Review on 🦵 Shock Doctor 872 Knee Brace, Knee Support for Stability, ACL/PCL Injuries, Patella Support, Prevent Hyperextension, Meniscus Injuries, Ligament Sprains for Men & Women, Single Unit (1) by Michael Rodas

PRO: Very well constructed Looks athletic CONS: Small oversized, oversized sizing chart can be incredibly difficult (especially with painful injuries). I was about to send it back when I realized: put the pant leg through the splint first. Then slide your foot into the pant leg until you can no longer move. Then pull the trouser leg over the strut with one hand and at the same time pull the strut over the knee hole with the other hand. To remove, pull on the bottom of the leg and at the same time pull the brace down through the knee hole. This made it MUCH easier to put on and take off. I usually wear size XL in regular clothes and was surprised that I came under XXL which is the largest size they have and it was still quite tight. If you're having trouble turning it on and off, see my advice above. It seemed very tight for the first day or two, but after that it became less stiff and "broken". I'm wearing it to stabilize my knee and am expecting surgery in a few weeks. The only reason I don't give it five stars is because I think the size is small and I hope the company makes them in larger sizes. I have several taller colleagues with knee issues and was disappointed to find out this is their largest size.
