I bought this brace because due to injury my knee gives out and i have alot of pain and swelling. This brace is very light weight but has given me more support than braces that weigh twice as much. Very comfortable, can wear it all day with no problems. My knee still gives out some but this brace supports it enough that i can catch it. For my injury it has helped alot. I highly suggest it.

I love to play basketball and have torn my ACl twice, so I have tried many different types of knee braces. This knee brace is one of the best if not the best knee brace I have ever used to play basketball with. It gives me a good support, good range of motion, and stays in place. I highly recommend this brace, just make sure you get the proper size.

I like this brace for the comfort aspect, and it prevents my knee from rattling when skiing the chutes. I mainly use this skiing in the Tahoe ski areas.

I have an auto immune disease and periodically my knee swells and weakens. This brace is comfortable enough to wear all day and gives me the support I need to stay on my feet without greater risk of injury. I would recommend this brace to anyone who needs periodic support for weakened knees due to injury or illness. Jeff from Connecticut.

I have had knee problems for a while and these were the first knee braces that provided enough support for my knees without hindering motion too excessively. That being said, bending your knee past 90 deg. is not easy or comfortable but other than that they do a great job.

I tore my lateral and medial meniscus. Not sure how much, but I'm in pain all the time. I got this knee brace because I believed the hinges would help my knee not go left/right (a.k.a, the wrong way) when walking. It doesn't happen very often, but it's extremely painful and something I would rather not occur.Anyway, I measured my knee and it just happened to be in the "small" size range. I decided to get a medium because I had read reviews in which people had said to get one size up. I'm glad I got the medium, but the bottom part is tight on my leg (below the kneecap) as is. I don't think the small would have fit at all. I'm 6ft 3, and I weigh about 180 pounds. So, I'm rather tall and skinny.I've only had this product about a day, but when I put it on it feels absolutely amazing. My only problem with it is since it helps keep my knee somewhat straight when walking, I find it feels a little odd. I don't walk like a normal person...more like a penguin (or so I'm told). But, I've been pain free all day and I'm going to keep using it and see how it goes.I'm not going to give it 5-stars yet until I've had more time with it, however. (But, right now, I love it!)EDIT 12/7/2011: I've been using this brace for about a week, and I can tell you it's STILL amazing. I've found myself thinking about not wearing it because there's no way it hurts so much without it. Seriously. But, I still wear it because after a long day, my knee will start aching a little. Not enough to make me worried, but enough to remind me.And, of course, it doesn't help with the stiffness I get when I sit for too long. But, overall I would recommend this to anyone with meniscus problems. I can't recommend this product for ACL, PCL, or MCL problems, as mine are fine...as far as I can tell.

This brace does not open up - it must be slipped over the foot and up to the knee. I'm really disappointed to find that the largest HG-80 knee brace Mueller makes, the size XL, is not even wide enough to slip over my 17 1/2 inch (44.5 cm) calves. I'm a 6' 4" tall athlete who wears size XL shirts, sweaters, and coats - and my leg muscles are about average for my size. Mueller really ought to think about offering a 2XL and maybe even a 3XL. Most people with knee problems are either athletes or overweight and these limited sizes will eliminate LOTS of those people. Apparently both would require a much larger brace than the size XL.

This is a few steps up from one of those knee braces you can buy at a pharmacy or department store.I like it, the design and the way it feels and looks on me. Great product.

I have been suffering from knee pain for 6 years because I tore my left MCL twice. After 2 surgeries the doctors ended up taking 80% of my left MCL out. Since those surgeries I have been trying brace after brace after brace - all failed. One day while searching for a new brace I came across the Mueller Hg80 Hinged Knee Brace, Large, Black. I thought what would it hurt to try the brace. As soon as the brace arrived I tried it on expecting just another brace. As I began walking around, the support from the bracefelt amazing. With support that I felt around my thigh, knee and calf and with the hinges for extra support I was truley amazed. I have noticed I can stand and walk longer than I have in a very long time. I am back playing sports which has made me very happy! I would strongly recommend this product to anyone who suffers from knee pain or needs extra support for a knee problem.

Attractive design, good quality, however the density / support of the material (?), provided less support in my case than McDavid design. The McDavid Neoprene Patella Knee Support With Spring Steel Stays worked for me. Looking at the knee brace product lines there are so many to chose from, you have to accept the reality of purchasing several before finding a match.

I'm a petite asian girl and when I noticed they have a small knee brace that not only looks comfortable, but sturdy also, I jumped right on it.Unfortunately right when I put them on and Velcro the straps I bent my knees and the seams came undone.I was very disappointed in the quality of craftsmanship. The concept and design was great. The hinge allowed support and mobility.Overall, if the seams didn't come undone, I would have loved to see what this brace can do.

I am wearing this brace for wrestling practice to replace my heavy duty one from having my ACL replaced. I really like it. I am not sure if the hinges would really hold up well against a blow or if they are worth having. The only issue I have had with it is that I might have been better off with a size smaller.

Good product! The only problem is the small says it works for 12-14 inches around the knee but the one I purchased for my daughter is to big around her thigh so it didn't stay pulled up. Adding a little extra Velcro fixed the problem!

The spandex-like lining is really thin and offers no stability support. The only support really comes from the metal brace skeletal structure. McDavid's similar braces provide better support because the support comes from both the metal bracing and the spandex-like material. With this Mueller knee brace, the spandex material does not hold the knee stable enough, it is tight but all it feels like is a tight women's stocking with metal braces...only good if you are looking for minimal support...i wish i stuck with McDavid.

This brace is fantastic. I had acl replacement several years back and have worn many braces since. This is by far the most comfortable and you can easily wear it all day on those day after you over did it. The one reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it is not as stable as I would like. It's not bad but I have some nicer neoprene braces that are a little more stable. I love this one for wake boarding and skiing but if I play a game of basketball that has the potential of getting physical I go back to the neoprene.

This is hands down most comfortable brace i have had yet. I had ACL replacement in '97 and have had many braces since then. Not as stable as my custom made brace but it is a thousand times more comfortable. I can wear it all day and have no pinched or chaffing feelings. Easy to clean also. I am going to buy another to keep on hand and so i can rotate clean ones.
