Great product great customer service

Dealing with patellar tendonitis prior to ordering the knee straps. I tried several different products, and ultimately I liked the donjoy knee straps the best. They provided mild pain relief when the symptoms were at their worse. I have continued using these while I run I did notice I recovered more quickly by using the knee straps. Since the use of the straps, my knee pain is almost completely gone after a few weeks of use. I have been running approximately 20-25 miles a week with the assistance of these straps. I also found the quality of the straps to be greater than the other straps I tested which also had high reviews. The knee straps give great support to the knee cap and patella tendon.I did have a small discomfort behind my leg where the straps were located. I realized I was tightening the straps too much causing the issues. Once i loosed the straps a little the discomfort went away, but they still provided ample support.

I bought two, one for each knee. The company sent me two different styles for some reason. The difference is in how the Velcro attaches. One has a longer Velcro strap than the other. Time will tell which one is better. I do like the comfort aspect of these, as I have worn many different types of knee straps. I like that they are very lightweight. The Velcro strap is not a game changer. I can always sew on a longer strap if I need to.

Decent patellar support

Keeps the patella in place & supported, but it has to be pulled super tight to have any effect, & after about 10mins of wearing it, the pain took over & it became pointless. I still had to limp the rest of the way back to my car from my hike & my knee felt like it was going to explode.

Really helps support

This is the 3rd strap in 6 weeks that has broken. It is not durable enough for collegiate athletics. Do not waste your money if your player is physical and is on the floor diving for balls as this is what causes it to break.

I was having pain in the front of my knee (patella), and saw a guy wearing this. I asked him about it, and it turns out that he is a doctor and explained exactly what was going on with my knee. Although I am not able to replicate his explanation, I was convinced to purchase this. This made me go from a lot of pain, to no pain immediately. If I am not wearing the band, I still feel pain, so I need to figure out what is the root cause of my problem, but at least this allows me too exercise without pain. I wish I had purchased a medium, instead of large . I am 6’2” two and 190 pounds.
