A good product! for knee pads

I bought this knee pad for my 15 year old daughter. I read all the reviews and bought the XX-Large and it fit perfectly. This is a really great patella stabilizer. It doesn't hang around my daughter's leg and fits her just right. However, it fits exactly (exactly what I wanted). Just be aware that it might be tight the first time you put them on. Once you start wearing it frequently like my daughter does, it will start to wrap around your foot and loosen up a bit. She says it fits much better now after wearing it for 2 weeks. This helps give her kneecap good support and works well when she is working with her fitness trainer. It's a little tight, but it's just what I need for her kneecap. Update: (3-7-15) --- Great product! My daughter has had this product for 2 months now. Even after 2 months, the knee pad is still tight and perfect for her. Usually, and with all the other knee pads we got, everyone else stretched and got bigger. This is very dangerous for someone who immediately dislocates their kneecap. This shock doctor is still tight on the knee after 2 months of wearing. I love this product! In fact, I reported this to their orthopedist and now he will recommend this knee brace to his patients. I'm actually ordering another one for her left knee. My daughter has used almost all of the knee pads and this one turned out really "good". The problem with this knee brace is that you have to be careful when putting on and taking off the knee brace as the straps take a while to work out. First it took my daughter 5-10 minutes to figure out how the straps went when she put the knee brace back on. Just remember that initially you will need some time to become familiar with the straps. Once you've solved this problem, you're good to go. Another thing is that this knee pad is small. If you think you are size XL, better order XX-L. It loosens up the more you wear it, but this knee pad runs small. I had to order my daughter XX-L. She is 15 years old, 5 feet 7 inches tall. She used to swim, so she has a lot of muscles in her hips and legs. I've attached a photo for those of you with sizing issues.

Pros
