and it simply wasn't practical or comfortable for all-day use
I had two ligaments shredded about 20 years ago, and successfully emerged from surgery and physical therapy. About a month ago, walking to the mailbox, that knee suddenly started hurting in a way reminiscent of the original injury. I used an ACE-brand knee support as well as a few other brands, but as other users have noted, odor quickly becomes an issue, and it simply wasn't practical or comfortable for all-day use. Enter the Mava Sports support. FAR more comfortable, FAR more compatible with clothing, and flat-out superior to any of the others I've worn. Their sizing guide was spot on, no small feat these days, so the size I ordered fits perfectly. It's very rare for me to be thoroughly happy with any product, so when I am, a positive review is a must.

WONDERFUL! My wife and I agree. We have been disappointed with many knee sleeves. These we can wear all day!
My wife and I both need to wear knee sleeves or braces nearly continuously. We are disabled seniors and have pain and weakness in our knees that make things like standing and walking very difficult. Sometimes impossible! These are the best braces I have found for my wife and myself! They are comfortable and provide excellent support. I generally remove my braces when I go to bed. My wife wears hers 24/7. I have evaluated many braces. Futuro, Mueller, DonJoy, and Ultraflex all make good products, but I have ordered and returned many of their knee braces because they just haven't worked for us. These MAVA knee sleeves are wonderful. My wife and I agree. These knee sleeve are made from bamboo and carbon. Wow! Nothing to irritate our skin like latex or spandex. We ordered the large size in black. The compression level is wonderful for all-day wear. For us, these braces are the solution we need. THANK YOU MAVA SPORTS!

Heavenly feel for the tired and achy knees and legs :-)
I genuinely loved these knee sleeves... These arrived home just today....I have been suffering from pain and swelling in my left knee due to repetitive workouts consisting of squats and lunges.I do wear kasp knee sleeves during the workouts yet specially the lunges gave me a very sharp knee pain and have been experiencing aches in my legs for past two weeks. I am a new mom of a 7month old girl and of a 7 year old boy that keeps me on my legs for most of the time in a day ....To my wonder as soon as I wore these I started experiencing the compression and the warmth as someone is giving me warm massage over my knees. Kept wearing these for the whole day...shopping out and inside the house.Now I am going to sleep and just removed them and really have no pain in my legs and I hope to sleep well throughout the night.I highly recommend these.You will love them !

Great support for the knees!
These things fit perfect and the added warmth they provide sure help my knees on cold winter days. I wear them all day and hardly notice that I even have them on. One of my knee caps seems to want to float around and these keep it right where it's suppose to be which is the added comfort I was looking for. I will be purchasing these again as needed, I love them!

Well-fitting Braces to ABSOLUTE GARBAGE!!!!!!!!!
Tried em on as soon as I got the mail. The general fit, as well as the length of these knee braces, is what I've been seeking for some time. Like I've read from other reviews, these can be worn under my pants. I've worn braces that have bulky padding, and they can be visible. These braces seem pretty cool. I could also slide my padded braces over them if needed (baseball playing days are in the past, hardcore playing, anyway). Gratitude for the great design👊. This was posted after I received them.Fast-forward to Friday 5/11/2018As of Friday, upon just wearing these support without any other knee support or braces. I was walking to work by the time I got there, after not even a 10-minute walk the top of the support had slid to below my knees. Initially, upon getting to my post I kept pulling them up, but after maybe 20-minutes, I just left them alone. Unfortunately, I'm in the market, AGAIN, for some durable and withstanding knee support/braces. The thing is, I was usually wearing the supports around the house. Now that we are embarking on warmer months, at times I may do 2.5 or 5-mile walks outside, sliding as I walk would do me absolutely no good.I guess thanks while it lasted, even though it DIDN'T last nowhere near long enough, smh!

My favorite knee supports
I've bought lots of knee supports (a drawer full, plus some that landed in the trash) trying to find a pair that supports my knees adequately, stays up, don't sweat, don't stink, and don't hurt. Finally, I have found what I've been looking for with these Mava supports. Today I did major grocery shopping with these on and my pain level was greatly decreased. I wear these all day without discomfort. I measured for a size large but they were too tight for me, I ordered the XL before even returning the L because I could tell these were going to be what I've been looking for. Despite having to return the size large and reorder I am still rating these "five star". Also, I appreciate the price of these Mava supports and it was one of the reasons I decided to try them.

Thick and durable
I bought these to help me while I await surgury for a meniscular tear and for recovery. I measured as directed and the fit is perfect. First thing I noticed taking them out of the package, it that they are thick, warm, and durable. Excellent compression and very comforting. Instructions say hand wash and line dry. I believe these will give years of use. Gives better support than the copper compression ones I have bought in the past. How will they hold up over the years? That remains to be seen, but I'll give them the care they recommend and feel they will work just fine. Thanks for a great product.

Certainly do the job!
I originally ordered a Medium but they rolled down and bunched behind my knees. On contacting Customer Services regarding this I cannot rate them highly enough on the way I was contacted and assisted. I now have the Small and they are perfect!! I had surgery last October which involved the removal of most of my cartilage in my right knee and confirmed my ACL was completely torn but not repairable, this has also resulted in leaving me with osteoarthritis. Although its been a long recovery I am happy to say these knee sleeves are great for helping support me when out running or performing any impact exercise in the gym, still keeping it pretty low impact at the moment! I'm happy to have them in my life anyway!! Thanks again for your first class customer experience! :)

Excellent product, I was really struggling with my knee ...
Excellent product, I was really struggling with my knee clicking all the time due to arthritis but the knee supports have been a God Send and would highly recommend this product & many Thanks.

Well worth it
While they don't provide the same amount of support as the neoprene ones I have, they have two distinct advantages which make them well worth having. They don't tend to ruck up behind the knee and they keep your knee warm but not to the point of sweating. Hence they can be worn all day without issue.

COMFORTABLE SUPPORT
Recently getting knee pain from running so I got these to try to offer support in the gym and for some recent hill walking. They hug the knee well and seem to offer good support, though possibly not gripping as firmly as the white heavy duty ones you get from high street chemists. They stayed in place in the gym and while walking up big hills, where the chemist brought ones I have tried slip down in use. They feel like they are supporting my knee during exercise. These are softer and more comfortable to wear than the Open Patella style with Velcro straps, although I've not yet used the Open Patella support for exercise so I cant compare performance. Pros - they are comfortable, seem to offer support, and the black pair look fine in public. Cons - only one I can see is the lettering peels off, but so what.

Arthritis Pain Relief
These were purchased for my mother who suffers from arthritis. She has used various medications and other aids in the past without getting much pain relief. Since using these knee supports she says she has found them to be effective in relieving some pain. I think the secret is not use them constantly otherwise you would become used to them and not notice the pain relieving effect. They are easy to put on and take off plus they do not show through clothing.
