Perfect brace if you want support but not compression or impact protection.
I played rugby in college and soccer before and after plus tennis so my knees have had more than their fair share of abuse.  My right one makes a squishy noise when going up stairs that the doctor says someday will be a problem but mostly when I run (jog and walk and then jog and etc.)  I notice the pain.  I have tried a number of items but all were either impact cushion or compression (diabetic) and either did not have the freedom of movement or the support.  For me these have the perfect balance between the two.  I can run with it on, I can walk around the house (if knee hurts) with it on, and I can even wear it during the day doing errands again if the knee is bothering me.  While it might not be what you need, if you want good support, flexibility, and comfort then I would recommend considering these.<br /><br />*If you found my review helpful, please let Amazon know by clicking the helpful button below!<br />*Disclosure: I received a sample product from the Amazon Vine program for an honest and unbiased review.
