Review on πŸ‹οΈ Enhance Performance and Recovery with Pro-Tec Athletics Short Sleeve Knee Support by Tim Burns

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Definitely need support

I was training for a half marathon and needed support after injuring my knee from extending my leg too far outward (meniscus injury I think). I couldn't walk for weeks and finally succumbed to the idea that I would need an orthotic if I was to compete in my race. Luckily someone else wrote a review with the same measurements as mine so I bought what she bought. 5ft 7in, 135 lbs, bought a small one. Tightly compressed but comfortable. At first I didn't think this brace could actually help me walk, but it magically worked. I could run for miles without feeling any pain and I ran my half marathon with ease. The only thing I didn't like about the design of this brace was the fold line at the back of the knee. My knee bends and then inevitably rubs against that crease, causing some discomfort, but nothing like a feeling of pain in the knee. Definitely small and not bulky which was another main reason I bought these braces. It absorbs a lot of sweat so it's really wet after a 13 mile run. Right after I'm done running and walking to cool off, I lower the brace around my ankle and eventually take it off.

Pros
  • Knee pads
Cons
  • I won't say anything
