Bought these for my husband, a route delivery driver logging 20,000 steps a day on his feet. He'd been dealing with knee pain from the constant pounding, and these have made a real difference.
The compression fit is snug without cutting off circulation, and the side stabilizers keep the knee from wobbling without feeling stiff or bulky under his work pants. The patella pad sits right where it should and doesn't bunch up behind the knee, which was his complaint with a cheaper brand he tried before.
Getting two in the pack is a nice value, especially since he wears one daily and it's nice to have a backup for washing rotation. Sizing ran true — measure around the kneecap as suggested rather than guessing.
For anyone on their feet all day dealing with overuse-type knee pain, these offer solid support without being a hassle to wear for a full shift.
