I have robot knees for leg and foot rest

I bought these to wear to the gym. I've always had problems with my right knee and after an injury at work I felt that I needed extra support when working out in the gym. I'm a big fan of the gym and wear them to every workout. My knees are supported and I feel much better than ever after my workout. When using them for squats, I lift up to 415 pounds in sets and they feel secure. The only issue I had was the seams on the outside of each knee came apart around the top of the lower pivot arm. However, this has not affected the brace in any way and it still performs like a champ. I'm sure I caused this because I think I put them through a lot more than they should. I have one for each knee and as soon as I put them on my knees I feel completely new and almost robotic. The braces are comfortable during workouts and even help protect my legs from using large chest press dumbbells. My knee is stronger now and I owe a lot to the orthotics for being able to deal with what I've been through and getting me back to a healthy state. Now I no longer have pain in my knees in everyday life and they feel good again. What I didn't expect was the amount of people asking about braces. I've lost count of how many people are asking me what it is and where I got it from. I often run errands before or after the gym and wear them all the time. So when I was in different shops, strangers would just come up to me and ask about it. They look good and come in a few bright colors, but I've never seen a knee brace draw so much attention. I always give them rave reviews and hope they take the advice and buy them for themselves. These are the best, most supportive, beautiful and comfortable braces I have ever worn and I have tried them all. When you need a knee brace, the shock doctor is king. I also bought a level 3 orthosis. It is similar to this brace but has two crossed straps at the back instead of just the bottom one like them. I actually found that level 3 had more benefits and level 2 felt more restrictive so I started using it exclusively in the gym as it made my knees stiffer. I now use level 3 for other non-gym related things like cycling.

Pros
  • leg and foot rest
Cons
  • safety
