excellent - they alleviated my knee pains completely, without being constrictive in any way and didn't stop my blood circulation like others do. I would most certainly recommend these sleeves. They are nice and thin too, so don't show under trousers, jeans etc. Fantastic!

I dislocated my knee and stretched ligaments a couple of months ago and these sleeves are making it a hell of a lot easier to flex my knee and go to the gym. I wear them all the time to do physio. They have made a great difference in my life.

Quality of item looked good and am sure it would have been a 5 star product but unfortunately the size recommendation on the website and box was incorrect -so product was too small - so could not use - we ordered a small to fit a knee of 15-17 inches - the sleeve would only fit 8-10inches at best

I am pleased with the product.

Had to send back as far too big
