Fit and Comfort

Pros:

  • "The fit was perfect. Make sure to measure your leg, to ensure the perfect fit."
  • "Very comfortable, didn't cause any kind of irritation while running and provided the support I needed to keep my knee from hurting."
  • "This sleeve fits snugly, but it is not constrictive."
  • "Feels comfortable on--- it's light-but doing its job. I can wear it for hours."
  • "So glad I purchased this one! Great fit and easy to put on and take off."
  • "Usually I get pain but with the compression it gives no pain and loads of support."
  • "This knee sleeve does everything you could ask. It’s very comfortable, provides nice compression and it attractive compared to alternatives."

Cons:

  • "The sleeve ends up rolling, which causes it to pinch right above my knee."
  • "When walking around, it tends to slide down on your hamstrings and doesn't stay in place."
  • "I have thin legs and ordered a Medium. It was so tight my leg on each side of the sleeve swelled up until it was very uncomfortable."
  • "Sized too small! It supported my knee, but at a cost."
  • "I'm on the LOW end of what they give as the range for a medium and this thing is absolutely choking my thighs."
  • "It fit nicely on the ends and didn’t move around but I had no more support in the knee than wearing nothing at all."
  • "I measured as indicated but what arrived was way too large with little compression."

Support and Effectiveness

Pros:

  • "This compression sleeve has helped so much and I have only been using it a few days."
  • "As soon as tried the Uflex knee compression sleeve, I noticed the clicking stopped."
  • "This sleeve makes my knee feel stable and strong while I run, and it doesn’t fall down my leg or get bunched at all while running."
  • "The best knee brace I've purchased. I bought this knee brace a little over a year ago, and it's still very effective at stabilizing my knee."
  • "Great support! Exactly what I needed."
  • "I certainly ran pain free - which was WONDERFUL!"
  • "The UFlex Athletics Knee Compression Sleeve gave me all the support I needed and was budget friendly."

Cons:

  • "All of these amazon knee compression sleeves seem to be the same useless items."
  • "Bought the sleeves for some extra compression while training for a marathon. They instantly bunched up in under 30 seconds of running."
  • "It provides no compression or support. Sizing down would cut off circulation to my leg."
  • "These sleeves all have one inherent fault, and that is that they just don’t offer much support to the knee itself."
  • "When I wore this to run a marathon I felt absolutely no support what so ever and I even went with a smaller size."
  • "Provides no compression where it should, i.e. around the knee."
  • "I was disappointed with the lack of support with this."

Material and Quality

Pros:

  • "This product is made of high quality materials, very supportive and comfortable to wear."
  • "The material is comfortable and I can wear it all day long without it getting all sweaty underneath."
  • "The quality is great and pretty surprised by the thickness of the material."
  • "Your compression sleeve really worked well and it is very well made."
  • "It’s made of quality material and is long lasting."
  • "The quality is also pretty dang great - which I did not expect."
  • "Good quality product that I’m using regularly."

Cons:

  • "Its also made in China which again is a bummer and seems cheap."
  • "Made in CHINA! Wore this to see how well it worked. After the second day I developed an itch and slight rash."
  • "Over time the elastic at the top gave out, but that's to be expected."
  • "After two days it stretched out and was less supportive."
  • "They expand over time which loosens then it loses the support for my knee."
  • "I've noticed a couple threads hanging off them both, but nothing major; they're definitely not falling apart or anything, and I practically live in them."
  • "I've washed it a few times already and air dried it, and it has held its original form."

Customer Service and Value

Pros:

  • "If you want to try a knee sleeve without breaking the bank, this one is a good buy for the money."
  • "They replied back with a discount code and I was able to order another one for $0.99!! Great customer service!!"
  • "It was $9.50 when I bought it, and it’s a really good sleeve at that price point."
  • "The company was great to deal with and I received my new brace just in time for my half marathon."
  • "You get MORE than what you pay for tbh."
  • "This product was recommended by NYC marathon runners for knee stability."
  • "Very highly recommended!"

Cons:

  • "I have been through 4 of these already and now im looking for a new brand/product."
  • "Observations: I have been hand washing occasionally and running 4 times a week for a couple months and it's showing some wear so obviously they don't last forever."
  • "Disgusting, they send me a used one with hair on it and who knows what else."
  • "No one at Amazon would talk with me but they send another size Medium."
  • "I received this sleeve on the 25th of September and I am writing this on December 1st. This particular sleeve has begun to lose elasticity on the top and bottom parts."
  • "I had to send back my first order as the size chart was a little off for me."
  • "My only complaint is that the sleeve has to be hand washed and air dried. It takes over 8hrs or longer to dry indoors."
