Sparthos Knee Compression Sleeves by (Pair) – Joint Protection and Support for Running, Sports, Knee Pain Relief – Knee Brace for Men and Women – Innovative Breathable Elastic Blend – Anti Slip

I flew a motorcycle–
over a ditch, unintentionally, when I was young and dumb. My Harley and I remained aloft about a second. I landed first, on the ground. The Harley landed on my left knee. See where I’m going with this? More recently, I attempted to break up a fight between my neighbor’s dog and my sweet Sadie. When the fight was over, both dogs were unwounded, but I was once again on the ground. As I attempted to stand, that old left knee failed to cooperate. Torn meniscus.I now wear Sparthos Knee Compression Sleeves on both knees throughout the day. (The right knee aches, too. Arthritis and a pesky hamstring pull.) I’m an active old codger. I work out, I walk the dog, I do yard work. The Sparthos sleeves are great! I wear a size “large” and extend the sleeve high on my right leg (see pic above–wish my legs looked like that) to cover the spot where the hamstring connects to whatever it connects to. The sleeves allow me to climb, slowly, sixteen flights of stairs as part of my exercise routine. (Not trying to be Mr. Olympia–just trying to stay even.)This is my 2nd pair. I would still be wearing the first after more than a year but somebody (maybe me?) put the Sparthos in the dryer. Anything that will stretch and support so well will also shrink when subjected to the extreme heat of a clothes dryer. Don’t do it. Follow directions. Handwash. Air dry.I’ve worn probably a half-dozen brands of knee sleeve, and also tried three or four brands of knee wraps. The Sparthos beats them all, hands down. They do what they’re supposed to do–provide excellent support and extend from upper calf to lower hams. They’re durable, and they look great, even on my skinny old legs. I’ll buy another pair soon as I forget and stoke the new ones in the dryer. In fact, I may buy another pair today to wear while the new pair are air-drying at room temperature after a gentle 2-minute wash in the kitchen sink.

Nice product – works well at a good price.
Purchased as an alternative to having a constant black knee showing while wearing shorts, and it’s perfect for that. Looks like I’ve got a nice tan on that knee, to match the other.Soft and comfortable. Doesn’t feel as tight as my old sleeves, but seems to provide just as much support.

Not supportive enough for serious knee pain
This would be a great knee sleeve for a sprain, strain or just to give some knee suppport. But it did not provide anywhere near enough support or stabilization for the osteoarthritis in my knee.Plus the size is weird. I have very slim legs and in all other knee braces I wear a small. With this, I measured and it came out an extra large! I ordered an XL and a Large. The Large was way too tight around my thigh and didn’t give enough support to my knee. The XL was comfortable around my thigh but really didn’t provide much support at all. As I said – probably good for a sprain or strain but not serious knee problems.

Go down 1 size
Helpful for knee support and relieving pain. Better than any other supports I’ve tried. I measured and according to chart needed XL. When received, it was not tight enough. I returned and ordered LG fit better. Tight but not too tight.

The seller was responsive but ultimately not helpful. I was promised a corrected price by an Amazon representative, but no luck. Apparently the guy was mistaken and Amazon would not honor the price promise. Nor would the seller.As for the product, it is the only one I can find that is small enough for my thin legs. I sized down from their measurements, the size they recommended did fit ,but not with enough compression. It seems to be excellent.I have had a very hard time to find a sleeve that is not too big. Cannot speak about durability, I just bought it last week.

Very good knee pad
