[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I had a knee surgery two years ago. At first everything was ok, but then the situation started to deteriorate, and I had to look for things that will support my knees. I used more than 3 Bauerfeind knee pads. The product is good, but as you can see, it is expensive. I later found NEENCA on Amazon. This is a pretty good idea. I tried their 051 series and 053 series of knee pads.(In fact there is no difference between the two） The conclusion is that Bauerfeind is a very good product, but overall, NEENCA has won. Bauerfeind: The most impressive thing is the excellent breathability, as well as a good brand image. Silicone pads are larger and thicker. The Bauerfeind seems to be more shaped while the NEENCA is heavier piece of long rectangular plastic. That said, there is no noticeable difference between the two while wearing and running. NEENCA: The NEENCA is slightly longer than the Bauerfeind (see pictures) which gives me the sense of better support and compression over a larger area. Patella gel pads surrounds the kneecap, double-sided metal spring stabilizers fit tightly with your knee joint. These special functional element strengthen side support and maintains joint stability. It effectively disperses pressure, keeping your knee warm, lubricating your joints. Conclusion-Given the huge price differential and that you can buy several NEENCA sleeves for the cost of one Bauerfeind sleeve coupled with negligible performance differences I recommend the NEENCA.（I hope my review can help you :)'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'These are very supportive and do not disappoint. I bought two so I could wear them on both knees. I am 5\'5" and weigh 300lbs. I recently started working out with a trainer doing many exercises including squats, deadlifts, pushups, and other exercises that quickly began to bother my knees. I needed something that would stabilize my knee but comfortable enough to wear during a workout. Because of my size, these knee braces were the only ones I could purchase. I\'m so glad I did! They are easy to pull on but tight enough to stay up through a rigorous hour workout. I\'ve included the highly unflattering pictures of the braces AFTER my workout to show how well they stayed up. My above knee measurement (right at the top of the brace) is 26.5". I highly recommend these to anyone regardless of size!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Feet up, knee braces on (I bought two) and I’m feeling so wonderful. I fractured my knee cap a couple weeks ago. The doctors brace was such a confusing mess, I ordered this brand and could be happier. I’m a chunky nana, short and stout so I ordered the XXL and the snug is perfect. There’s two grippers built in on each side so just flip down the top cuff and using each side grip, gently pull up until your knee cap is in the circle. Super easy and they stay put. I plan to hand wash and air dry to extend the life of elastic. I’m sure I’ll fall again so these two guys are my friends!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I purchased this knee brace because of knee pain I had when I went walking. I had tried the straps that fasten just below the knee but my knee pain gradually got worse. After looking through the selections on Amazon, I tried Neenca because it looked like it would be comfortable and didn't use straps. I like the fit and feel of the brace. It stays in place and does not slide down on my leg when I walk. And it is not as hot as the old neoprene knee brace I used to wear.\nI did have one issue - one of the side pieces in the brace was damaged during shipping (it arrived in a padded envelope from Amazon that looked like it had been folded). Their package came with a sheet indicating a customer service email address to send any comments to if you needed assistance. So, at 11:28 PM, I sent an email to them explaining the problem and asking how they could help me resolve the problem. At 11:46 PM, I got a response from customer service offering to send another knee brace for the one that was damaged. I sent them my order number and shipping address at 12:04 AM. At 2:22 AM, I received an email saying that the replacement order was on it's way. It's hard to beat a response time like that. I am a happy customer...."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I have had 4 scopes done on my left knee and they can't do anymore. My knee is bone on bone and has been for 8 years now. I've heard bad things about knee replacements and some good. I choose at this time to NOT have it done. I've been using this brace now for a few days.... IT'S GREAT. on a 1-10 scale for pain it's about .5 - 1 ..... I don't show much of a gimp when walking with this brace on. I do have a metal sports brace that hurts to wear it more than 4 hrs. .... this brace is light weight and doesn't hurt at all .. the first day; I wore it for 10 hrs.. I RECOMMEND this brace."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I had knee surgery on my right knee 5 months ago and my left knee a year and a half ago. Since then, I\'ve really struggled with stability and with knee pain. We just moved into a new house a month ago and I\'ve really been struggling because the stairs are 8" instead of a standard 6. I just received this today and already noticed a HUGE difference in what I\'m able to do. The pain just traversing the stairs is almost gone, let alone all other abilities. It was easier just getting up off the floor, and kneeling or squatting. In addition, I generally have an allergic reaction to most braces or support devices. Not even sweat bumps with this one!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I recently tore my median meniscus, and I was very fortunate it was a very minor injury. I'm very glad I purchased this knee brace!\n\nI purchased a real cheap $5 knee brace from a local general store, and the thing fell apart after 4 days after cutting my lawn once while wearing it.\n\nSince my knee was still bothering me I decided to invest a few more bucks as obviously your knees are pretty important in ones daily life.\n\nThat's when I came across NEENCA brand knee brace. The price was right, the reviews were good, I liked the design, and the description.\n\nSize: XL\nTo help with sizing, Ill say I have some pretty big legs from playing hockey and being athletic my whole life. I am 6' 205lbs. I purchased the XL version of the knee brace and my only complaint is that it is somewhat tight. If you are any larger than I am I would highly recommend a larger size brace.\n\nThe brace itself is very well made. It provides plenty support, and the spring like metal going down the sides help with bending of the knee. The stitching is great and the fabric is comfortable, it is just slightly tight.\n\nI would definitely recommend this knee brace for anyone with knee problems. It is a great product for a great price.\n\nThank you,\nJoseph P"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I really never considered I will need one, but than I decided to bike 100 miles.\nMy knee gave out while cycling and anytime I had to push down on the pedal i felt a shooting pain.\nI decided to try out a brace and what a difference it makes.\nIt stabilizes the knee giving soft comfortable compression. Even with the bars on the side if gives me full freedom of movement so I can even bike in this.\nNext year I will put a lot more training into biking long distance but this brace will definitely help me with this.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I am a 68 y.o. retiree whom loves to travel and used to love to walk my evening constitutional (at least pre-COVID) but,...as i get older the knee gets worse and even less of my meniscus remains! And, let\'s face it, who wants to get a knee replacement and go through 6 months of PT (again now during Covid) when I\'m terrified of going to a hospital to have the surgery to begin with and also with covid an extra 15 pounds on my already overweight body! So, because I don\'t wish to go through all this agita...I buy braces that give more and more support and this thing (for the money spent) would have cost 5X as much at the orthopedist! It gives a nice cushiony support around the knee cap with two 6" long white nylon/plastic side pieces that give stiff yet flexible support. The nylon side pieces are sewn within the brace and are serrated/segmented to allow the aforementioned flexibility. I still workout with my indoor gym which consists of an elliptical and an expensive hi-quality rowing machine (as well as weights-bench-curls-overhead press) and I would not last half the time unless I had this support for peace of mind as well as actual knee support! I\'ve bought probably 6 different brands with varying degrees of support of and this is the best of the bunch. HOWEVER,....for me just using for daily walking in and out of the house, errands, driving to shop, etc......I would say that comfort becomes an issue after about 5 or 6 hours!\nNonetheless, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!\nHey folks,....I spend a small fortune in time, energy, and moola buying and using stuff here on amamzon so if you found this review was HELPFUL....well, you know what to do!
