20 Best Knee Sleeves For Running (2023 Updated)

I purchased this knee brace in a medium and measured the correct width of my knee, however the springs on the side were digging in my skin. I emailed customer service and they replied 4 hours later stating they would gladly replace at no fee the brace for a size large.

This brace is incredibly comfortable and holds my knee in place while playing pickleball! I highly recommend any brace from this company!.

It’s an incredible products. My knee goes out sometimes for five times a day, and with that knee brace I can walk without My brace, It is incredibly comfortable I would not hesitate to buy it again

I have varicose eczema which makes my legs so very itchy over last year I have tried so many creams and lotions and nothing has helped till I started using Eurex cream it really does stop the itch with a few minutes.

After 6 years of volleyball, I developed knee pain in my left knee. Trying many different trainings/strengthening and other knee compression sleeve and braces from other sports stores. I finally decided it was time to purchase something we see all pro athletes wear.

After several weeks of wear, I have noticed very little to no pain in my left knee. The sports knee support is very comfortable to wear for long sessions fo training (up to 2hrs). I highly recommend this anyone athlete dealing with knee pain.

The knee support is kind of doing the job and holding everything together while I strengthen my upper leg muscles again. It’s hard to pull on, though, and get that little knee cap donut in the right place.

AND taking it off is impossible after a workout when I’m sweaty. They ONLY way to do it is pull it inside out, which it tells you not to do. I have high riding knee caps and so I have to pull it up extra high and so I have muffin tops which are quite embarrassing.

When they are particularly bad I wear a running skort to cover them (especially after a friend made quite an unkind comment). It’s early days to know if this is going to do the job. I did use the online sizing guide and app but I think it may have pointed me to a size too small.

But they are so expensive, the thought of buying 2 more in the next size up does not thrill me.

Purchased to use for Taekwondo training. I have been using Elastoplast for the past 5 years due to them being more economical which did the job more or less but after using Bauerfeind I would never use anything else again.

Very happy, I had a niggling knee issue that has been there for a year now and I’ve always aggravated it more by training. After using the Bauerfeind knee brace I have found that my knee has actually healed whilst training and I am getting less and less pain from it.

Should have bit the bullet a lot sooner in hindsight.

I use the OS1st KS7 Performance Knee Sleeve on both knees. They work great (I run, walk, yoga, weights). I feel no twinges or pain in my knees doing these activities while wearing the sleeves. BUT if I wear them for more than a few hours the skin beneath the top and bottom edges gets a rash– red and inflamed.

The rash remains for a couple of days and I can’t wear the sleeves. Once rash is gone, then I can use them again. I’ve learned to wear them for the activity and remove immediately. I am 5′ 6″ and 103 lbs.

I wear a small. The sleeves fit smooth–not too tight.

I bought these knee sleeves due to all the testimonies about their effectiveness. I don’t get knee pain per se when I run, the pain usually concentrates around my knees and eventually my knees and my IT bands will start hurting.

After going to some sports medicine clinic, having a trainer, foam rolling and what-have-yous, I’m at a point where I am willing to try anything. These sleeves worked! What!? I don’t know the science behind why applying compression on your muscles work, but these sleeves definitely compressed something enough that I did not feel *any* discomfort during my run.

I have bad osteoarthritis in my knees and I am so happy with these knee compression guards- I have used many other types but these are 100% better. I am on my feet all day at work, squatting/ bending (I’m a nurse) and after 12 hrs my knees feel great.

I have recommended these for many of my nursing friends.

I have been using it for 5 days on Vacation. We are walking and standing all daylong at Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens. The knee brace has helped tremendously. The first day I wore it, my knee cap felt a little sore on a couple pressure points from the brace keeping my knee straight, but it went away over night and has not bothered me.

I am guessing that we have walked 12,000 steps each day and probably more at the amusement park. I didn’t think that I would be able to do that, since walking a mile without the brace had previously left my knee very sore and limping.

The brace is small (which is a huge advantage) so doesn’t sweat too much or rub. It is really hot in Virginia in August. I would suggest to cut the little size tag off, as that rubbed on my opposite leg, so was annoying.

The manufacturer should put the tag in a different location. Overall very happy with the brace.

The knee support I believe to be the right size, delivery of the item was actually early so that was wonderful, the quality of the support was great. Here’s the problem. The design. I have torn meniscus on both sides of both of my knees and my ACL on my left knee is just gone, I desperately need support when walking.

The problem I have found with ALL supports I have tried is they don’t STAY where you put them, they slide down. I have tried countless supports and have tried everything I know to keep this from happening but have had no luck.

It doesn’t matter how tight I pull the straps or whether I wear it on the inside or outside of my clothes, it will NOT stay in place. You were my last hope. I guess fat people are just sol.

This was my second of these braces. It is a little different in some features form my first one but still works as well or better than the first one. I wasn’t sure if I would like the longer straps but they have turned out to be OK.

The fabric is a little lighter but still offers plenty of support and the lighter weight is a plus when exercising. Very pleased.

Looks and feels good. However I work standing all day and by the 12th hour of wearing it the bottom elastic has bruised my calf. I need to switch to a different style, maybe the Velcro. It would be great except for my work demands.

I’ll go back on line and see what I can find that may work better.

I purchased this knee Sleeve, for my knees, these are the only Neoprene knee sleeves that fit properly, and Don’t slide down my leg. Keeps my knees warm and gives both ones support. Does your knees hurt,.

IšverstiShow in original languageBought for husband who wears it daily for twisted knee injury. Waiting to make an appt after quarantine. Very sturdy, size large has a looser top than another brand purchased from CVS.

IšverstiShow in original languageLoving this sleeve. Makes everything feel better. Should come with better washing instructions.

This compression sleeve is awesome. My knee was swollen and hurt to walk and even woke me up at night hurting. I wore the compression sleeve for about a week and my knee is not hurting at all now. Thanks Copper Fit (ice).

Saved me the expense of going to the doctor.

It really does have a cooling effect! Slight hold on my knee. Makes me more confident and comfortable while running! I do feel like it holds everything in place. Never rolls or folds. Bought one for my mom too!.

These are really quite reliable knee compression sleeves, I mainly use them for periods of extended time on my feet due to my bad knees. The soreness and pain in my knees from hiking, standing or lifting is greatly reduced whilst wearing these.

They usually last me around 6 months, which for $25 a sleeve seems like a good amount of time of use for the price. While it’s advertised with a “non-slip design” I find I get a fair bit of slippage on newer sleeves and the lower part of the sleeve that rests on the top of the calf rolls up a bit.

However, I see these as minor inconveniences as once the silicone is a little wet and is allowed to stick to the skin a bit, the sleeves don’t slip all that much for a while. I only have to pull them back up after a few hours once they stop sliding initially.

The rolling of the lower part of the sleeve isn’t all that annoying, though I feel like it would cut off some circulation if you sized down for a tighter fit, but this is also easily fixed by adjusting it, as I find it only really happens when I get in and out of a car while wearing them.

Given these are easily remedied and the knee being the weird joint it is, I see no point in docking stars for something that is bound to happen, even with a more expensive sleeve. I’ve worn these in all seasons an can say it won’t make you feel warmer in the summer or chafe, even with the cotton material.

On the opposite end in the winter they actually keep my legs warm as well, not as well as pants but I’ve worn them when running in the winter with only gym shorts on my legs and it was warm enough to run a 5k.

Overall I would definitely recommend a set of these if you have pain or soreness in your knee(s), they help tons and make my knees feel almost brand new when I wear them.

The compression banding and force in the main body of the product is as expected, and works as well as my other Zensah products (ankle and shin sleeves). However, the top band is definitely not meant for long-wearing.

For a workout/event 1-2 hours on your feet, the fit is perfect. For 5-8 hours even compression to heal from an injury or swelling, the top band becomes very uncomfortable (especially if sitting with knee bent).

I wish this had an alternate product listing redesigned for long-wearing and either without this top band or a looser/different material band. It would be nice to have this available in more fun colors as well.

Therapeutic products don’t have to look dreary and it was a disappointment to find that the delightful colors that Zensah offers for other products were not available here.

Overall, I rate the Compression Knee Sleeve at five stars, as it is designed and intended to function. The fabric of the Knee Sleeve is lighter, but stronger and more compressive, than the fabric of my Zensah Calf Sleeves, and the top band is amply wide and very comfortable.

For knee joint compression it does a great job. The issue for me is that I wish it was available in longer lengths. Given that the average woman is 5′-5″ and the average man is 5′-10″; I assume the Sleeve is nominally designed somewhere around the anatomy of a 5′-7.

5″ human. Unfortunately, I’m 6′-4″ and 200 lbs. , and thus when I place the sleeve over my knee-cap in the position indicated by the fabric pattern, although the top of the sleeve is well positioned on my thigh, the bottom of the sleeve is truly above my calf muscle and the constriction of the bottom band soon becomes uncomfortable and causes throbbing in my calf muscle.

Because of this I only wear the Knee Sleeve in conjunction with the Calf Sleeve – that resolves the comfort-constriction issue. I would suggest that maybe Zensah consider making the sleeve in long or tall sizes.

Also, however, I would really like to see Zensah produce a full-leg sleeve out of the knee sleeve fabric – a sleeve that covered from the top of the thigh to the ankle. I think a lot of people would buy that.

I have been suffering with knee pain for many years. I have tried so many braces, some are to tight stopping my circulation, uncomfortable. This is so inexpensive I didn’t think it would work. I was surprised! You get 2 of them.

The first one was to big that I order, I contacted the seller. he sent me a smaller size even though I was the one that made the error. I have been wearing them and if feels so weird not to feel the pain I was feeling.

Every time I get up from a chair I prepare to feel the pain like usual but now. I can just get up. thank you thank you thank you. I highly recommend this product as well as the seller <3.

I was so pleasantly surprised to receive this exceptional quality knee brace (a pair) at such a reasonable price and within a couple of days of ordering. I am so selective in my purchases and, especially, online.

I was so hesitant and stressed out trying to make a decision. I’m glad I made the right decision in choosing this brand and ordering from this vendor. I am an active 74 year old woman and have never worn any type of brace before now.

I highly recommend this Spencer Knee Brace and the Vendor, Gustave Inc. It is everything as advertised.

I like the fit and support of this knee sleeve. Make sure you buy it big enough to not constrict your leg too much. This is not a problem with this sleeve. It’s just what you have to think of when buying any sleeve.

IšverstiShow in original languageI have had knee problems for years and due to a fall 4 yr. ago find things worse. Have bone on bone in right knee and non union of bone in femur on left knee plus osteoarthritis in both knees.

You have the only sleeve large enough to be comfortable and not cut into my leg but give the support I need. Love the strap. If placed correctly and snug it does keep the sleeve from rolling which is another comfort factor.

IšverstiShow in original languagemy son is 9 almost 10. a bit husky like his dad. he’s around kids sizing 12/14 that area. these knee pads in the “large” size cant even make it past his calf. oh and the BEST part, is that when trying to take it off after the attempt to get it on, the seam behind the knee ripped, so now im out a 75 dollar pair of knee pads that he cant wear and cant return.

the sizing, options and fitment are VERY SUBPAR, totally did not expect this from a big company like fox. really let down by this. i have to buy adult knee pads for my ten year old. seriously? its not like he’s fat or obese.

100% one star product due to this. same issue on their helmets also, youth large IS NOT for “youth” more adept for “kids/toddlers”.

When I first saw the Copper Compression ad on TV, I thought, “What voodoo is this?” Nothing so simple could help this poor body. But I went to the website for more information. After seeing their guarantee, I ordered a pair of Copper Compression Arthritis Gloves- Half Finger for hands recovering from repetitive trauma —too much heavy liftingؙ— and two Copper Compression Power-Knit Knee Sleeves.

If the pictured soccer player really did wear them in games, they were perfect for legs running and twirling around a cement floor during five-hour shifts helping supermarket customers check out. The first night I wore the gloves to bed, they bothered me.

I wasn’t used to the feel of them, but by morning the continuous swelling was down. I set them aside. I pulled on the knee sleeves for work and to my surprise I fairly danced through my shift and afterwards I walked to the car without the usual fatigue.

Now I wear them every day I work and I can compete with my co-workers, most 30-years younger, without the old exhaustion and discomfort. I tried wearing the gloves at night again and soon realized I was waking up every morning without the crippling pain in my thumbs and fingers.

Now I wear them every night. I soon decided I should be wearing some kind of lighter support on my legs, days off, when dog walking every morning, mowing the lawn and doing other chores. I ordered two Copper Compression Recovery Knee Sleeves.

But when they came the size was not right. I emailed the Support team at Copper Compression and within hours I had a reply. They sent me a new replacement pair in a larger size and told me not to bother sending back the smaller ones, which I donated to a team of young athletes.

And the new lighter knee sleeves fit and work perfectly. I walk and feel 20 years younger. And I have energy all day long. My point is the Copper Compression products really work. But you need to look at them all carefully to find the ones just right for your needs and recovery.

And the company is one you can trust to do business with. If you need help, email the Support Team. It’s worth the effort. Oh, did I mention I have two artificial knees, an artificial hip and 83 years behind me? Thanks to Copper Compression, I’m still going strong.

It’s a five-star company for sure! And nobody paid me to write this review.

I have purchased the Power Knit Knee sleeve, and the heavy duty knee brace. I wear the heavy duty knee brace when I go for walks, and the Power Knit knee sleeve for almost ever time else. Both the brace and the sleeve keep me from feeling any pain while moving.

I don’t wear either at home, but my movement is limited in that circumstance. I would recommend both products! The brace takes some extra care in putting on or you can get some points that rub due to a slot in the back meant, I assume, to help the knee be able to bend.

I put it on, and walk around a bit before venturing out, to see if it is comfortable. Usually try to put the middle strap around that opening. Makes it more comfortable.

Message my leg just the way size chart you have. Order X. L. And they are too small so again I lose $85. 00 Dollars. Or pay for shipping back and driving all around town using gas & Time. This has not been the first Time.

But The Last. They say they stay up on your knees NOT “ Same thing happened with all 6” others I purchased this time I really thought hey They have got it Right. X. L. Cuts into your legs in about 30 minutes and if you don’t get it off your going to have a very bad day.

They put something like rubber band inside to hold it up put that start slipping down and pulling your Bain out Thur Your Knees. Believe me if I bought stock in knee sleeve I be a very rich man.
