Review: DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM! Sizing guide is completely wrong, and they won't exchange/return! - I followed the size guide on their website, and the brace is so loose it does nothing. The worst thing is they will not allow a return or exchange. This is an expensive item, and as there is no way you can try one on to check the sizing, you are relying on the sizing guide they provide, which is wrong! I highly recommend you don't buy from this supplier, a complete waste of money!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this brace a strap on or a slip up sleeve type brace. Thank you.**
A: Slip on with top and bottom Velcro adjustments.  Good brace with lightweight fabric behind the knee for comfort - no binding or squeeze.

**Q: Is there some way to select whether the brace is for the left or right knee?**
A: This brace is universal left or right

**Q: I measured 2" below the center of the knee cap and got 14.25" to 14.5" .  Would you recommend the L or XL?**
A: Sounds like you're a "tweener." I'm 15.25 which puts me into the outside range of the XL and the beginning range of the XXL. I tried the XL for the snugger fit but the adjustable straps (that originate in the back) were pinching the flesh in the back of my knee... without pulling them tight at all. So I ordered the larger size, kept both for a week and compared that way. The XXL has stretched out a bit at the top and the bottom, which can be dealt with by tightening the straps. And when I do that, I don't get the pinch of the XL. My recommendation would be to buy both and return one. If that's not feasible, I can only say the larger size worked better for me.

**Q: can i wash it**
A: You are able to wash this item by hand and allow to air dry

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Their Sizing **IS CORRECT**
*by R***R on 11 October 2020*

I feel really compelled to write this review because I don't like how so many reviewers say the sizing chart that Shock Doctor provides is incorrect. You can benefit from a mistake I made; I bought 2 but neglected to measure my left leg, assuming both my legs are the same size; I bought 2 XLs, but should have got an L for my left leg. If you are near to being one size or another-- GO DOWN, not up! I mean, assuming you aren't just buying them for aesthetics. First off, there is certainly a break-in period with these, as with anything that fits snug on our bodies-- forget the myth that only leather goods break-in. I have been wearing these everyday, for 10 days, for 8 to 10 hours everyday. They absolutely become more comfortable, and do need to be tightened up a bit more, as time goes on. So just because they feel too tight right out of the package, doesn't mean they will after a week. Second, you should realize that if you have big meaty calves (I envy you,) yes they will be tough to pull over your lower leg, but once you do, the lower straps on the braces are meant to tighten just above the muscle so that they *sit* in place. Hard to explain, but I hope you catch my drift. I have skinny little chicken legs, so I do have to pull them up now and then and re-tighten the straps, much more so with my left leg, again, because I got a size just slightly too big on that side. If you end up tightening the straps too far, you run out of velcro to connect with, and at that point you'll really regret getting a size too big. I found a work around for this, but it's not good to use them in a way they aren't designed to be used-- honestly, just by looking at these things and handling them, you can tell Shock Doctor put a lot of care into the design. ANYHOW, in terms of how they actually work.... like a charm. I have a genetic defect that makes my joints basically like rubber, so the danger of hyper-extending and spraining my knees is ever present. I noticed the difference in stability and support as soon as I put these on, they instantly made a very noticeable difference. I saw a reviewer on youtube saying it's like suddenly adding an extra layer of muscle.. yeah, sort of. More like adding integrity to connective tissue I'd say, but whatever. Awesome either way you look at it. The 3rd day I had them, I went walking around town for a good 3-4 hours-- amazed that my knees didn't feel utterly destroyed that night, as they usually would. My orthopedic specialist said I shouldn't have to wear them forever-- I didn't understand this until I tried them; you can indeed tell that they are training your proprioception via "bio feedback" or whatever. In the mornings now, I wake up with less knee pain, and actually feel more stable for an hour or so before I feel the need to put them on. I hope that stability period keeps growing to the point where I indeed won't need them-- though I will probably always wear them when I have to walk on ice or if I go on a technical hike (one day soon, god willing), just as a safety precaution to stop a sprains or a catastrophic hyper-extension. Oh, and having to wear them everyday, I finally washed them yesterday... hinges came out easily enough, hand washed in the sink, dried over night... just a necessary chore to keep in mind. I read you should really wash these sorts of things twice a week if you wear every day (which is kind of paradoxical when you think about it) even if you aren't getting sweaty. I have gotten in the habit of spritzing them inside with some isopropyl, before bed, hopefully that will keep them cleaner... otherwise, you do get itchy. Well, anyone who wears pads and such for sports knows what I am talking about... "athlete's foot" can happen anywhere on your body, so be careful of that. So, my only regret is buying one a size too big (and that would be only just an inch off maybe)-- so DO obey the manufacture's sizing guidelines, and DO measure both legs if needed, lol.
