IPOW 2 Pack Knee Pain Relief & Patella Stabilizer Knee Strap Brace Support for Hiking, Soccer, Basketball, Running, Jumpers Knee, Tennis, Tendonitis, Volleyball & Squats, Black

Great for runners!!

Bought these for my son for extra knee support due to him having knee pain. When I asked how they worked he said they would not stay up while he was playing sports. These are one size fits most however my son is average size so they should have fit. They would probably work better for weight training days when there is minimal leg movement.

These straps are very easy to adjust. Doesnt scratch the back of your knee. More comfortable than a full sleeve. Very discreet. You can wear under your pants with no show of the strap. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you for a great product.

These are just ok for my needs. I wrote them to do a workout and had them pulled as tight as I could and I didnt feel they really have me the support I was hoping for. I also want to wear them under jeans and I think they are too bulky. I thought they would be flatter. I will wear them with shorts doing yard work and continue to look for something with a little more support and flatter for a miniscus tear.

I had little hopes for this to work. Within a week while wearing this my knee stopped giving out during my workouts. Thankful I finally found something that works!

I have tried bigger and more expensive braces but this has helped with my pain by far the most

The POW 2 Pack Knee Pain Relief & Patella Stabilizer Knee Strap Brace Support for Hiking and walking is not a good solution for me. A knee sleeve or knee wrap gives me more support and greater comfort.

Like most people here, I purchased these straps hoping they could provide my knees with some added stability and pain relief. I have suffered from patellofemoral pain in my right knee on and off for the last 10 years. At times it can be painful to walk, let alone run. For now, at least, the symptoms have gone away, but I know they will only come back if I dont take preventative measures. So Ive tried a BUNCH of different accessories claiming to help with knee problems. Some have worked really well, others not so much. Unfortunately these knee straps fall into the latter category. When I first tried them on I actually felt like they might make a difference. My patella did feel like it had some extra support. But I had to experiment with adjusting the straps (loosening and tightening) before my knees felt supported. You want it to be tight, but not TOO tight, and if its not tight enough these literally will do nothing. First of all, these straps were not comfortable on bare skin. They feel much better placed over a thin layer of clothing like leggings or knee-high socks. But the biggest issue for me was how these performed during a run. This item claims it can be used during activity including running. So thats what I got it for - - to prevent pain while running. Whats odd is that throughout my run these straps didnt hurt or feel bothersome, and yet I found my calf muscles to feel unusually tight. I had to stop a total of 7 times to stretch during just a short 2 mile run. I have NEVER had to stop so often and figured maybe I was just having one of those days. It wasnt until 3/4 of the way into my run that I suspected maybe these straps were the problem. It didnt dawn on me sooner because I didnt feel discomfort or anything weird going on with the straps. So I took them off just to see if it made a difference, and it most certainly did. I was able to run the last 1/4 with no calf pain at all. Needless to say, I wont be using them again. The reason I believe this was happening is because during an activity like running, certain parts of your body like your feet and legs begin to swell. This is why experts tend to recommend going up a half size when choosing a running shoe. And its likely that I needed to do the same with this strap, loosen it up a bit to accommodate expansion during a run. The fit felt perfect for walking, but clearly needed adjustment for running. I want to stress the point that I never at any time felt like I installed these too tight. But the difference between these straps and something like a knee sleeve is that a sleeve is more flexible and can accommodate the swelling that naturally occurs during activity. These straps, on the other hand, are firmly in place and dont budge. Because of that, they inadvertently cut off proper blood flow which is why I kept having to stop because of calf pain. It can become very tricky to adjust these straps to provide both support AND proper circulation ahead of the activity youre about to take on. Because if theyre not tight enough they wont do anything, so finding that balance isnt easy. What you really dont want, though, is a tourniquet on your leg, and these straps can become one if youre not careful. I feel like this issue could easily be fixed if there was some slight elasticity to the velcro straps, but there isnt. So Im giving this product 2 stars instead of 1, because the bad experience I had was likely down to user error and not having fitted it properly. But figuring out how tight or loose to adjust the straps became more of a chore that I didnt want to take on EVERY time I run, and then possibly have to stop multiple times DURING my run to make adjustments. No thanks. I think these straps are much better suited for walking rather than athletics. My favorite running accessories are now a simple combination of calf and knee sleeves that offer slight compression and stability. Not as much as maybe a strap or brace, but enough whereby it helps minimize discomfort and boosts my performance without cutting off my circulation.

Works awesome for a tennis elbow strap.

I run about 1 hour everyday and my knees were feeling it. I bought this product for support but the first days they hurt even more, it takes some practice and patience to locate them correctly but once you get the right spot its easy to remember. Now I dont feel any pain when doing exercises
